That was a "classy" band. That is why "The Royal Canadians" band was a favorite until the end.
I became a "fan" when I was a kid. I was delighted to see and meet the Lombardo Orchestra when they played in Omaha, New York, Chicago and Los Angeles. and Iowa while working in those cities. Those were great years for good music- We all miss them and thanks so much for You Tube, we can "remember"
Guy Lombardo's orchestra was my mother's all time favorite. She said she danced to it in the 1930s and continued with the same beautiful sound well into the l950s. Always great danceable music. In fact, my beautiful mother taught me to dance and we danced to her Guy Lombardo records many times. Thank you for posting these GREAT SOUNDS OF THE EARLY 1930s. No other period had such pretty music to which you could always enjoy dancing. Tommy
@mvnkct I think Lombardo remains well loved because of memories such as yours and the fact that there are still many people still living that remember Lombardo from New Years Eve broadcasts, television, radio and recordings. Thanks for your nice comments!
@bsgs98 yes- the bands recordings I love the best were all during the Carmen vocal years- the 30's mostly and it helps that there were so many classic tunes. His perfect enunciation- on many recordings you can hear him take a breath - and his lead on sax was the bands signature. I wasn't born till the 40's but this band was my old Dad's favourite and I had the chance to dance to Guy in the 60's- can't remember the girl tho! With Guy you knew what the song was in the first 3 bars- classics.

No one did it better or with more class than the Lombardo's- Guy was the brains but Carmen's sweet sax was the heart!
