That last sentence

is non-factual, speculative and unnecessary. Out of place, in other words. Godingo 18:35, 12 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

RE:Harry James "recording" of "It's The Dreamer In Me"

I'm deleting this sentence because Harry James didn't have a band in 1938. "According to the tsort.info database (http://tsort.info/music/wjc1ce.htm), the Harry James recording of "It's the Dreamer in Me" reached no. 9 in 1938 on Billboard, staying on the charts for 3 weeks." I propose it be added back if someone can prove Harry James had a band that year and a hit with that song.70.125.135.72 (talk) 21:28, 7 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Cause of Death (Type of Cancer)

This article mentions that he died of throat cancer. The mention of Jimmy on Tommy Dorsey's page and on the Dorsey Brothers page says it was lung cancer. A general search of the internet turns up both. I don't feel qualified to determine which source should be used for a citation, but all three pages should be consistent.
