Guy Lombardo (b. London, Ontario, 1902, d. Houston, Texas, 1977) was the eldest of three brothers. His two brothers, Carmen (1903-1971) and Lebert (b.1904). They are best known as the Royal Canadians, but its rendition of Nobody's Sweetheart, recorded under the pseudonym "Louisiana Rhythm Kings", is outstanding. The hot clarinet work is only bettered by Lebert's trumpet playing which really drives the band whenever he "opens up". After a performance such as this it is amazing to think that this band could also play "the sweetest music this side of heaven" as it was described by the press at that time. Louis Armstrong stated that Lombardo was his favorite band. This very fine recording was made in 1929. The vocalist is Carmen Lombardo.
