1950 HITS ARCHIVE: It Isn’t Fair - Sammy Kaye (Don Cornell, vocal)

It Isn’t Fair (Himber-Warshauer-Sprigato) by Sammy Kaye & his Orchestra, vocal by Don Cornell In 1950, after many years of swinging and swaying, Don Cornell went solo, departing the Sammy Kaye band with a bang! This final Kaye-Cornell collaboration was a million-selling hit, spent nearly six months on the record charts, and remained (along with “I’m Yours”) one of Cornell’s signature tunes throughout his long career. New to much of 1950’s younger generation, “It Isn’t Fair” had been a popular hit back in 1933, serving also as theme for the band of Richard Himber, co-writer of the song.
