From the back cover: Sure ingredients for realizing your dreams are provided by the success story of 2 gals and 3 guys, aptly known as The Honeydreamers. Their dreams took seed on the campus of St. Olaf's College in Minnesota when, starry-eyed and ambitious, they decided to pool their talents and aim for the stars. The seed was nourished by confidence and hard work and it wasn't long before WCCO in Minneapolis engaged their services. This led to network radio, TV in Chicago and then, naturally enough a No. 1 spot of Dave Garroway's NBC "Garroway at Large" show.
The dream was well on its way to becoming a reality and The Honeydreamers were rapidly gaining national renown. Their 5-way smooth blending singing technique brought them finally to the city of all dreams, New York, where they appeared on nearly a thousand TV shows including Martin & Lewis, Garry Moore, Broadway Opera House, Steve Allen, Ed Sullivan, and a host of others. This, in addition to their numerous radio shows, personal appearances and recordings brought the dream to full bloom and brought listening pleasure to all who heard them. Whether it's the bouncy, rhythmical "On The Sunnyside of the Street " or the plaintive "Wrap Your Troubles in Dreams," The Honeydreamers are easy on the ears – as well as on the eyes as evidenced in photo...
