Ray Anthony

Ray Anthony played two years with Glenn Miller and ten with Jimmy Dorsey before forming his own band. Anthony led a group in the Pacific during World War II, then had a highly popular dance band. He probably has as much fame, if not more, as the writer of the theme for Dragnet, the novelty tune "The Bunny Hop," and the hit single "Dancing in the Dark." He also had plenty of film and TV work in the '50s, including an appearance in the film Daddy Long Legs. ~ Ron Wynn, Rovi

thanks Pandora, on of the most enjoyable apps on the net
Love this music. My wife and I love to dance to the Big Band Sound. Her two favorites are In The Mood and Stardust. We sit on our back porch, enjoying the view and listening to Pandora on my laptop. What a neat thing to do.
Listening to his music makes me feel like a young U. S. Marine again.
We, need more music like this in our day to day work to feel more lively. C.J.D
@geeboggs -- amen!
I think the greatest thing about this music is that it was created with real instruments; not like the digitized popular music of today. Gee Boggs, Sonoma, CA
I am 17 years old and love this type of music I only wish more kids my age knew about this type of music
I am 42 years young (lol) both sets of my grandparents played big band music for me and all my brothers. This music puts you in a relaxed and romatic mood and puts a smile on your face no matter how bad your day went you are taken to a better place, thanks Pandora and all the great musicians who will not be forgotten !
it brings us back to great times!
Thanks Pandora Radio for playing MYKIND OF MUSIC just this side of heaven
Magnificent.
It's just dreamy that we can have music like this at our fingertips -- all the beautiful music stations (if you can find them) feel that Harry Connick Jr. is the signature artist. Ray Anthony is a living treasure. Burt Kaempfert is another that will just make you smile and feel like you're in Palm Springs/Palm Beach -- anywhere life is as we remember it and I'm only 60!
hansel28
yes he is alive
is he still alive
Your music reminds me of the good ole days at Hatfield's Lake and the Country Club.
SAXMAN from Mansfield, OH - Soooo many memories of Ray's wonderful band when they came to Rainbow Gardens in Fremont, OH and I had the most beautiful gal (Barbara) in the place. Should have married her!!!

use to dance to Ray Anthony & his band at the moonlight ballroom in Canton Ohio 1949-1950.
Just an old DJ who loves this kind of music. Oh, the on-air memories. Thanks.
sheepdog88
Oh, the memories. Thank you.
I came from Dominican Republic and this is the kind of music I like, I love it.

What a shame we don't have more music like this produced today
Ah yes maznpaz, I remember those good times well.
remember the good times. dancing close and holding the girl. jay p
Nostalgia... b i g time!
just beautiful quiet music. nothing wrong with that.
As a kid (25), on behalf of my generation I'd just like to assure you all that some of us do think swing/big band is awesome!
Some of the most beautiful music in the world.

My wife and I grew up with Ray Anthony's music. What he could do with a trumpet and baton. Todays youth don't know what music is. Thanks Pandora
Sweeter sound than Harry James but Not as powerful
NinaWolf
A smooth musician and a look-alike for Cary Grant.
Brings back alot of memories
Oh man, go. Jump
Ray Anthony did NOT write the theme from Dragnet. Walter Schumann did. Anthony had a hit record with Dragnet, but is not the composer.
like walking in the clowds
alex_portill a
awesomeness
Sublime.
Romantic.
What a special artist-I love his timing and wonderful sound. He is truly one of the best! Keep up your excellent programing. Ray C. Weidner
Smooth as silk!
too drowsy and melancholic for my present mood - give me GM's Kalamazoo
Mom passed away a few years back, and this is all dad listens to. Now I've got it on all the time. Even the 12-year-old likes it (though she wont say so).
I wish my kids would know this wonderful music and learn to enjoy it!
My dad played in a dance band for years and this takes me back to wonderful, wonderful times.
forgot what great music was,,
oleduke2000
With his great trumpet playing is was inevitable that he would start and front his own band. Great chops. Duke a drummer,
Ray Anthony is a staple in "Big Band" music. My Dad was a WW2 vet, as all my Uncles. These guys Knew how to fight, and ROCK!
Ray was a brilliant trumpet player but I and a lot of others who knew him would kid him and tell him if he didn't look like Cary Grant he never would have attracted an audience.He laughed and usually went into a good impression.W h a t I am pleased with is Pandora's ability to cater to us older curmudgeons without interfering with the younger crowd's dissonant sounds.
MRBOB SAYS THANK YOU PANDORA FOR TAKING ME BACK TO THE BEST MUSIC EVER PUT OUT.
THE FIFTIES WAS A GOLD MINE OF NOT ONLT LISTENING BUT DANCING ALSO. AT LEAST WE LEARNED THE WORDS TO THE SONGS BUT REMEMBER THEM TODAY A HALF CENTURY LATER
ray anthony is the greatest! He has such a command of each song he plays--a wonderful touch.
CHRIS BOTTI REMINDS ME OF RAY ANTHONY
i love them all
