Original LP liner notes:
Ray Conniff has a unique way with music. In his latest album for Columbia, Conniff's Singers depart from their customary role as a section of the orchestra; once again they sing song lyrics, rather than the "ba-ba's" and "do-do's" which have become synonymous with the Conniff style. ï Two different moods are represented in this collection of love songs. "Somebody Loves Me" and "Don't Fence Me In" illustrate a happy, "walkin'" beat used in half of the songs in this album; "Golden Earrings" and "The Thrill Is Gone" are typical of the moody ballad treatment given to the remaining selections. ï An intriguing musical instrument, the clavietta, sets the mood for "Golden Earrings," "The Green Leaves of Summer," and "Moon Song." ï Conniff himself plays this instrument for the first time in any of his albums. With a sound somewhere between an accordion and a harmonica, the clavietta adds new dimension and color to the already brillian Conniff sound. ï Stereo listeners will be interested in the three channel pick-up used for Conniff's Columbia recordings. On the left channel are heard the male singers, the piano and the percussionist. On the right channel are heard the female singers and the harp. The center channel records the rhythm section, including guitars, bass and drums. The left and right channel exchange of voices provides startling stereo effects.

In interviews, Ray stated that Mitch was ecstatic with the sound of the wordless male chorus Ray used on Don Cherry's "Band Of Gold" (rec. Oct 17, 1955) and immediately offered Ray an opportunity to record solo with his orchestra and chorus. However, the files at Columbia show that Ray recorded his arrangement of "Begin the Beguine" on October 7, 1955 (during an Eileen Rodgers session), a full 10 days before the Don Cherry session...
