Dear Ernie:
Having just concluded a "grass roots" survey to determine why my albums are so popular with all record buying age groups, I suggest that we call the new album THE HAPPY BEAT for the following reasons:
Our studies show that the Ray Conniff record buyers like the arrangements and the way the voices are used, but most of all they like THE HAPPY BEAT of the rhythm section .
Housewives start their day to it, college students study and relax to it, bachelors do whatever bachelors do to it (with honorable intentions of course), married couples entertain to it, teenagers do their homework to it, people who attend our concerts tap their feet to it, and everyone likes to dance to it.
Listen to a few bars of "Volare" and "I'll Walk Alone" and see if you don't agree that the only correct title for this album is:
THE HAPPY BEAT!
Best Regards,
Ray Conniff

P.S. Here's the other information you requested:
Clarinet solo — John Bambridge
Piano solos — Bobby Hammack
Lead trumpet — Conrad Gazzo
Clavietta work — Yours truly
Recorded in California by Ernest Chapman — Engineer

Сегодня мы представляем её вам в русском переводе. Приятного чтения! Большинство из тех, кто читает данную статью, уже знакомы с тем характерным музыкальным звучанием, с которым идентифицируется имя Рэй Коннифф. Вы знакомы с мастерством Рэя Конниффа и приобретете любую его новую пластинку вне зависимости от того , какие песни на ней записаны, потому что вы знаете, что если на пластинке написано имя Коннифф, то она будет великолепной. Но вся эта великолепность Рэя Конниффа не пришла к нему вдруг сразу. Пластинка – этот виниловый лист, заключенный между двумя слоями картона, как и другие пластинки Рэя Конниффа, являются продуктом многолетней уп
