Harry James, Legendary Trumpeter and Band Leader
Harry James died in 1983. He was battling lymphatic cancer but did not want to talk about it. He wanted to play and graciously invited me to sing with him. The song is "You Made Me Love You, his hit song from 1941.
His was the first "name band" to employ vocalist Frank Sinatra, in 1939, for $75 a week. James signed Sinatra to a one-year contract, of which Sinatra worked seven months before leaving to sing for Tommy Dorsey. He wanted to change Sinatra's name to 'Frankie Satin' but Sinatra refused. His later band included drummer Buddy Rich. His featured vocalist was Helen Forrest.
So many hit songs and so many years of amazing music. Thank you Harry.
