@user178424756: A beaten and fractured record of Tommy Dorsey’s “On the Sunny Side of the Street.” Song history Written: 1930 Composer: Jimmy McHugh Lyricist: Dorothy Fields Originally introduced: Broadway musical Lew Leslie's International Revue Genre: Jazz, swing, traditional pop Tommy Dorsey's interpretation: Features his characteristic smooth trombone style and polished orchestral sound. About the song "On the Sunny Side of the Street" became a jazz standard during the 1930s and 1940s. Its optimistic message, encouraging listeners to leave their worries behind, made it particularly popular during the Great Depression. Other celebrated interpretations include those by Louis Armstrong, Fats Waller, and Lester Young. Dorsey's orchestra brought a refined dance-band approach to the tune, combining the elegance of traditional big-band arrangements with the rhythmic vitality of swing. For 78 RPM collectors: Tommy Dorsey's recordings are especially interesting because his orchestra recorded for Victor and RCA Victor during the swing era.#tommydorsey #onthesunnysideofthestreet #swing #bigband #vinyl
