From the back cover: Here is the music of Guy Lombardo at its danceable best, in a wonderful array of vocal and instrumental renditions of tunes from the delightful MGM film musical, "Bell Are Ringing, starring Judy Holliday and Dean Martin

These are songs that lend themselves perfectly to the distinctive Lombardo touch which has captivated the dancing and listening public for nearly three decades. Now Guy offers his long-playing salute to the Betty Comden-Adolph Green-Jule Styne hit which was first a smash on Broadway and is now enjoying great success as a motion picture.

Two of the tunes in this album were written especially for the film version of "Bells Are Ringing", They include Better Than A Dream, which is sung here by Kenny Gardner, and Do It Yourself, handled vocally by Cliff Grass. Kenny also sings Just In Time and I'm Going Back, while Bill Flannigan steps forward to contribute his sensitive rendition of the hauntingly beautiful ballad, The Party's Over. The Lombardo Trio takes over the spotlight on the very clever novelty number, Drop That Name.

The remaining selections are instrumentals played in a fine variety of Lombardo dance tempos as "The Sweetest Music This Side Of Heaven" adds new luster to this superb collection of songs from "Bells Are Ringing".
