Gaetano Alberto „Guy" Lombardo (* 19. Juni 1902 in London, Ontario; † 5. November 1977) war ein kanadisch-US-amerikanischer Big-Band-Leader und Violinist.
Guy Lombardo gründete eine Tanzband, die sich ab 1924 „The Royal Canadians" nannte. Mit dabei waren seine Brüder, der Saxophonist Carmen Lombardo (1903-1971), der auch Musik für die Band schrieb und sang, dem Saxophonisten Victor Lombardo (1911-1994) und dem Trompeter Lebert Lombardo (1905-1993). Ihre erste Aufnahme machten sie für Gennett 1924 und sie verkauften schon in den 1920ern mit ihrer eingängigen Tanzmusik hunderttausende Platten (selbst Louis Armstrong gehörte zu ihren Fans) - ihr Motto war „The Sweetest Music this side of Heaven".

The Revelers were an American quintet (four close harmony singers and a pianist) popular in the late 1920s and early 1930s. The Revelers' recordings of "Dinah," "Old Man River", "Valencia," "Baby Face," "Blue Room," "Birth of the Blues," "When Yuba Plays the Rumba on the Tuba," and many more, became popular in the United States and then Europe in the late 1920s.
All of the members had recorded individually or in various combinations, and formed a group in 1925. The original Revelers were tenors Franklyn Baur and Lewis James, baritone Elliot Shaw, bass Wilfred Glenn, and pianist Ed Smalle. Smalle was replaced by Frank Black in 1926. The group (with Black at the piano) appeared in a short movie musical, The Revelers (1927), filmed in the sound-on-disc Vitaphone process. This one-reel short film, recently restored by "The Vitaphone Project," shows the group performing "Mine," "Dinah," and "No Foolin'." A second short, filmed the same day with another three songs, awaits restoration.
Baur was replaced by Frank Luther and then James Melton (later a Metropolitan Opera tenor).The Revelers were stars on radio and in vaudeville, as well as in the recording studio. On radio they were regulars on The Palmolive Hour (1927-31). Ring Lardner observed, "Under any name, they sound as sweet." Lardner outlined his "perfect radio program" for The New Yorker magazine, and found a place for The Revelers along with Paul Whiteman and Fanny Brice.
The German group The Comedian Harmonists formed in 1927 after hearing some records of The Revelers.

Although largely forgotten today, Lou Gold was a very popular orchestra leader during the 1920s. He was born Lewis Milton Goldwasser in 1894, and mainly active in the New York area during the 1920s and 1930s as a composer, pianist and orchestra leader.
His orchestra made several recordings both with his own name and with different pseudonyms, depending on what label the recordings were made for.
He died in 1950 and during his life he worked with artists like Benny Goodman, Tommy Dorsey, Abe Lyman and many others.

A cute tribute to Marilyn with her singing her trademark tune, "Diamonds Are A Girl's Best Friend". I used clips from "Niagara (1953), "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes (1953) and "The Seven-Year Itch" (1955). I know this song has been used on youtube several times, but I think it shows Marilyn's playful and fun-loving side. I hope you agree!
