Although my title seems to refer that the 1940's were happy, I meant that those were the days when I grew up hearing the music my parents & grandparents were playing on the old record player. The songs in this album are all sung or played by the original artists. It is a treasure to have if you were born in the 1940's or even the early 1950's. The songs remind me of wonderful memories being with my family on a Sunday afternoon, listening to the songs while my grandfather was in the kitchen making homemade chocolate cake & frosting. Days when we had nothing to worry about but licking that bowl when he was done.I love the 40's music & know if you listen to some of the tracks you will appreciate the music too. Hope you all enjoy as much as I do. - Amazon Review by Lorraine Latimer

The Everly Brothers were not only among the most important and best early rock & roll stars, but also among the most influential rockers of any era. They set unmatched standards for close, two-part harmonies and infused '50s rock & roll with some of the best elements of country and pop music. In the late '60s and early '70s, their style proved a natural fit for the burgeoning country-rock movement. After a mid-'70s breakup, the duo reunited in the '80s and continued performing together into the 21st century. Their legacy was and is felt enormously by all rock acts that employ harmonies as prime features, from the Beatles and Simon & Garfunkel to legions of country-rockers as well as roots rockers like Dave Edmunds and Nick Lowe (who once recorded an EP of Everlys songs together).

Della Reese was born Deloreese Patricia Early on July 6, 1931 in Detroit, Michigan and began singing in her local church from an early age. In late 1953 Della signed on with The Erskine Hawkins Orchestra and moved to New York and soon had a recording contract with Jubilee Records. Duke Ellington really needs no introduction, being considered by many as the greatest American composer of the 20th Century. His orchestra, over its 50 plus years of performing and recording, launched the careers of many of jazz's greatest stars. The line up for this 1962 performance still featured such respected alumni as Ray Nance, Johnny Hodges and Paul Gonsalves. This unique live concert broadcast featuring Della Reese and The Duke Ellington Orchestra was recorded on February 13, 1962 in New York City as part of a radio series specifically designed to promote a National Guard recruiting effort.
