Ray Conniff was one of a kind. The first, and only, composer to blend chorus and music into a single sound. My favorite Conniff tune is La Mer or Beyond the Sea.
In 1959, I was in 11th grade and I actually went to a teen party that played only Ray Conniff music the whole time. I remember it being a good time, visiting with friends and dancing with a few girls. I have about 40 or so of his many hit LP's and I use Ray's music to "rock me to sleep" at night. Thanks Ray for such great music.
I first heard Ray when i was a young child in the 60s when my mum would play his albums.I get just as much joy today as i did then.That album Hi Fi companion was by far his best.
This theme was used in a radio programme here in Chile. The radio announcer called up teenagers of that time to ask for a song according to a prepared listing. One of those radio listeners won a prize. The programme was called EL TOCADISCOS and the radio announcer was Julio Gutiérrez. The sponsor was a record shop called RAPSODIA (afterwards it became LA FERIA DEL DISCO) July 2019 Santiago of Chile
Oh, my. Ok, if you look at the picture to the left of these words, you know I'm a guitar player. I probably look like a "fairly modern rock guy". So what is somebody like me doing liking this "beautiful music"? I dunno...maybe because it's beautiful? lol I first heard this tune on an easy listening station from Tifton, GA around 1980. It just blew me away. Because stations like that played their music on rotation with no DJ, it took me years of detective work to find this was a Conniff tune. And it was worth it, because I just adore it. Listening to this is like running your hand across soft, smooth velvet. Exquisite.
The Way You Look Tonight é um dos mais felizes arranjos de Ray Conniff, sem dúvida um dos pontos mais altos da sua brilhante carreira de trobonista/arranjador. Todos que nos anos 50, 60 e 70 puderam ter a felicidade de dançar, namorar e amar com arranjos do Ray sabem que são eternos e são muito gratos a ele.
Simply a masterpiece... To my mind one of the most representative of Ray Conniff 's orchestral performances. Almost a hymn ! I remember I heard it at my 12-13 years old. Santiago, Chile. Hcrun thank you very much indeed !
Such wonderful (S'Wonderful? Ha ha!) music. Played this on the Pasadena City College station, KPCS-now KPCC--in the late 50s, early 60s, ahead of what turned out to be a really enjoyable radio career, mostly here in Los Angeles.

Ray and his team made the Fifties unforgettable. S'marvellous!
I have been enjoying lissening to this Music in the last 5 decades of my life, a great relief into some depressive moments....

How could I forget this song? One of my FATHER'S favorite.
In my teenage years, a party without Ray Conniff records was a dull party.

THis music harks back to more innocent times.
I wish I had the chance to enjoy so beautiful decades in which people had a good sense of real music. 🥰
Only The Best....................
Mr. Conniff´s sound is definitely beyond time.

Another of those unique jazz sounds of the fifties. Wonderful.
This beautiful piece of music transports me back to 1962 when I first heard this in Zomba Malawi
Thank you very much for your comment.
I remember when Ray Moore played this on BBC Radio 2 he used to say l can hear a thousand tape recorders clicking
This is one of my favorite tunes from ray conniff
bella melodía y un hermoso sonido inigualable, bien por ray connif

Loved his music!

Die brave schöne Musik eines braven Kindes in der ’60-er.

Ah yes now I recall. The three LP titles are a take on the Gershwin tune you know.
