Gaetano Alberto „Guy" Lombardo (* 19. Juni 1902 in London, Ontario; † 5. November 1977) war ein kanadisch-US-amerikanischer Big-Band-Leader und Violinist.
Guy Lombardo gründete eine Tanzband, die sich ab 1924 „The Royal Canadians" nannte. Mit dabei waren seine Brüder, der Saxophonist Carmen Lombardo (1903-1971), der auch Musik für die Band schrieb und sang, dem Saxophonisten Victor Lombardo (1911-1994) und dem Trompeter Lebert Lombardo (1905-1993). Ihre erste Aufnahme machten sie für Gennett 1924 und sie verkauften schon in den 1920ern mit ihrer eingängigen Tanzmusik hunderttausende Platten (selbst Louis Armstrong gehörte zu ihren Fans) - ihr Motto war „The Sweetest Music this side of Heaven".

  • I love the intro in German. Can't read a lot, but love the German language.

  • I love this song Red Sails in the Sunset!

  • Thanks for this- The Lombardo band has long been a favourite- since I had my photo taken with Guy and Carmen, as an 18 year old on a date, years ago.

    The recordings from the 30's with Carmen as vocalist are the classics- made for dancing. Lombardo's arrangements were always simple, straightforward- you knew what the song was in the first bars, and Carmens perfect diction just fit the times and the great standard tunes of the day.

    This is a great recording- thanks so much.

  • Classic!

  • I love Guy Lombardo!! Didn't get to see him in a live performance, but after his death, his Orchestra came to Greenville, TN and I did get to see them. Music sounded the same, but HE was missing! What a loss!!

  • How very Agatha Christie!!

  • i love this song
