    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!!

    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!

    I believe this is the band under Sam Donohue, who is playing the tenor solo. And Larry O’Brien on the ‘bone solo.

      Yes Charlie Shavers is one of the trumpet pickers. Other one, dunno.

    Did Tommy or Jimmy ever play Ed Sullivan before Either one of them died in the 50's?

      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.
