Description
Happy Hits is a delightful CD compilation drawing from the rich well of mid-20th century American vocal pop and light orchestra recordings. The disc brings together some of the era’s most beloved voices, including Rosemary Clooney and Jimmy Boyd on the playful ‘Dennis The Menace,’ Jo Stafford and Frankie Laine’s spirited romp through ‘Settin’ The Woods On Fire’ backed by Paul Weston’s Orchestra, and the lush, ebullient sound of Percy Faith & His Orchestra on ‘Abbondanza.’ Ray Conniff, Doris Day, Don Cherry, and Jill Corey round out a lineup that showcases the warmth, wit, and craftsmanship that defined popular music before rock and roll reshaped the landscape. A charming time capsule for fans of classic American pop…
