enjoyed immense success in the 50s and 60s. He arranged for Rosemary
Clooney, Marty Robbins, Frankie Laine, Johnny Mathis, Guy Mitchell and
Johnnie Ray. Hit singles he backed were "Just Walkin' in the Rain",
"Chances Are", "It's Not for Me to Say", and "A White Sport Coat". In
1957 he released his first album, " 'S Wonderful ", featuring an
orchestra and a wordless singing chorus. The title song, " 'S Wonderful
", became a signature song for countless radio stations across the
country. In 1959 he started the Ray Conniff Singers (12 women and 13
men) and released the album "It's the Talk of the Town". His biggest
hit was "Somewhere My Love" ("Lara's Theme" from the film "Doctor
Zhivago"), a top-10 hit in 1966. Between 1957 and 1968 he had 28
albums in the American Top 40, the most famous one being "Somewhere My
Love". This selection is from the album "Say It with Music (A Touch of
Latin)" released in 1960.
