Ray Anthony
Active Decades: '40s, '50s, '60s, '70s, '80s, '90s and '00s
Born: Jan 20, 1922 in Bentleyville, PA
Genre: Jazz
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.
