Sundays-with-Sinatra-Joe-Piscopo-Fixed
This week on Sundays With Sinatra we are focusing on Mr. Sinatra’s early years with Tommy Dorsey.
The Tommy Dorsey Orchestra was the biggest and most popular Big Band in the 1930’s and 1940’s.
Mr. S. was the star attraction with the orchestra for two years before breaking out on his own.
Some of the landmark Frank Sinatra/Dorsey songs that were hits?
‘I’ll Never Smile Again’, ‘Stardust’, ‘East of the Sun’ and ‘Polka Dots and Moonbeams.’
Also in the Dorsey Band at the same time as Mr. S. was legendary drummer, Buddy Rich!
Also this week, we received a request for the esoteric but powerful LP, “The Reprise Musical Reparatory Theatre!
