Famous ultra-easy listening "big band"started circa 1925 Royal Canadians who lasted from the twenties to the seventies when the leader died in 1977, then revived in the 1980s. Often and unsurprisingly, given the changing tastes over the century and plus, if remembered at all today, maligned as horrid by usually the clueless critics who don't know how much people needed a laid back mellow dance. Understandable opinion, though, since the band reflected as they called themselves, "The sweetest music this side of heaven" and should posthumously remain THE symbol New Year's Eve.Because of the uber-old-fashioned and "conservative" sound, rooted in their 1920s beginnings, they were often either overlooked or ignored and thus erased from post-1940s write-ups by many critics, thus still later largely forgotten by susbsquent generations, yet his "Royal Canadians" dance orchestra included many jazz stars.Guy died 11/05/77.PS UNLIKE Justin Bieber, another performer who is hopelessly corny and attacked, Guy Lombardo 1902-1977 had amazing talent & know how, even though supplanted in post-1940s eras.
