 The House of the Rising Sun, Sammy Kaye and his Orchestra
Sammy Kaye led what was known during the Big Band era as a "sweet" band.
Sammy Kaye's slogan was "Swing and Sway with Sammy Kaye," but it was swinging like on the front porch, not like Duke Ellington had in mind when he wrote "It Don't Mean a Thing (If It Ain't Got That Swing)."
Kaye's gift was for business, not music, which is probably why he was able to keep his band going pretty much continuously for almost forty years, long after most better bands had been eaten up by a shrinking market and weak management.

As even the liner notes to this CD admit, bandleader Sammy Kaye represented the squarer, more commercial end of the Big Band era, taking his cues from the workmanlike Glenn Miller, but restricting his dance music to an even more controlled, brisker, less lyrical style.
This generously programmed 26-track set features a wide swath of Kaye's postwar work, from 1945-50.
Almost all the songs feature vocals, with lesser-known singers such as Don Cornell, Laura Leslie and Johnny Ryan, as well as the Kaydets vocal ensemble.
