Released in 1958 when STEREO was the rage of audio, Raymond Paige conducts the Radio City Music Hall Symphony with musical 'Bon Bons'. You might call them American Bon Bons as each of the selections are American pieces and composers, Koffman, Anderson and Rose.
I'm actually surprised this record reproduced itself well from all the wear of play it suffered though the years on our living room Stromberg Carlson stereo. It was one of three records that I recall were played most every night for dinner. The other albums unfortunately are still in print on CD in some form or fashion. This album was included with Ray Conniff' 'S Marvelous and Frank Chacksfield's Richmond label releas of The Best of Cole Porter.
Enjoy the Radio City Music Hall Symphony with some great American pieces. It's great listening for the spring and summer.
