On The Sunny Side of The Street - Tommy Dorsey

This song was recorded by many artists, but my favorite was Tommy Dorsey's rendition. This recording is done by Glen Gray's Band (I think), but is very similar to Tommy Dorsey's recording.

I don't know if I go back as far as you do....maybe farther? (lol)....but it also used to be the opening theme of Howard Miller's TV show in Chicago during the fifties. It's the opening bars that did it for me as a kid. Always got a kick out of that intro.

You go back about 51 years further than me, if we're talking age. Thanks for the comment.

Aside from it being Tommy's band, it features, I believe, the Clark Sisters. They apparently replaced the Pied Pipers when they left to go out on their own.

This is Tommy and his orchestra. My favorite version as well.

This recording's in stereo! Is this really Dorsey playing or his band? Tommy D. died in November 1956 in his sleep. Didn't know he recorded any stereo records! Incredible record! Sinatra adapted the arrangement (Heinie Beau in 1960--Billy May was credited on "Come Swing With Me")! Even Sinatra "borrowed"! Great record!

I like Tommy Dorsey's version of "On The Sunny Side of The Street" better than the other artists I've heard so far

I'm really going back, this used to be the theme song for the Al Russell show at a radio station in Fort Wayne, Ind. Anyone remember that?
