Sammy Kaye (born Samuel Zarnocay Jr.; March 13, 1910 – June 2, 1987) was an American bandleader and songwriter,[1] whose tag line, "Swing and Sway with Sammy Kaye", became one of the most famous of the Big Band Era.[1] The expression springs from his first hit single in 1937, "Swing and Sway" (U.S. no. 15). He was the first to record and release the standard "Blueberry Hill" in 1940. During World War II, he co-wrote and recorded the anthemic "Remember Pearl Harbor" (U.S. No. 3). He was the first to record and release the no. 1 song "Daddy" in 1941.[2] His signature tune was "Harbor Lights", a number-one hit in 1950.
