Tommy Dorsey
HIDDEN ERROR: Usage of "Religion" is not recognized
Thomas Francis "Tommy" Dorsey, Jr. (November 19, 1905 – November 26, 1956) was an American jazz trombonist, trumpeter, composer, and bandleader of the Big Band era. He was known as the "Sentimental Gentleman of Swing", because of his smooth-toned trombone playing. Although he was not known for being a notable soloist, his technical skill on the trombone gave him renown amongst other musicians. He was the younger brother of bandleader Jimmy Dorsey. After Dorsey broke with his brother in the mid-1930s, he led an extremely popular and highly successful band from the late 1930s into the 1950s. He is best remembered for standards such as "Song of India", "Marie", "On Treasure Island", "The Music Goes 'Round and Around", and "You".
Early life
Thomas Francis Dorsey, Jr., was born in Mahanoy Plane, Pennsylvania, the second of four children born to Thomas Francis Dorsey, Sr., a bandleader himself, and Theresa (née Langton) Dorsey. He and Jimmy, his older brother by slightly less than two years, would become famous as the "Dorsey Brothers". The two younger siblings were Mary and Edward (who died young). Tommy Dorsey initially studied the trumpet with his father, only to later switch to the trombone.

Don't Ever Change
by: Tommy DorseyDON'T EVER CHANGE
Tommy Dorsey
Don't ever change,
Just stay the way you are tonight
You're just exactly right, sweetheart
Don't ever change,
Let's live and love and go along,
Let's keep ou5r lives a song, sweetheart.
Oh, I would rather see the ocean
Change its motion, and cease to flow
I'd rather see the showers change
The flowers, so they won't grow;
Don't ever change in anything you say or do
Just be the same sweet you, sweetheart
