I remember him talking about how between 1939 and 1940, or maybe 40 to 41, his personal income went from $6,000 to $600,000. That's what's called hitting it big.
Chiribiribim, baby!

Great trumpet player he first introduced Frank Sinatra to the world in 1939. Married Betty Grable. Next to Artie Shaw he is a real hero of mine.

Good stuff. I wish more people would learn to enjoy music with a melody and not just a beat. I get annoyed when I ask why somebody likes a song and they say "It has a good beat" So does my heart you asshat.
