Description:

Bert Kaempfert, the King Of Easy Listening, was an arranger/composer, who began his career as a saxophonist in the orchestra of the Gdansk Radio. As a composer he was responsible for the top hits Spanish Eyes (Al Martino, 1966) and Strangers In The Night (Frank Sinatra, 1966). Wonderland By Night was Bert Kaempferts first big international success and was a Billboard number one hit for three weeks in 1961. It was Bert Kaempferts first hit with his orchestra, this is nicely executed, safe, uncompelling but appealing pop music wallpaper from that period when the 1950s were ending but the 1960s hadnt really begun.
