Wow, this was great to hear! This was just one month before the Beatles arrived in America for their famous appearance on the Sullivan Show. The great thing about Ed Sullivan is that he show-cased a wide variety of musical offerings. One week he might feature an Opera singer, the next, a big-band orchestra, and later Elvis, or the Beatles. Something in our culture has been forever lost.
Diversity is wonderful. Just like the Midnight Special would highlight diverse acts. Both great shows, the likes of which we are no longer blessed with, unfortunately. 😢 And Lawrence Welk, too.❤
WOW!! With a young Larry O'Brien on the trombone solo!! On the Glenn Miller Orchestra bus in the late '80s, Larry used to talk about Sam Donahue with the Dorsey band; LOTS of great stories about Sam and Charlie Shavers on trumpet! Thanks for posting this!!
@@rmo52: The other guy might just be the very young man who orginally played 2nd tp. in the 1943 movie "Du Barry Was A Lady" that originally featured this song. Just guessing though, it could be him.
It was featured in the Technicolor 1943 crazy musical comedy "Du Barry Was A Lady". An absolute star studded cast in addition to Buddy Rich, Ziggy Elman being with Dorsey at the time, Jo Stafford with the Pied Pipers also sing with the band. Didn't know about it until about twenty years ago when I found a VHS tape in someone trash along the roadside. Once I got home a put it in the machine, I knew I hit the jackpot.

Thanks for sharing this video of another “Hot” number from Tommy Dorsey’s band. It’s a shame that Tommy wasn’t there to lead.
Have a great day!

Is that Charlie Shavers on the trumpet?? Great effort by the band!
Yes Charlie Shavers is one of the trumpet pickers. Other one, dunno.

The TD Orchestra under the direction of Sam Donahue. The best TD ghost band!!!
Did Tommy or Jimmy ever play Ed Sullivan before Either one of them died in the 50's?
That wasn't "I'm Getting Sentimental Over You." Haha! Beast mode big band sound.
