Timeline
Herbie Kay, born Herbert Powers Kaumeyer (November 5, 1904 – May 11, 1944, Dallas, Texas) was an American guitarist, trumpeter and big band leader.
Kay's career began while he was a student at Northwestern University, where he played in dance bands in the mid-1920s.
He led his own group from the late 1920s, and played extensively in the Chicago area from the early 1930s to the early 1940s, including a longstanding residency at the Blackhawk Restaurant.
Kay hired Dorothy Lamour as a vocalist in 1934, and married her in 1935; by 1936, Lamour had moved to Hollywood to pursue a film career, and her marriage to Kay ended in 1939.
He recorded for Vocalion and Columbia Records and toured throughout the Western US; his band’s songs included its theme, “Violets and Friends”, “Remember Last Night”, “Swing, Mister Charlie”, and a specially-written novelty dance tune, “Rhythm Steps”.
For most of his career, he led a band with four saxophones, four brass instruments, and four rhythm instruments.
Singers included Shirley Lloyd, Elvan “Fuzzy” Combs, King Harvey, and a vocal trio called “The Three Kays” (Combs, Harvey and Sam Chase).
Bud Dant was the band’s arranger.
Perhaps the best-known tune by Herbie Kay, by virtue of recent Internet exposure, is “Rhythm Steps”, recorded for the Columbia Records label on November 8, 1935.
The recording contains vocals by Shirley Lloyd and the Three Kays.
The arrangement is easily recognizable by its use of glissando in the brass section, exciting and innovative vocals, and the instrumental call-back during the final performance of the chorus.
Its lyrics contain references to “putting the world on its feet”, has humorous interjections and ends with the phrase, “Simple as the day is long!”.
Originally intended for release on the Vocalion label, it was switched over to Columbia at the last minute; as a result, some discographies list this track as being unreleased.
It has experienced a minor resurgence in popularity in recent years, having been played at weddings and social events, and has also been parodied on the Am I Right song parody site.
From July 2022 to February 2024, more than 200 parodies of the song were submitted to the website.
He dissolved the group in the early 1940s and moved to Dallas, where he died of melanoma in 1944.
