All of Amapola (Pretty Little Poppy) / Donna MariaJimmy Dorsey
Jimmy Dorsey was born in 1904 in Shenandoah, Pennsylvania, and grew up playing alongside his brother Tommy before becoming one of the leading figures of the swing era. He was a highly skilled alto saxophonist and clarinetist who fronted his own big band from the mid-1930s onward, recording on Decca and scoring a string of hits in the early 1940s. His orchestra mixed danceable swing arrangements with vocal performances, making him a consistent presence on the pop charts of that decade.
