- Used for Opening Medley on Sides 1
& 2 of the original album
-
- Notes: ~ "Sing to
me, Mister C., sing to me . . . " The familiar theme
music swells
- as Mister C. takes his place at the boom
mike. On screen you see Perry looking
- over the music on
the stand before him. Above him is the mike, and in the
lower
- right hand corner, a single rose stands in it's
vase. Tony Mottola, on guitar, picks up
- the melody from
the Ray Charles Singers, and segues into Perry's first
number.
- As the medley builds, Mitchell Ayres expertly
brings in rhythm, strings and brass.
-
- Millions of TV
viewers have enjoyed and applauded the above scene on
- Perry Como's "Kraft Music Hall" as Perry does
his weekly "medley time" spot.
- Many of them
participate in this particular segment by writing in
comments and
- requests. Others simply relax and enjoy it.
In any case, the Como medley has
- become one of the
all-time favorite spots in the history of television.
