Trummy Young was a trombonist in the Swing Era. Although he was never really a star or a bandleader himself, he did have one hit with his version of "Margie," which he played and sang with Jimmy Lunceford's Orchestra. Growing up in Washington, Young was originally a trumpeter, but by the time he debuted in 1928, he had switched to trombone. Extending the range and power of his instrument, Young was a major asset to Earl Hines' orchestra from 1933 to 1937 <a href="https://www.last.fm/music/Trumm
