Catch a cut from an album dedicated to songs of Peggy Lee, sung by Bette Midler. Find your thrill on Blueberry Hill with Louis Armstrong and do some Latin dancing as “Papa Loves Mambo” with Perry Como, followed up with Hugo Winterhalter's Orchestra backing jazz keyboard player Eddie Heywood for “Canadian Sunset.” More hit songs with Engelbert Humperdinck, Matt Monro, Della Reese and a big band selection by The Boston Pops.
