5.0 out of 5 stars
Delightful and Informative "a must for the Swing Era lover", June 7, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Tommy and Jimmy: The Dorsey Years (Da Capo Paperback) (Paperback)
This book, written mostly by Herb Sanford, was extremely informative and easily filled in some blanks in my knowledge of the Brothers Dorsey. Their trials and tribulations as Stars of Radio and Movies, and most famously, the Big Band Stage, also touched on their roles as Family Men, and personalities which lead them down the paths they took. Mac and Lad, pet-names for each other, were as close as two brothers could be, even though they always had distant opinions on the same subject. As a relative to these two cornerstones of Big Band and Jazz, I am especially glad to feel I was able to participate in the enjoyment of their lives and music by reading this book. Even though they have passed on, I know their souls are within these pages.
