My folks loved Guy Lombardo and his band. And this song was the first one I ever taught myself to play by ear on my E-flat alto saxophone.

I always liked it when the dance bands had a recording bass - tuba. It really adds depth to the sound. Thanks for the post.

My dad just passed away February 24th and he loved this song. I remember him playing this on the piano all the time. Be at peace dad and I love you.

Cliff Grass, along with the great Kenny Gardner really gave the Royal Canadians unique and instantly recognizable vocals.

another great Cliff Grass vocal we all forgot to mention: "Oh look-a-there ain't she Pretty". (album "The Lively Guy")

Other great vocals by Cliff Grass I have found: "Anything Goes" and "I Got Rhythm". (from a Guy Lombardo six-record pack released by Readers' Digest several years ago).

@monteleone1010 Cliff was a fine singer.

another great vocal by Cliff Grass: "No More", recorded in the mid-50's. In this song, he formed a vocal duo with Bill Flanagan.

@Crockerish Yes, he passed away in 1993-1994. He was from Indiana. Besides making vocals with the GL band, he also played sax and clarinet with the band. He stayed with the band 30yers+.

I wonder what happened to Cliff,he had quite a different voice,he has to be gone?

Darktown Strutters Ball, Cliff Grass.I am wearing out this utube selection. Thank goodness the old TV shows are playing in Florida again and I managed to DVR some of Dad's solos. A lot of his dixieland numbers are there also, including one where Guy asks him about his clarinet and he says it belonged to Benny Goodman. Sad we don't have any video of "Do it", but I thought "Crazy" and "Norman" and others were done on some New Years Eve Show post 1960.

Anyone keeping track ....who from the band of the 1970's is still alive? There was one young kid who joined when he was only 17 - can't remember his name, only that he got carded going in to play a gig one night.

as I said elsewhere on YouTube, I'm sure that Cliff Grass has a strong influence on the light change in Lombardo's music from the late 50's on. From circa 1958, Lombardo albums are, in general, more swingy, more Jazz and Dixieland influenced and have more rhythm. The album "The Lively Guy", from which DST is taken, is one the best Lombardo albums ever (my opinion).
