Mit dem beginnenden Ende der Bigband-Ära einher ging der Aufstieg der Gesangssolisten aus ihrer vorigen Rolle des Bandvokalisten; Frank Sinatras enorme Popularität war auch einer der Gründe, warum die Big-Band-Musik an Popularität verlor. Große Plattenfirmen suchten nach Sängern und Sängerinnen, die aufgrund seines Erfolges ein Jugendpublikum anlockten. Sinatra wurde so einer der erfolgreichsten Künstler der 1940er Jahre und einer der meistverkauften Musiker aller Zeiten. Big-Band-Swing war variabel; er konnte ein Instrumentalstil sein oder einen Sänger begleiten. Im Vergleich zu ihrem lauten, rhythmischen Sound standen die Sweet Bands, die einen weicheren, melodischeren Stil spielten, wie die von Horace Heidt, Guy Lombardo und Tommy Tucker.Vgl. George T.
