From the back cover: Vincent Lopez has proved one of the hardiest evergreens in show business. A bustling, energetic bandleader for most of his adult life, Lopez was responsible for many innovations in the playing of dance music, and has had a hand in the launching of scores of careers of today's music favorites. Lopez was one of the first genuine stars of radio, and has added to that many personal triumphs in TV, night clubs, the movies, and in personal appearances. For four decades the story of Vincent Lopez and his orchestra has been the story of American show business. In addition to his long and fruitful career in entertainment, he is the author of two top-selling books" Lopez Speaking, his autobiography and Numerology, a fascinating volume on the science of numbers in which Lopez is an international authority.

From Billboard - December 4, 1961: This is a very smart album and one that will have strong appeal to hosts and hostesses looking for music to dance at home. The Vincent Lopez crew plays six different types of rhythms here, the six that appeal to everybody. They include the cha cha, merengues, tangos, society or business man's bounce, fox trot and waltzes. All that's missing is the Twist. Good wax.
