| | Dorsey was back at number one in January 1936 with "The Music Goes Round and Round" (vocal by Edythe Wright) and topped the charts again in February with "Alone" (vocal by Cliff Weston). | | | By 1944, RCA Victor had exhausted its stockpile of unissued Dorsey recordings and had to resort to reissues, managing Top Ten hits with the 1938 instrumental "Boogie Woogie" and the 1940 recording "I'll Be Seeing You" with Sinatra on vocals. | | | The Dorseys finally organized a full-time band and signed to Decca Records in 1934. |

| | Dorsey gave Sinatra his first vocal spot with the band on a February 1940 record; he stayed with the band for nearly three years. | | | Dorsey managed to be successful after the war, when most of the swing bands foundered. | | | It was soon a huge hit; in addition to the smoothness of the band sound, Dorsey demonstrated a refreshing use of legato voicing on the trombone. |

| | Biography of Tommy Dorsey with gold-music.com |
| | Tommy Dorsey gained a reputation as an ambitious, hard-driving musician and bandleader who was constantly striving to extend the limits of what he and his band could achieve musically. | | | With its sweet-toned instrumental style, the Dorsey Brothers Orchestra combined a big band orchestral sound with the popular appeal of dance music, and quickly emerged as one of the most innovative bands of the developing Swing Era. | | | Before long, the two Dorsey brothers' orchestras—similar on the surface but each with its own distinct musical style—were two of the most popular bands in America. |

| | The Songs of DORSEY & HOWARD DIXON |
| | Two years after he began work, Dorsey started to learn the guitar; and about the same time he began to learn the violin... | | | Realising that he had a talent for composition, Dorsey began to create the songs which so well reveal the feelings of a hard-working, God-fearing millhand. | | | Howard set the words to the tune of "Life's Railway To Heaven," and the brothers performed the song as a vocal duet. |

| | Feature: Tommy Dorsey with Frank Sinatra :: The Sales Office |
| | The regular turnover of musicians in the early Tommy Dorsey Orchestra was quite remarkable and was the result of Tommy& quest for perfection. Allied to this was his habit of tactlessly criticising musicians in front of the rest of the band, which led to several peremptory departures. | | | Tommy Dorsey first appeared in the recording studios in 1928 as a trumpet player with "Tom Dorsey and his Novelty Orchestra" - which was actually a quartet. | | | The importance of singing with the Tommy Dorsey Orchestra was often acknowledged by Sinatra&; and in particular he observed and listened to the way in which Tommy himself used breath control when playing solos. |

| | Jazzed in Cleveland - Part 35 |
| | The Dorsey brothers, borrowing from their experience with small jazz groups and some of the swinging black big bands, combined elements of small group jazz and big band dance music. | | | Tommy Dorsey, of course, formed his own band which became one of the most popular in the world in the late 1930s and early '40s, playing some very commercial dance music as well as some swinging jazz. | | | The temperamental Tommy Dorsey was not happy about being forced to add Bob Crosby to his band and kept needling him, asking if he could sing this song or that song. |
