Vtng Photo-DICK JURGEN'S And His Orchestra
Big Time Bands of the 1930s and 1940s era were so popular. These bands would travel from state to state to preform to their growing audiences.
Up for your consideration is a vintage postcard with Bandleader Dick Jurgens. He was a prominent figure in the sweet style of swing music, achieving his greatest popularity in the late '30s and early '40s. He was credited with co-writing several hit songs, among them "Careless," "Elmer's Tune," and "One Dozen Roses." The son of Dietrich Heinrich Jurgens and the former Clara Matilda Erath, Jurgens showed an early interest in music, studying with Henry E. Marvin, Robert Fenton, and Harry Wills. He was dismissed from his high school orchestra for playing popular music and jazz, but that only encouraged him to organize his own dance orchestra, which he first did in 1928 while still in high school. In 1933, he graduated from Sacramento Junior College and immediately turned to bandleading full-time, earning his first important engagement at the St. Francis Hotel in San Francisco. He was signed to newly formed Decca Records and had his first recording session on October 22, 1934. Singer Eddy Howard, who would be an important part of Jurgens' band during his 1934-40 tenure with it, first recorded with him on the 1935 Decca single "The Martinique."From the mid-'30s to the early '40s, the Jurgens band played extended residences at such venues as the Casino Ballroom on Catalina Island in southern California, the Elitch Gardens in Denver, and the Aragon and Trianon ballrooms in Chicago, all bastions of sweet swing music. By 1938, Jurgens was recording for the Vocalion label, and in 1939 he began to make some impact as a record seller, first getting into the rankings on the Your Hit Parade radio show that October with "It's a Hundred to One You're in Love With Me" Arguably, Jurgens was at the peak of his career in mid-1942. Just then, the recording ban by the American Federation of Musicians prevented him from making further recordings, and at the same time, he disbanded and joined the U.S. Marine Corps to participate in World War II. He remained with the service through the end of the war in 1945, serving as musical director for Marine shows. He reorganized his band in 1946 and went back to work, albeit in a musical climate that was less conducive to his kind of musical approach. Nevertheless, he continued recording for Columbia through the early 1950s, later switching to Mercury. From July to September 1948, he had a half-hour weekly radio berth on CBS, the Summer Spotlight Revue. He married Miriam Davidson on December 6, 1948.As the popularity of swing diminished, he continued leading his band until 1956, when he gave it up and started an electronics business in Colorado Springs, CO with his brother.By the late '60s he had reformed his band, and he played with it part-time until 1976, even making some new recordings in the early '70s. Then he left the music business again, returning home to Sacramento, where he got into real estate. In 1986, he sold the rights to his band's name to singer Don Ring. He died of cancer at 85.

Big Time Bands of the 1930s and 1940s era were so popular. These bands would travel from state to state to preform to their growing audiences. The band was known to play at Ocean Park and Casino Gardens, California.
Up for your consideration is what I believe, to be a family/friends vintage photograph with the famous band leader ~ RAY PEARL. RAY PEARL AND HIS ORCHESTRA. In this photograph you can see young Ray Pearl on the far right,
quite possibly he is standing with his family, his mother and father,brother? The truck the orchestra used with the famous RAY PEARL SWING ORCHESTRA advertisement on the sides.
Measures 5 inches wide x 3-1/2 inches high. Is in GREAT CONDITION, Has been lovingly stored away in a scrapbook album. (We have obtained an old album from Pittsburg, PA, that appears to have many references to the old time big swing bands of the '30s and '40s. Not certain if the photos were of relatives/and or friends but it is apparent that the various bands were friends and stayed in contact with each other. Sammy Kaye, Billy Richards, Don Pablo, Dick Jurgens.) Please be watching for more classic photographs from this collection.

DON PABLO AND ORCHESTRA PC Used/Sent by Don
Big Time Bands of the 1930s and 1940s era were so popular. These bands would travel from state to state to preform to their growing audiences. The band was known to play at Ocean Park and Casino Gardens, California.
Up for your consideration is what I believe, to be a RPPC of DON PABLO AND ORCHESTRA that was postally used, sent and signed by DON PABLO himself. In this photograph you can see young DON PABLO on the far right standing with his band members.
Measures 5 inches wide x 3-1/2 inches high. Is in GREAT CONDITION, Has been lovingly stored away in a scrapbook album. On the back has the cancelled one cent stamp mailed to Pittsburg, PA. There is a partially adhered black page still attached from the black page album, can be steamed off but I did not want to attempt it. Appears that this postcard was sent to a Casino, quite possibly one that Don Pablo just finished performing, for it expresses an appreciation for their stay and signed Sincerely Don Pablo.
