Biography

In the annals of pop music, you'd think there would be a mighty cushy spot for a performer that scored 11 No. 1 records and 35 Top 10 hits... had a top-rated radio show for 11 years on NBC... starred in seven feature films... and outdrew the Glenn Miller and Benny Goodman orchestras frequently in live appearances.

Born June 18th,1905, James Kern Kyser in Rocky Mount, N.C. to P.B. and Emily Kyser.… Read more in Amazon's Kay Kyser Store

5.0 out of 5 stars The Ol' Perfessor gets an A+, August 27, 2004
By 
Katy Didd (Sanford, Michigan United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Best of Big Bands (Audio CD)
Every track is a winner on this Kyser compilation. Some may quibble over the omission of some Kyser favorites ("Thinking of You, "Three Little Fishes," "Playmates"), but for the most part the music is highly enjoyable and sure to put a smile on your face, as Kyser's music was intended to do. The liner notes are well-written and the fidelity is outstanding. A good introduction to the Kay Kyser Orchestra for those who are new to his music.

3.0 out of 5 stars Very nice, but not the best, April 18, 2005
By 
S. Beasley (Northridge, Ca.) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Best of Big Bands (Audio CD)
This collection was one of, if not the first 'Best of' Kay Kyser CDs, so for that reason i give it a good score. There are dozens of songs equal or better from Kay, Ginny, Harry, Sully Ish, Georgia and Mike Douglas. I certainly wouldn't consider the inclusion of THAT'S FOR ME, BELL BOTTOM TROUSERS or HUGGIN' AND CHALKIN'as representing their best work, nor their most popular. I notice they don't include some of their biggest hits, such as 3 LITTLE FISHES or PLAYMATES or PUSHIN' SAND, but I guess when you had 35 top tens one must leave something out! If one is just being introduced to this great band of great people (I know, I've met many of them over the years)this collection serves its purpose. Try A STRICT EDUCATION IN MUSIC. It's 50 Kyser songs for about the same price!
