Volume 157: 50 Years of Lombardo

Happy New Year's Eve!   When some of us think about our earliest memories of watching New Year’s Eve on TV, we’ll remember long before Ryan Seacrest and even before Dick Clark. This Guy, who brought the New York City ballroom celebration into our living rooms every year, goes back to even before this holiday was celebrated live on television.   He formed the band during 1924 in his hometown of London, Ontario, Canada and sold more than 100 million records. Maybe as many as 300 million.    So get ready to hear The Sweetest music this side of heaven, with a little sweet champagne to go with it, in Volume 157: 50 Years of Lombardo.   Credits and copyrights   Guy Lombardo – 50th Anniversary Album Label: Suffolk Marketing, Inc. – SMI-1-8M Format: Vinyl, LP, Album, Compilation, Mono Released: 1977 Genre: Jazz, Pop Style: Big Band, Easy Listening   We will hear 8 of the 20 songs on the album.   Boo Hoo Written by Edward Heyman, John Jacob Loeb, Carmen Lombardo   Humoresque written by Howard Johnson, Hugo Frey, and Antonín Dvořák   Tales from the Vienna Woods written by Johann Strauss   Best Things In Life Are Free written by Ray Henderson, B.G.
