Sister Rosetta Tharpe with Lucky Millinder & his Orchestra (which at the time included the great Bill Doggett on piano and drummer 'Panama' Francis).
Lucky discovered the established gospel singer and guitarist Rosetta Tharpe, and they performed together for many years, and first recorded together on four cuts for Decca Records in 1938.
Lucky established a residency at New York's Savoy Ballroom, and won a contract with Decca. Dizzy Gillespie was the band's trumpeter for a while and was featured on Millinder's first charting hit, "When the Lights Go On Again (All Over the World)", which reached number 1 on the US Billboard R&B chart and number 14 on the pop chart in 1942. The follow-up records "Apollo Jump" and "Sweet Slumber" were also big hits, with vocals by Trevor Bacon.
