Come On In

Santo & Johnny

Arranged and Conducted by Hutch Davie

1962

From the back cover: Imagine a magic radio that could be tuned to any year, a radio with a memory. You dial to 1959 and listen to the song hits of the year and the artists who gave the songs their popularity.

And then you suddenly stop and wonder... it is hard to believe how many of these artists have disappeared from your radio of today... gone from the public eye... their popularity, their moment of success, their spotlight... a memory.

In the strange land of "show biz", they have a word for this phenomena... a "one shot"... like the rookie pitcher.. one three-hitter... and back to the minors... but 1959 also had its exceptions, success born from a fine talent, talent strong enough to survive the years and grow in stature... Santo and Johnny!

This album is their fourth in a continuous string of top selling LP's.

It is three years since the magic of "Sleep Walk" first was heard on the airwaves, three years and 100,000 miles later.

Santo and Johnny have appeared in hundreds of cities and towns, from New York to Australia, from Las Vegas to Honolulu, from Maine to Florida and on television from hundreds of local television stations dance parties to the Dick Clark and Perry Como shows.

Over the years, the boys have kept a list of their "requests", the songs people somehow keep asking for over and over again. To these requests, they have added three of their own personal favorites, written by themselves, during their travels... the result:

"Come On In", an album for your easy listening and dancing, the sort of music you would hear if you were dropping in for a visit with Santo & Johnny.

Now that you are visiting, what are the boys like after three years of applause and spotlight... Have they changed... sure a little. They could point with pride to a beautifully framed gold record of "Sleep Walk", the industry's award for a million seller... or they could point with pride to a "Citation of Achievement ", given to them by Broadcast Music, Inc., as the writers of "Sleep Walk"... but chances are, however, you would have to notice the awards yourself, because Santo would be too busy telling you about his racing and homing pigeons and how great they are, or about his little farm and the way the wild rabbits get tame in wintertime; and Johnny would be telling you the latest episodes about his Great Dane puppy "Tammy" (you'll notice Johnny has the dog on the cover, not his awards!)... or his latest hunting or fishing adventure... and this is so typical of these two wonderfully talented kids... so "Come On It". – Ed Burton
