He worked with many bands in the New York City area starting in the 1920s, including the bands of Rudy Vallee, Vincent Lopez, and Paul Whiteman.

On Treasure Island Lyrics
Tommy Dorsey
ON TREASURE ISLAND
Tommy Dorsey
I sailed away to Treasure Island
And my heart stood still
When I landed on the silvery shore
We met that day on Treasure Island
And the smile you gave
Was the treasure I'd been craving for.
Then came those moments of bliss
In the shade of the sheltering palms,
I still remember your kiss
As you nestled within my arms,
I looked for gold on Treasure Island
And I found that gold
When you gave your golden love to me.
