Buddy Morrow is an American trombonist and bandleader frequently associated with the Tommy Dorsey Orchestra. He is known for his mastery of the upper range which is evident in records such as "The Golden Trombone." Morrow was once a member of the Tonight Show orchestra. His early 1950s records such as "Rose, Rose, I Love You" and "Night Train" rode the Billboard's national charts. Jimmy Forrest recorded the original version of "Night Train" in 1952 which was a #1 R&B hit. Buddy Morrow's version reached #27 on the charts, also in 1952, and features a classic trombone solo by Buddy Morrow himself. Although it didn't chart as high, Morrow's version remained a popular item on jukeboxes well into the mid 60s. The bump and grind tempo of this selection made it a staple for strip club performers.
