RRaquello said: "Boy, when he talks, introducing the song, he sounds exactly like Harry Truman. I wonder if Margaret was one of the girl singers." Haha!! Ray was born and raised in Attleboro, Massachusetts, USA. What you hear in his dialect is a variation of the "Boston accent" that he carried with him his entire life. (Think "Pahk the cah in the yahd")
@RRaquello HaHa!! That dialect is pure Boston Yankee. Conniff was raised not far from Boston and still talked like he was from the area throughout his life. He was proud of his roots.
Ray Conniff was a great composer, and trombonist. His forte' was arranging. One of his concepts was to use human voices as musical instruments. He would double up female voices with higher pitched instruments like trumpets, violins, etc, and lower male ones with trombones, etc. Mr. Conniff recorded with great singers like Johnny Mathis, and Johnny Ray, and others. I'm grateful to Ray Conniff for inspiring me to love music and great melodies. He died on Oct. 12, 2002 after suffering an accident.
Ouvia sempre ela tocar na casa dos meus avós,nas festas dos amigos dos meus pais,ela me marcou muito.Cresci e apaixonei-me pelo ritmo da orquestra. A Melhor do mundo ! Músicas que faziam a gente sonhar e dançar juntinho com a pessoa amada, o que é difícil ver hoje.
Eu tive privilégio de ter conhecido Ray Conniff e vou tê-lo na lembrança pelo resto da minha vida.
Wouldn't have missed it for the world. A pleasure - thank you!

Great arrangement and performance. We could sure use a Ray Conniff in todays music scene. I miss this stuff.

This is a gem! Ray was such a humble, soft-spoken man who brought joy to millions and millions for years. His arrangements will live on as classics.
