Bill became pianist-arranger for The Ink Spots and remained until 1944, during which time he arranged many of their long to be remembered hit records. Most of Bill's friends, personal and professional, invariably inquire as to why a person who was enjoying so much success as a pianist would suddenly switch to the Hammond organ. To explain this we must go back to the year 1947. Bill had flown from New York to Los Angeles, California to be the chief arranger for the Lionel Hampton Orchestra The Hampton band had just been playing one night stands in the Frisco-Oakland area and had just returned to Los Angeles to record. When Bill arrived in Los Angeles he was informed by a friend that Louie Jordan was looking for a pianist-arranger, and if he was interested to contact Jordan at Billy Berg's club where the band was doing an engagement. This Bill did. He and Louie had met several years before when they were both playing around Philadelphia, Bill's home town After a brief chat with Jordan, Bill was informed that the job was his. Little did he know that the young man he was replacing with the Jordan crew was to be the great influence in his musical career. For the first time Bill Doggett met Bill Davis who was leaving the band because he had an idea about the Hammond organ as an instrument of swing, and wanted to devote his time to experimenting with the idea. The two Bills struck up an immediate honest and sincere friendship. Several years passed before they met again. By then Bill Davis was the rage of the Hammond organ-the newest thing in the world of swingdom. To climax the whole thing, Jordan hired Davis to go on his tour of theater dates at three times the salary he was paying Doggett for arranging and as the pianist in the band. As Bill put it, "That was the bitter end.' One year later Bill left the Jordan outfit to study the Hammond organ. In August 1951 after studying vigorously, Bill had a phone call from Davis. It seemed Ella Fitzgerald had a recording engagement and wanted an organist. Davis was under contract to another company and couldn't record so he gave the date to Bill Doggett. This was his first time to play the organ outside the house, but luck and talent paid off. The first record that he made with Ella, "Smooth Sailing,"' was a big fat hit and an array of notices poured in on the background that was supplied by Bill Doggett. After that the going was pretty easy with Ella. Two more hits rolled off with "Rough Riding" and "Air Mail Special.' Bill's popularity soared and club owners sought his talents. Bill's first date was at the KC Tavern in Brooklyn. In June of 1952 Bill was prevailed upon to organize his own combo by his personal manager. Bill liked the idea, and on June 6th the Bill Doggett combo played their first date. Bill created quite a stir in the swing circles on his first engagement at New York's famous Baby Grand, and since that time he has annexed many, many honors. Ever since Bill first started making recordings in 1953 he and his group have been the recipients of numerous awards. Cashbox magazine recently presented him with the award for the number one small instrumental group in the nation for 1956. This makes the second year in a row for this award. It wasn't until Bill recorded "Honky Tonk" that his name became known to the average pop record buyer, This record soared to the top of the hit parade and stayed there. This album, then, is a collection of tunes made for dancing feet. Leading off with his great HONKY TONK, Bill and the boys run through a series of up tempo instrumentals in the style and sound that has made this group number one in the nation., I do not own the rights to this music.
