"Sammy Herman's radio debut was on WEAF in New York City in 1922.

He played on the "Lucky Strike Hit Parade" in the orchestras of Carl Hoff, Al Goodman, and Leo Reisman.

In 1931 he played with Bing Crosby in Paul Whiteman's "Rhythm Boys" on the "Old Gold Hour".

Perhaps most significant, Sammy performed every morning (with Frank Banta accompanying on piano) on N.B.C.
