==Number-one hits==
Tommy Dorsey had a run of 286 ''[[Billboard (magazine)|Billboard]]'' chart hits.<ref>Levinson 308.</ref> The Dorsey band had seventeen number-one hits with his orchestra in the 1930s and 1940s including: "On Treasure Island", "The Music Goes 'Round and Around", "You", "Marie" (written by [[Irving Berlin]]), "Satan Takes a Holiday", "The Big Apple", "Once in a While", "The Dipsy Doodle", "Our Love", "All the Things You Are", "Indian Summer", and "Dolores". He had two more number one hits in 1935 when he was a member of the Dorsey Brothers Orchestra: "Lullaby of Broadway" (written by [[Harry Warren]]), number one for two weeks, and "Chasing Shadows", number one for three weeks. His biggest hit was "I'll Never Smile Again", featuring Frank Sinatra on vocals, which was number one for twelve weeks on the Billboard pop singles chart in 1940. "RCA Victor ... scored with 'There Are Such Things', which had a Sinatra vocal; it hit number one in January 1943, as did 'In the Blue of the Evening', another Dorsey record featuring Sinatra, in August, while a third Dorsey/Sinatra release, 'It's Always You,' hit the Top Five later in the year, and a fourth, 'I'll Be Seeing You', reached the Top Ten in 1944."<ref>''Billboard'' pop singles chart in 1943</ref> It should be added that these 1943 and 1944 Sinatra hits were older recordings reissued because the [[1942–44 musicians' strike]] prevented Sinatra, now a popular singer, from recording new material. The website "Tommy Dorsey A Songwriter's Friend" says, "the orchestra had over 200 top twenty recordings including the No.&nbsp;1 hits 'The Music Goes Round and Round' (1935), 'Alone' (1936) 'You' (1936), '[[Marie (1929 song)|Marie]]' (1937), 'Satan Takes a Holiday' (1937), 'The Big Apple' (1937), 'Once in a While' (1937), 'The Dipsy Doodle' (1937), 'Music, Maestro, Please' (1938), 'Our Love' (1939), 'Indian Summer' (1939), 'All the Things You Are' (1939), 'I'll Never Smile Again' (1940), 'Dolores' (1941), 'There are Such Things' (1942), and 'In the Blue of the Evening' (1943)."<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.songwritershalloffame.org/artists/C4006|title=Songwriters Hall of Fame - Artists - Tommy Dorsey|date=April 2, 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160402210548/http://www.songwritershalloffame.org/artists/C4006|archive-date=April 2, 2016}}</ref>
