From the back cover: Paul Weston, who wrote all the arrangements as well as conducted the orchestra for the Irving Berlin Song Book, recently was the subject of a newspaper article citing the fact that he had made more phonograph records than any other performer in America since he accompanied, for various record companies, such singers as Frankie Lanie, Rosemary Clooney, Doris Day, Jo Stafford, Margaret Whiting, Betty Hutton, Gordon MacRae and Johnny Ray. Besides this, Paul made so many mood music albums, such as "Music For Memories," "Music For Dreaming," "Music For Romancing," "Music For The Fireside," that he was once dubbed "Master Of Mood Music" in a Coronet Magazine profile. Obviously, then, Weston's background more than adequately prepared him for the task of accompanying Ella Fitzgerald and writing the kind of arrangements best evoking the moods inherent in the melodies written by Irving Berlin.
