He was a close associate of President Franklin D. Roosevelt and often played at the White House. This 48-track 2-CD collection comprises selected releases on the Victor, Associated, Brunswick and Decca labels from this era, featuring the various incarnations of his orchestra. It includes all his career hits including the Top 10 entries "My Silent Love", "Sing, Baby, Sing" and "Please Come Out Of Your Dream", plus "On Your Toes" and "So Ashamed".
