Lounge Music Playlist

Marty Gold And His Orchestra - Skin Tight
RCA
 
A few years ago I found this guy, and one of the most awesome songs I had heard in awhile. I have since forgotten the name of the guys group but I do remember that his name included "Streets" in it. Anyone have a clue?

I thought Gleason wanted music that was more like a mild ruffie, especially with titles like "Music to Change Her Mind". What did the girl think when a guy pulled that record out back in the 50's.

I'd have to agree with you... it was all about romance. I know the wife and I enjoy them once and a while and they do have a calming effect, and we do end up going to bed earlier... :D

According to Wiki, here was Gleason's take:

Throughout the 1950s and '60s, Gleason enjoyed a secondary music career, lending his name to a series of best-selling "mood music" albums with jazz overtones for Capitol Records. Gleason felt there was a ready market for romantic instrumentals. He recalled seeing Clark Gable play love scenes in movies, and the romance was, in his words, "magnified a thousand percent" by background music. Gleason reasoned, "If Gable needs music, a guy in Brooklyn must be desperate!"

London Phase 4 Stereo Popular Music Sampler (R2R) - not ALL lounge, but who can get enough of Ronnie Aldrich And His Two Pianos? Awww, it reminds me of the smells standing in line at Luby's and riding the elevator at the utility company where I worked.

Original Soundtrack - Mondo Cane
Riz Ortolani and Nino Oliviero
United Artists 1962

More is a classic Easy Listening composition.
 
Mondo Cane!

Yow! Mondo Cane and Malamondo were two movies from my sweaty-palm teenage days. They were the closest you could get to a skin flick you could get without going to a grind house.

I could never eat the popcorn in those places. You had to worry - a LOT - about the butter they put on it.

George Martin - Scores (Instrumental Versions Of The Hits)
United Artists 1965 MONO

great music to mop the kitchen floor to.

Not lounge music, you say? Seems to be on about the same ethereal plain as Martin Denny, to me. It just needs bird calls.
