The Headliners, Volume 3

 

 It's never to late to stop procrastinating. This is for Jack Hicks member of the Facebook group "Exotica...and other Cool, Unusual Music.

On January 1, 2020 he asked" I own a Columbia Records sampler that features Andy WIliams, Les Paul and Mary Ford among others.
I currently don't have a turntable.  I love the song "Go On Loving You" by Les Paul and Mary Ford.  It's a very swanky/bluesy tune that is incredible.  I would love to post it if I could.  It's rare.  You can't find it on youtube and it's not available to download from Amazon.  
Does anyone out there have this album and a turntable?  Could you send me an MP3 of the song?  I play guitar and I want to learn the guitar parts.  
Thank you everyone.  What a wonderful site this is!  I love it here!  Happy New Year

The Will Bronson Singers - Best of Broadway

 


 Enjoy these cheesy group vocals.  Picked this LP up at the WICN record fair a few months ago. How many times have I heard Joe play "Soon it's Gonna Rain" from this very same LP?
Here I'm showing my lady the back of the record and Joe's very own notations next to the tracks. Trivia the expert DJ's usually mention before or after announcing a track. For instance next to "Holly Golightly" Joe wrote "Audrey Hepburn". And under "Baby, Dream your Dream" Joe wrote "Dorothy Fields 1966". Cy Coleman is the credited composer.... but they left out lyricist Fields. . She almost seems impressed right? No.

Will Bronson "presented" a Solid State LP with The InCrowd. seems to be the same group of course. Compare it yourself. These Sonny Lester recording were being made all day long in Hollywood. Available on YouTube.  You can also find the "Theme from Hawaii" by Elmer Bernstein and Mack David. Was hoping for a more exotica-ish rendition. But no. 

Discogs mentions 2 albums and 4 singles..(they were the chorus in Tony Bennett's Bossa Nova LP, If I Ruled The World. Manny Albam arranging.
