Read Full Bio ↴Sammy Kaye (1910 — 1987) was a famous U.S. bandleader and songwriter.
He graduated from Rocky River High School in Rocky River, Ohio in 1927. He attended Ohio University in Athens, Ohio where he was a member of Theta Chi Fraternity. Kaye could play the saxophone and the clarinet, but he never featured himself as a soloist on either one.
A leader of one of the so-called "Sweet" bands of the Big Band era, he made a large number of records for Vocalion Records, RCA Victor, Columbia Records, and the American Decca record label. Kaye was known for an audience participation gimmick called "So You Want To Lead A Band?" where audience members would be called onto stage in an attempt to conduct the orchestra, with the possibility of winning batons. Kaye was also known for his use of "singing of song titles", which was emulated by Kay Kyser and Blue Barron.
Musicians included Ralph Flanagan, Dale Cornell and Marty Oscard. Singers included Don Cornell (not related to Dale Cornell), Billy Williams, and Nancy Norman.
He was posthumously inducted into the Big Band and Jazz Hall of Fame in 1992 and for his contribution
to the recording industry has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

Toodle-luma-luma
Toodle-luma-luma
Toodle-aye-ay
Any um-ber-rellas, any um-ber-rellas to mend today?
Bring your parasol
It may be small
It may be big
He repairs them all
With what you call a thingamajig
Pitter patter patter, pitter patter patter
Here comes the rain
Let it pitter patter, let it pitter patter
Don't mind the rain
He'll mend your umbrella
Then go on his way singing
Toodle-luma-luma-toodle-ay
Toodle-luma-luma-toodle-ay
Any um-ber-rellas to mend today
When there's a lull
And things are dull
I sharpen knives
For all the wives
In the neighborhood
And I'm very good
I'll darn a sock
I'll mend a clock
An apple cart
A broken heart
I mend anything
But he'd rather sing
Toodle-luma-luma
Toodle-luma-luma
Toodle-aye-ay
Any um-ber-rellas, any um-ber-rellas to mend today?
He'll patch up your troubles
Then go on his way singing
Toodle-luma-luma-toodle-ay
Toodle-luma-luma-toodle-ay
Any um-ber-rellas to mend today?

Every Christmas and Thanksgiving, my great grandfather and his brothers got together with their instruments and played songs like this all day long. I'm really missing those days.
