Lunceford began with a small high school band, developed it and brought five of its original nine members to fame with him. "He has developed a definitely individual style, mood and color," according to Duke Ellington, race brother of Lunceford. His versa tility at playing sweet, hot and smooth is excellent. Recordings helped fame. Recordings have helped bring Lunceford to fame. His recording of "White Heat" is especially well known. "Tain't What You Do" is also famous.
