There's a woeful shortage of Tommy Dorsey Orchestra videos on Youtube. Okay, okay, I know not a lot of people are fans of the big band sound these days. Because youtube is an amazing treasure trove for the obscure and sadly missed genres, I'm hoping this will be rectified soon.
Same goes for Tommy's brother, Jimmy Dorsey, and his outfit. I'm more familiar with the Jimmy Dorsey Orchestra, which to me means the lovely Helen O'Connell and her gorgeous, jaw-dropping voice. While my favourite tune from her and the crew isn't up (Star Eyes, if anyone is keeping score), Rubber Dolly does a fair cop in introducing her style. I dare you not to grin when the song ends.
