Guy Lombardo and His Royal Canadians. Dance band formed in London, Ont, named in Cleveland in 1923, and known for "the sweetest music this side of Heaven".
Guy (Gaetano Alberto) Lombardo - Jun.19,1902 - Nov.5,1977; honorary D MUS (Western Ontario) 1971 - was its leader from its inception, ca 1917 as the Lombardo Brothers' Orchestra and Concert Company, until his death. The 'orchestra' was a quartet: Guy (violinist), his brothers Carmen (flutist, saxophonist, singer; see previous entry) and Lebert (drummer, trumpeter, b London, Ont, 1904), and Freddie Kreitzer (pianist).
The 'company' included, variously, the Lombardos' sister Elaine (soprano) and father, Gaetano (baritone, b Lipari, Italy, ca 1873, d Stamford, Conn, Oct.6,1954), and occasionally a Scottish comedian and dancers.
