Francis Craig And His Orchestra - Too Much Sugar For A Dime SOS Baby
Review by TULUS JAYA
Too Much Sugar For A Dime SOS Baby is a classic album by Francis Craig and His Orchestra. Released in the 1950s, it is a delightful collection of swing and jazz tunes that are sure to get your feet tapping and your heart racing.
The album opens with the title track, "Too Much Sugar For A Dime," which is a lively and upbeat number that sets the tone for the rest of the album. The horns and percussion are crisp and clear, and the rhythm section keeps things moving along nicely.
Other standout tracks on the album include "SOS Baby," "Sweetheart of Sigma Chi," and "Near You." Each of these songs showcases the talents of the musicians in the band, and Francis Craig's arrangements are top-notch.

About Francis Craig And His Orchestra
Craigs orchestras always had outstanding performers. Many became stars. Vocalists included Irene Beasley, Phil Harris, Jimmy Melton, Kenny Sargent, Dinah Shore, Snooky Lanson, and Kitty Kallen. Among his noted musicians, some of whom formed their own bands, were Jimmy Gallagher, Clint Garvin, John Gordy, and Red McEwen.
Craigs career was important for many reasons. His ensemble, formed at the beginning of the big-band era, was Nashvilles best society orchestra. They played on WSMs first broadcast. The maestros run at the Hermitage Hotel may have been the longest ever for a hotel orchestra. Near You was an extraordinarily popular hit that was a catalyst in the development of Nashvilles music business. Francis Craig ceased performing in the early 1950s and died November 19, 1966.
