Original Medley Sequence: 

How Deep Is the Ocean 

It All Depends On You 

This Nearly Was Mine 

 

On May 26th, 1961, the track "It All Depends On You" was separated from this medley sequence to stand alone as Matrix No. M5PW-2283 while the song "Smile", recorded separately May 17th, was added as the opening song to the medley sequence. This deleted song, plus a recording of "Back In Your Own Backyard", would not be included within the final album mix and remain unreleased.

 

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.
