The discography of American trumpeter and band leader Harry James includes 30 studio albums, 47 EPs, three soundtrack/stage and screen albums, and numerous live albums and compilation albums, along with contributions as sideman and appearances with other musicians. [1] [2] James released over 200 singles during his career, with nine songs reaching number one, 32 in the top ten, and 70 in the top 100 on the U.S. pop charts, as well as seven charting on the U.S. R&B chart. [lower-alpha 1] [3] [4] [5] As of 2016, two recordings of Harry James had been inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame, a special Grammy award established in 1973 to honor recordings that are at least 25 years old, and that have "qualitative or historical significance". [6]

The list includes releases attributed to "Harry James and His Orchestra," "Harry James and His Big Band," "Harry James and The Boogie Woogie Trio," "Frank Sinatra and Harry James," "James and Forrest," "Kitty Kallen with Harry James," "Rosemary Clooney and Harry James," "Harry James and His Orchestra and Doris Day," "Harry James with Rhythm," "Harry James and His Music Makers," "Harry James and His Western Friends," "Harry James and Toni Harper," "The Harry James Octet," "Harry James and His New Jazz Band," "Harry James and the Quintet," "Members of The Harry James Orchestra," or simply "Harry James." As of the initial release on Wikipedia, this discography only includes vinyl/shellac releases in the United States.

Notes
  1. At the time of James's charts, Billboard magazine referred to the R&B chart as "The Harlem Hit Parade".

As leader

Singles

Dates shown in the Singles tables below are recording dates. Singles are grouped into tables according to the release year. Some singles were not immediately released or were re-issued, so the year of the recording date may not match the year of release. This is especially evident during the 1942–1944 musicians' strike, which started on July 31, 1942, and lasted through November 11, 1944, for the Columbia label. Striking musicians were prohibited from recording in the studio during this time, so the record labels released unissued recordings from their stockpiles, or they re-issued recordings from previous years. A second musicians' strike lasted from January 1, 1948, through December 1948. [7]

U.S. peak chart positions are from Joel Whitburn's Pop Memories 1890–1954: The History of American Popular Music. [3] Chart dates shown are from the same source and are the date the song first charted. R&B chart positions are from MusicVF.com and Barry Kowal's HitsOfAllDecades.com. [4] [5] At the time of James's charts, Billboard magazine referred to the R&B chart as "The Harlem Hit Parade".

Notes
  1. For the songs on Columbia's Hollywood's Best, 78discography.com also shows 78/45 rpm releases of these songs on catalog numbers 39852, 39853, 39854, and 39855; however, Manfred Thönicke’s Collector’s Guide to the Works of Ray Connif indicates these releases were cancelled. [46]
  2. 1 2 After moving to Capitol Records, James recorded new studio versions of many of his previously released songs from Columbia on Capitol's Harry James in Hi-Fi and More Harry James in Hi-Fi.
  3. James recorded new studio versions of previously released songs on London's The Golden Trumpet of Harry James in what the liner notes call "Phase 4 Stereo."
  4. The Sheffield Lab recordings are direct-to-disc, meaning the recording process bypasses the use of magnetic tape and records the audio directly onto the analog disc masters.
  5. From 1969 to 1971, James recorded for Reader's Digest new studio versions of his previously released songs. [48]

Notes
  1. 1 2 3 4 Per the liner notes, Charlie Barnet produced these Crown "Charlie Barnet Presents" albums (re-issued by Bright Orange), though he did not play on them. Crown used the musicians from The Harry James Orchestra to create new stereophonic recordings of Harry James's previous releases. Harry James is not listed as a participating musician on the credits, and some of these records credit Maxwell Davis as arranger/conductor. Davis was musical director for Modern/RPM/Crown/Kent Records.

It was subsequently sung by Jack Oakie in the 1944 film The Merry Monahans and was again featured in the 1945 film The Dolly Sisters, where it was sung by John Payne. It was also included for part of the run of the 1973 revival of Irene. Additionally, the pre-chorus would not have been included until later covers in the 1940s, where the song would gain it's iconic libretti.

Date and time notation in Canada combines conventions from the United Kingdom, conventions from the United States, and conventions from France, often creating confusion. The Government of Canada specifies the ISO 8601 format for all-numeric dates. It recommends writing the time using the 24-hour clock (04:44) for maximum clarity in both Canadian English and Canadian French, but also allows the 12-hour clock (4:44 a.m.) in English.

ISO 8601 has been adopted as BIS IS 7900:2001.

"Make Love to Me" is a 1954 popular song with words and music written by a larger team than normally is known to collaborate on a song: Bill Norvas, Alan Copeland, and the New Orleans Rhythm Kings, comprising Leon Rappolo, Paul Mares, Ben Pollack, George Brunies, Mel Stitzel, and Walter Melrose. The melody was derived from a 1923 song, "Tin Roof Blues", composed by the New Orleans Rhythm Kings.
