James Likes Baseball, But Will Play Horn Here
By Ralph Wilson
Harry James would trade his trumpet for a baseball glove.
He loves baseball and plays at local ball diamonds when on tour. He says that some day he will own his own professional ball club. He now is bidding for one of the Pacific Coast teams. His band doubles as a baseball team, and James has been known to ask a new musician what position he plays before asking him what instrument he plays.
James grew up in a circus. It was there he first learned to play the trumpet. He sat in with a circus band when he was eight years old. At the age of 10 years, he was playing trumpet solos.
At the age of 15 years, he began to play with local orchestras in Beaumont, Texas, where his family had retired from circus life.
After winning a statewide contest, James decided to try his luck in musical entertainment. He soon obtained engagements with local bands in Dallas and Galveston. It was here that Ben Pollack a drummer with a band, signed James to play. This was James' start to the top.
Wins State Contest
Benny Goodman, an ardent record fan, happened to hear James' trumpet on a Ben Pollack recording. Goodman investigated. He signed James. In 1939, after three years with Goodman, James decided to go out on his own. Goodman thought enough of his chances to back him with the money.
Sledding Was Tough
At the age of 23 years, then, James had his own band—Harry James and his Music Makers.
The sledding was tough at the start. The band had to take any kind of engagement so the members could stick together and eat. But its style was being perfected. In 1941, the band got its big break.
The backside was a hit. Soon every juke box in the country carried James' records.
James began to make recordings. One of them was a new tune called "A Sinner Kissed an Angel." Dick Haymes was the vocalist. For the backside, James picked an old number, "You Made Me Love You."
On July 5,1943,the number one trumpeteer married the number one pin-up girl-Betty Grable.
Once James caught on with the public, his popularity grew. From 1941 to 1943 he appeared at the PARAMount Theater in New York. In the spring of 1943, his popularity caused traffic jams and riots.
James Has Been In Movies
He has appeared in a number of movies. Some of them are:
The Jameses have a home in Beverly Hills, California and a ranch in the San Fernando Valley. James is planning his career so that he will have more time at home with his wife and two daughters.
"Do You You Me?"" co-starring Maureen O'Hara and Dick Haymes. "I'll Get By", "Springtime in the Rockies". "Best Foot Forward". "Two Girls and a Sailor", and "Bathing Beauty."
He was the technical adviser and played the trumpet parts in "Young Man with a Horn."
He has made television appearances on the "Shower of Stars," and has been a guest on many of the top shows. He is planning his own half-hour dramatic show.
