Not only was he in a number of bands (e.g. Ben Pollack's) he went on to form his own orchestra. In 1935 his band jump-started the Swing Music craze that was just beginning and took it to national popularity. Soon he was the number-one dance band leader in the US and was known as "The King of Swing".
