Tommy Dorsey

Thomas Francis "Tommy" Dorsey, Jr. (November 19, 1905 - November 26, 1956) was an American jazz trombonist, trumpeter, composer, and bandleader of the Big Band era. He was known as "The Sentimental Gentleman of Swing", due to his smooth-toned trombone playing. Although he was not known for being a notable soloist, his technicality with the trombone gave him renown amongst other musicians. He was vastly admired by other musicians, however, for his technical skill on his instrument. He was the younger brother of bandleader Jimmy Dorsey. After Dorsey broke with his brother in the mid-1930s, he led an extremely popular and highly successful band from the late 1930s into the 1950s. more »

Savoy, the home of sweet romance
Savoy, it wins you with a glance
Savoy, gives happy feet a chance to dance

Your old form just like a clinging vine
Your lips so warm and sweet as wine
Your cheek so soft and close to mine, divine

How my heart is singing
While the band is swinging
I'm never tired of romping

And stomping with you at the Savoy
What joy a perfect holiday
Savoy, where we can glide and sway
Savoy, let me stomp away with you

The home of sweet romance
It wins you at a glance
Gives happy feet a chance to dance

Just like a clinging vine
So soft and sweet as wine
So soft and close to mine, divine

How my heart is singing
While the band is swinging
I'm never, never, never tired of romping

And stomping with you at the Savoy
What joy a perfect holiday
Savoy, where we can glide and sway
Savoy, let me stomp away with you
