pop/jazz orchestral music of the '40's-'60's

[jazzboCR]

Les and Larry Elgart These brothers essentially kept swing alive 'til the early '90's. Les retired in '64; Larry kept going for decades more. Les' Wiki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Les_Elgart No AMG listing--his stuff is too intermixed with his brother's stuff. Died in '95 but still has an ork with his name and a Website: http://www.leselgart.com/ Larry's Wiki--evidently the stronger, more commanding of the two: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Larry_Elgart and http://www.allmusic.com/artist/larry-elg...0000129317 A combined discog from 1965 on but search each for a bunch of good stuff: http://www.allmusic.com/artist/les-larry...iscography

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QfRKVXrK7yE << All the Latino commenters liked it a lot...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FQXfoSuHwak << Ditto. Commenter Kirk Schmidt puts you in the picture of the times.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RFbEKj-iPPc << I love this song, even this syrupy version. Try Charlie Barnet's--that so cooks! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lsDXnYKkdqw

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FNpxtZhe1HU << always a haunting song

Hooked on Swing Series--3 discs hooking great swing tunes together in medley form--works very well and gave Larry Elgart a second shot. The one to get: http://www.allmusic.com/album/hooked-on-...0000624256
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mHANNkKBSNU << New music; old vid--works well
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SFIumCtDVQw << Could do without the clapping
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tz9MNX7dfl8 << Surely you remember this?

Larry Elgart did other "Hooked on" series including the Beatles << I only said this so if anybody "Searches" the Beatles here, this will come up, to everybody's bafflement.
