Patti Page – Manhattan Tower

 

Saw this record in a Cambridge MA record store over 20 years ago? Expensive...Was happy to find it a second time in a dollar bin after all these years.. and then found out you get it for $1 online at Diskcogs. LOL all the crate digging you see lots of Patti Page, but not this. 

Never seen it on a blog after all these years.  The conductor – Vic Schoen. not Gordon Jenkins.(Pete Rugolo who would have had a take on this) .. And the lyrics had to change for a lady... and there is no narration. And with a man it always seemed possessive and phallic... So its pleasantly different, .... but is it interesting?

This recording gets no mention when articles discuss Manhattan Tower
