An Autographed 8" x 10" [20 x 25 cm] Music Publicity Still (Learn More) Sammy Kaye was the leader of one of the so-called "Sweet" bands of the Big Band Era in the late 1930s and 1940s, and he made a large number of records for Vocalion Records, RCA Victor, Columbia Records, Bell Records, and the American Decca record label. He was also a hit on radio. Mr. Kaye was known for an audience participation gimmick called "So You Want To Lead A Band?" where audience members would be called onto stage in an attempt to conduct the orchestra, with the possibility of winning batons. Kaye was also known for his use of "singing of song titles", which was emulated by Kay Kyser and Blue Barron. Shortly after the Japanese attack on December 7, 1941, Sammy Kaye wrote the music and Don Reid wrote the words to "Remember Pearl Harbor", the tune of which was actually borrowed from Ohio University's "Alma Mater". His NBC Radio show was interrupted by the announcement of the attack. On December 17, 1941, RCA Victor recorded the song, with Sammy Kaye's Swing and Sway Band and The Glee Club. His band members included Ralph Flanagan, Dale Cornell, John Murawski, Sid Rhein, and Marty Oscard. He passed away in 1987 at the age of 77.
