Background notes
Archive material and source history
Vaughn Monroe started playing trumpet in the 1930s, first with the Glen Gray Orchestra and then with Tommy Dorsey's band in 1939. He formed his own big band in 1940, mixing swing, pop, and ballads. Songs like 'Riders In The Sky' and 'Ballerina' came from that period.
During World War II, his recording of 'Hip Hip Hooray' became popular with American soldiers. The song's wartime association brought some criticism, but it also made Monroe a familiar voice on the home front. He kept recording after the war, with tracks like 'Black Denim' and 'Don't Fence Me In' appearing in his catalog.
His orchestra included musicians like trumpeter Billy Butterfield and saxophonist Charlie Ventura at different times. Monroe's style leaned toward straightforward big-band arrangements with clear vocals, heard on songs such as 'Seems Like Old Times' and 'Every Day I Love You'.
