In the 1930s & 40s, America was awash with dance bands, all vying to make a decent living in difficult times.

All the top bands had one or more great vocalists and some were led by superlative musicians like Benny Goodman, Artie Shaw, Harry James, Gene Krupa, Vaughn Monroe made his singing the attraction, Guy Lombardo went for snappy, happy arrangements, Jimmy Lunceford and Cab Calloway were great showmen, Kay Kyser and his musical quizzes, Glenn Miller eventually topped them all with sheer all-round quality, arrangement, musicians and vocalist.
