About Me:

The swing era was during the 1930s & 1940s, so that's the time that all these reccomendations come from. These are some of the biggest hit Original Recordings that defined the style of swing music in that era, with youtube links:

TOMMY DORSEY: My personal favorite bandleader alongside Duke Ellington, and a great representative of the entire Big Band Era, especially the first two songs listed:
"Opus No. One" http://www.youtube.com/watc...
"On The Sunny Side Of The Street" http://www.youtube.com/watc...
"I'm Getting Sentimental Over You" http://www.youtube.com/watc...
"Boogie Woogie" http://www.youtube.com/watc...
"Marie" http://www.youtube.com/watc...
"Star Dust" (vocal Frank Sinatra) http://www.youtube.com/watc...
