Peter Palmer & Orchestra & Voices

Well now is it "Conniff" ?.....recorded in 1959... they say imitation is a form of flattery !...
so Peter does a decent job... I suppose that if you didn't know you would think that it was Ray Conniff....but to me being a lover of the Conniff sound there's is something missing the richness of the shuffle beat is not quite right !! and the voices are not as full and rich....still it is worth listening to !!

Bandleader, tenor saxophonist and composer who recorded several albums for Mercury Records including "A Swingin' Love Affair", "A Swingin' Dance Date", and "Moonlight on the Campus", with a small singing group which included Ann Trendler, whom he would later marry. Later in his career he changed his name to Johnny Palmer to avoid confusion with the popular Broadway singer and actor Peter Palmer of Li'l Abner fame.

    is no longer available.

    Thanks Dave
