- This late ’39 Dorsey session marked the first during which Buddy Rich occupied the drummer’s chair. It was also the first of two studio dates for vocalist DeWitt, who filled in between the departure of Jack Leonard and the arrival of Frank Sinatra.
From 78rpm Victor 26433 - Careless (Quadling-Howard-Jurgens) by Tommy Dorsey & his Orchestra, vocal by Allan DeWitt, recorded in Chicago November 24, 1939 .

Careless
Now that you've got me loving you
You're careless
Careless in everything you do
You break up appointments and think you are smart
If you're not careful you'll break my heart
Careless
Now that my bridges all are burned
You're careless
Careless in things where I'm concerned
Are you just careless, as you seem to be
Or do you just care less for me?
Another great hit for Dorsey in 1939. I like the vocals and especially love the orchestra’s last part of the song. Bringing it back and downturned horns to a brilliant ending of the song! Greatness!
Good on you 78prof for making this available to the you tube watchers! This is truly great music we will never see the likes of again, unfortunately!
another fine recording by Tommy Dorsey And a fine vocalist by Allan De Witt
I just loved my parents era of music.
This is my grandfather’s era of music. Certainly a different time. Such a lovely tune.
¡Wonderful!
¡Beautiful, Beautiful, Beautiful!
¡Demasiado hermoso!
¡Una maravilla!

Brilliant...thank you so much for uploading.
My father was from a big band family and told me Allen Dewitt was only employed by Dorsey from mid 1939 to 1940. Then as a fill in, now and then. He then sang with Jan Savitt and his orchestra from 1941 and to about the mid-1940’s. Tommy Dorsey somehow talked Harry James into letting Frank Sinatra go with his band. In all those years in the early to mid 40’s. Dorsey practically owned Sinatra in a type of contract he could not get out of due to the terms. He finally did when Tommy Dorsey passed away suddenly in his sleep. Then Sinatra sang solo with various orchestra’s with Capital Records.
Frank left Dorsey during WWII to record for Columbia, he joined Capitol in 1953, and Tommy died in late 1956.
Sinatra was extricated from the contract within a couple of years of his separation from Dorsey with the help of Tommy Rockwell and Manny Sachs. He was recording for Sachs at Colombia in 1943 as a solo act with Axel Stordahl as his conductor. The Dorsey contract likely would have been found to be unenforceable for multiple reasons. Slavery had been abolished by Lincoln in the mid nineteenth century for one. Sinatra was the one who persuaded Harry James to release him from service with that band. James actually suggested that his 1939 contract with Sinatra could have been used to void the one that Dorsey had because it had never been formally terminated when Sinatra signed with Dorsey.
I believe my uncle is in the Sax section Hymie Schertzer
Thank you for sharing this wonderful post.
КРАСИВО.
Careless !! Or Do You Just Careless For Me!!!
Tommy Dorsey a. His mellow trompone.
Before TV there was the radio y this was what played.
The Solo-Tone mute is, of course, very closely associated with Tommy Dorsey, having been utilized in the trombonist's "Song of India" opening statement as well as in many of his ballad solos. I would have to do some thinking, though, to come up with an instance besides this one in which the entire section appears in the opening instrumental chorus with Solo-Tones. As we hear, the section alternates with TD by himself. Perhaps an anomaly! Alan DeWitt, though a fine vocalist, just wasn't an ideal fit for the band -- as both Jack Leonard and Sinatra were. Nevertheless, he manages a perfectly respectable turn here on Eddy Howard's wistful tune. Interestingly, his successor, Sinatra, can be heard singing this one in a "hits of today" medley in an early '40 aircheck.
Thanks for the info on the mute. I always liked his opening to East of the Sun.
@@Telcom100 My pleasure. And, yes, "East of the Sun" is a great example of TD's Solo-Tone work.
Would you know the names of the sidemen in this recording?
@@elliottschertzer876 Trumpets: Zeke Zarchy, Yank Lawson, Jimmy Blake; Trombones: Ward Silloway, Elmer Smithers, Dave Jacobs; Reeds: Johnny Mince (clarinet, alto sax), Fred Stulce (alto sax), Babe Russin (tenor sax), Dean Kincaide (tenor sax); Rhythm: Howard Smith (piano), Carmen Mastren (guitar), Gene Traxler (bass), Buddy Rich (drums)
You wouldn't be related to the great Hymie Schertzer, would you?
@@Trombonology yes he was my Uncle (my dad’s brother)
A forgettable tune. Thank you Tommy and whoever wrote this chart for the out chorus. For me, this saved the record!!! 😄
DeWitt reminds me a lot of Ray Eberle, Bob's less talented brother. I can quite understand that TD traded him in for Frank.
How long was Allan Dewitt with Tommy Dorseys Orchestra? My first time hearing him. Thanks!!
Briefly filling in during the Jack Leonard-to-Frank Sinatra transition, DeWitt was present at only two Dorsey sessions: Nov 24, 1939, and Dec 29, 1939.
Thanks Professor!!
@@russellcandy9850 Great trivia, yeah?
@@scotnick59 Absolutely Kirk!!
Allan DeWtit was with the Dorsey band from Friday 11/3/39 - Thursday 1/25/40
I have this byol miller
♡♡
I take it as I couldn’t care less.
The damage is already done.
And I’m done with you.
Movin’ on,baby!
Ok tune but unfortunately DeWitt sounds a little flat here.
Never heard of Allan Dewitt. i have a feeling TD was less than impressed with him.
As he should be. He's really not very good.
@@basilpeewit3350 I think his voice is beautiful
@@basilpeewit3350 Really not very good? He recorded over 40 songs with top bands (Tommy Dorsey, Jan Savitt, Tiny Hill, etc. and sang with Wayne King, Jimmy Jackson, Frankie Masters and others. His voice was heard over several radio broadcasts) Maybe you should have your ears checked - just a suggestion.
Hermosa canción de jazz vocal, me tranquiliza.
