It's Just Love - Tony Martin

It's Just Love

Tony Martin

Mercury Wing MGW 12115

1960

From the back cover: Tony is a native of Oakland, California where he was born on Christmas Day. At the age of twelve, he played both clarinet and saxophone, and while attending high school he and three other boys formed an orchestra called the "Clarion Four" that was good enough to get professional engagements in several vaudeville theaters. Tony was leader and played sax. At fourteen he played with the Five Red Peppers, a hot jazz combo and at sixteen, he was playing and singing with a band at the Palace Hotel in San Francisco, making $102 a week, which was during the days when 25 dollars was high wages for a man let alone a boy in his teens.

At the age of eighteen, he made his coast to coast radio debut while still attending St. Mary's College. Tony Martin's story falls into a pattern that has spelled success for so many other greats in the entertainment business, work, lots of it, a few heart breaks like an accident while on his way to open at the Chicago Worlds Fair, losing a chance to star in movies because he was too new, or being signed to do musicals just when the movies decided to feature drama. Still for every dark side there is a bright side and as they say, talent will always win out, and so it was with Tony. The Trocadero Night Club was the turning point for Tony Martin, for it 3was here that Daryl Zanuck heard Tony sing and signed him to a contract with 20th Century Fox.

Most of the numbers in this album are among Tony Martin's greatest hits, including "I Kiss You Hand Madame" and "A Gal In Calico." These hit songs plus many more are yours for the listening in this album of Tony Martin's best recordings.

1963

From Billboard - March 2, 1963 The only thing modest about this album is its price; the sound is lush and sleek, the mood is romantic, and the Johnny Douglas arrangements of oldies like "I'll Get By" and "Love Letters" spotlight some fine motto-voce trumpet by Ray Davies against wall-to-wall strings. Could easily be a strong seller.

Latin Twist - Tito Rodriguez

Tito Rodriguez And His Orchestra

United Artists Records UAL 3194

1962

From the back cover: In the late Spring of 1961 a new dance craze, nurtured by Teens, spread like fire through the United States, then slowly ebbed. Late in the year, from out of nowhere, the same craze, known as the Twist, suddenly came back to life, this time as an adult dance fare.

New York's famous Palladium Ballroom, where the latin rhythms prevail, soon found that the music played by Tito Rodriguez and his fine orchestra was well-suited to this new dance, and Tito, ever aware of trends, made certain his music would fill the bill for the hordes who flock to the Palladium each night.

There can be no questions that Tito Rodriguez has, in the early '60s become the leading Latin-American entertainer North of the border. His fame has spread from one coast to the other, and into Canada where he made his initial appearance late in 1961, and was so enthusiastically acclaimed that a return engagement was set before he returned home. Similar receptions greeted him on his first personal appearance tour of the West Coast.

Here is Tito, singing and leading his musicians through the same exciting music the New Yorkers dance "live" to at the Palladium. You will find the tempo ideal for Twisting – or, if it is your pleasure – for just plain listening. In either event, it is Tito Rodriguez at his entertaining best.
