Ray Conniff and The Singers

As a conductor and arranger, Ray Conniff led his orchestra and chorus on dozens of albums from the 1950s into the 1980s on Columbia.  While not beginning that way, his albums would eventually come to be known for their covers of contemporary pop and rock hits of day.  There were many conductors and artists doing much the same, but Ray Conniff was among the best-selling and certainly longest-lasting of the bunch.  He recorded three very popular Christmas albums during his Columbia tenure:  1959's Christmas With Conniff, 1962's We Wish You A Merry Christmas and 1965's Here We Come A-Caroling.  All three are collected on this 2-CD set together with Conniff's version of "My Favorite Things" from a 1965 album featuring songs from The Sound of Music.  Joe has written the new liner notes!
