On this day — September 3,1942  -    A blue-eyed crooner does it his way:  Bandleader Tommy Dorsey made a good choice when he picked a skinny Hoboken kid as his singer, but Dorsey&#x27;s insistence on a contract for one-third royalties on all lifetime earnings has the singer itching to go solo. Frank Sinatra does just that, as Dorsey replaces him with Dick Haymes.
