“Seattle” #38 5/31/1969

The theme song from the late 60’s TV show “Here Come The Brides” was a Top 5 easy listening hit for Perry Como. He benefited from a sea change in how vocalists were looked upon. Before World War II they were secondary; bandleaders were the stars. A musicians’ strike from 1942-44 altered that perception. Singers became the real stars, and Mr. C became one of the best at what he did.
