All I can say is "Oh, my gosh." I am speechless for once except that my husband, Brian, saw Harry James in Vegas before he was shipped off to Vietnam. He said that he was the "greatest."
If this is a '41 photo then he probably switched from a standard format trumpet to the balanced model Selmer shown in the above photo possibly after '38 as a photo in A Pictorial History of Jazz [page 164] shows the '36 to '38 lineup of Chris Griffin,Ziggy Elman and Harry.
watch it, not sure about Louis A comment!;) to each his own, but you have to check out who Harry James gave props to about his sound....Louis A of course, and was a pallbearer, so your opinion may have differed from Harry's own opinion vs. Mr. Armstrong:) But yes, I LOVE HARRY JAMES, and if I could play like either he or LA, I would go Harry
Er, this isn't the original version of "You Made Me Love You." Look up Al Jolson -- I believe his recording of it came out in 1913, which is also the year the song was initially written.
This Wonderful Song and I Were Both Born In 1941,Thats Why I Love It Sooo Much. Actually it was My Mom and Dads Song. They Were the Best Parents In The Whole World,and I Miss You and Love You More Then Words Can Say !

This may be one of the best popular love songs ever and he may be one of the best musicians. Sometimes I watch "Hannah and Her Sisters" yet again just for that wonderful sound track!
You are correct. I don't remember how I got the wrong info for this song. When you click on Harry James under my video, it takes you to Helen Ward's bio. Blame YouTube!
Reminds me of Saturday mornings in the car as a kid with my mom, when she forced me to listen to WNEW (1130), the old AM standards/big band station in NYC (now defunct). It wasn't until I was older that I realized how much I love and appreciate the timeless beauty of this music. Go Harry!
Just brings tears to my eyes. I hated it when my mother listened to this kind of music on the radio station WNEW in NYC and made my siblings and I listen to it in the car! When you're a kid, you want nothing to do with it. But now, so many years later, I'm SO thankful she did. It's this kind of music that will stay with me forever. Bravo Harry!

Absolutely beautiful. Since I was a kid I have loved this music and always been a little odd for my age group (I'm 25) If this is "odd" for my age, bring it on cause this music beats anything they are making today!
@trumpsahead oh just shut up. I can't stand know-it-alls like you. "RMendez was great but dont know if he could improvise, which I think I will research." LOL you must feel so sophisticated abbreviating names and saying you'll do research. Mendez was a much different kind of musician than James, James much different from Brown, Brown much different from Sandoval. There are no facts involved, it's all opinion. And as for technical aspects, each one of them has strengths and weaknesses.
Well said generationII - Rap is nothing more than ridiculous noise performed by those devoid of talent for the edification of those devoid of good taste!!!
The BIG BAND ERA was a great one..so was the FOLK ERA and the British Invasion and ELVIS. You can take heavy metal and Rap and the like....it should not be considered music AMEN
The greatest trumpeter of the 20th Century.This is the 1st song Harry James song I ever remember hearing in asoociation with the 50th Ann of December 7th,1941
this is the original version, and one that can't be duplicated in both arrangement and quality, whether it's now or 1,000 years from now you have to put harry james at the very top of all time musicians
This Was My Mom and Dads song...many many moons ago." I Love You and Miss You More Than You Will Ever Know " One Day We Will All Be Together Again....Never To Part... Always, Patricia
This music never dies, one of the best songs that came out in the 1940's. Thanks for posting
