Page "Tommy Dorsey" Paragraph 11

Tommy Dorsey disbanded his own orchestra at the end of 1946.

Dorsey might have broken up his own band permanently following World War II, as many big bands did due to the shift in music economics following the war, but Tommy Dorsey's album for RCA, " All Time Hits " placed in the top ten records in February, 1947.

In addition, " How Are Things In Glocca Morra?

" a single recorded by Dorsey became a top ten hit in March, 1947.

Both of these successes made it possible for Dorsey to re-organize a big band in early 1947.

The Dorsey brothers were also reconciling.

The biographical film of 1947, The Fabulous Dorseys describes sketchy details of how the brothers got their start from-the-bottom-up into the jazz era of one-nighters, the early days of radio in its infancy stages, and the onward march when both brothers ended up with Paul Whiteman before 1935 when The Dorsey Brothers ' Orchestra split into two.

In the early 1950s, Tommy Dorsey moved from RCA Victor back to the Decca record label.
