Dear Ernie,
Having just concluded a "grass roots" survey to determine why my albums are so popular with all record buyng age groups, I suggest that we call the new album The Happy Beat for the following reasons:
Our studies show that the Ray Conniff record buyers like the arrangements and the way the voices are used, but most of all like THE HAPPY BEAT of the rhythm section. Housewives start their day to it, college students study and relax to it, bachelors do whathever do to it (with honorable intentions of course), married couples entertain to it, teenagers do their homework to it, people who attend our concert tap their feet to it, and everyone likes to dance to it.
Listen to a few bars of "Volare" and "I'll Walk Alone", and see if you don't agree that the only correct title for this album is: THE HAPPY BEAT!!


Best regards,
Ray Conniff
