listener, I can't guArantee you
will like this. Cugat manages to
inject a Latin American feeling
into most of them, which, surpris
ingly enough, blends well. For
my money "Fascination" is the
best cut, the orchestra manages
to keep this teff-jerker from be
ing totally maudlin. All in all,
this is a good album, especially
if you like Cugat. Too bad Abbe
Lane didn't make an appearance.

of Frankie Laine's "Torchin".
This guy is a night club singer if
nothing else. He gets some fine
whrm sounds on I Cover the

this is mood music, a type of
musical melancholia, as it were.
To sum it up: this is a good
change from the earth-shaking,
rafter rattling performances us

bad, not bad at all. (CL 1157).

"Lady In Satin" Is a real fine

artist to sing the blues, and in
this group of well arranged bal

New in Sounds
Now for the winner. This is
one of the finest, funniest, and
most downright enjoyable of all
albums that I've heard in quite
a spell. It's "The Four Freshmen
in Person". (Capitol TL 008).
They provide their own accom
paniment, and tie the whole per
formance together with a fast
line of really funny patter. The
thing tliat keeps the whole thing
from being the purest corn is that
the guys on stage are having as
much fun as the audience. They
swing out with Somebody Loves
Me, and end up with Mr. B's
Blues. In between there is some
real solid harmony plus same
equally nonsensical items. You've
got to hear "Sweet Lorriane" to
believe it. Man, with the Inter
national situation what it is,
taxes, and all that jazz, this is
one five spot ($4.98 plus tax)
that will return plenty of laughs
forty-five minutes of solid relax
ation. And you "can't hardly get
them no more."
