From the back cover: Al Goodman, famous conductor and musician, has devoted all his life to music. His love for music and his inherent musical ability were manifest when, at an early age, he sang soprano in his father's choir. He started his professional life as a pit musician in a local 'movie house'. Choosing music as his life-time work, he was awarded a scholarship to the Peabody Conservatory in Baltimore.

In 1915, Al Goodman was selected by Earl Carroll as arranger and conductor for his musical extravaganzas. Goodman considers this his 'official' entry into show business... the start of an illustrious musical career which brought him into personal association with the all-time 'Greats' of show business. Many shows and musical productions were successful in great measure because of Al Goodman's outstanding ability.

Al Goodman produced musical comedies with Earl Carroll. Hits like "So Long Letty" and "Canary Cottage". Later he became Al Jolson's personal conductor and arranger. His next association was a musical director and composer for all Shubert musical productions.

Radio and TV claim him as consultant and director for such favorite programs as Hit Parade and Colgate Hour. He numbers as his friends and business associates such broadway luminaries as Earl Carroll, Al Jolson, George White, Sigmund Romberg, Jack Beeny, Fannie Brice, George Jessel, Flo Ziegfield, James Melton, Max Gordon, Bob Hope and many, many others.

From Billboard - November 17, 1958: A low-priced version of the lovely Jerome Kern score that has seemed to improve each year since it's initial performance 25 years ago. For quality, this disk can't compete with Decca's Carlisle-Drake waxing but tunes get able handling here. Recent exposure on a TV spectacular will boost sales.

From Billboard - August 11, 1979: Merman's forte has always been big, booming production numbers, so she fits into disco rather effortlessly. Here she revisits seven of her standards done up disco by veteran conductor Peter Matz. Despite the busy new orchestrations, Merman's famed show-off vocals steal the show. Subtlety and understatement have never been the singer's particular virtues, but she's tops in material like this.

From the back cover: When asked why the selections in this album were chosen over other similar tunes, David Carroll gave this answer, "We started with the basic ingredient of "Melody Of Love." Since the tune is done predominantly with violins and in the style of Wayne King, I decided to put together a set of waltzes which would create an atmosphere. The three best suited were "La Colondrina," "My Evening Star," and "Blue Hours," which was written by the waltz king himself. I rounded out the pattern by selecting two tunes not made popular by King but which have lived through the years, "Let The Rest Of The World Go By" and "Till We Meet Again."

From the inside cover: Our experience in developing additives for industry has led to the recent introduction of Paraflow antifoulants. Many refiners now use these additives in their feedback to coup with fouling of heat transfer equipment. They're not only getting increased throughputs and extended turnaround periods, but their equipment lasts longer, too.

These are just a few of our credentials. Credentials earned by studying tomorrow's marketing and process problems today.

In the end, experience usually boils down to this: "What have you done for me lately?"

Why not give us a try? It could be a rewarding experience.

For both of us.

1960

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.
