Hugo & Luigi Chorus




right now i can't get enough of The Cascading Voices of the Hugo & Luigi Chorus Let's Fall In Love...

i found this record in a Salvation Army in Boulder a couple years ago but i only just now got to listening to it this week...

from the back cover

"The hand-picked mixed chorus highlighted by the wordless vocalizing of the six sopranos poised above it; the easy rhythm-section accompaniment punctuated by a particular solo instrument in each selection—these are all extensions of the artistic personalities of Hugo Peretti and Luigi Creatore...The Songs? all evergreens—and all the way from Let Me Call You Sweetheart, which found its way out of Chicago and into every American parlor in 1910, to Can't Help Falling In Love, which found its way out of Hugo & Luigi's imagination only last year and onto one of Elvis Presley's big hit singles"

also, this is one of the original Dynagoove recordings, nice. "to solve these old and obstinate problems in disc recording, highly ingenious computers—"electronic brains"—have been introduced to audio for the first time."

i like this record a lot, i like the two people on the cover of the record a lot too, they look so happy. not bad for a 25cent buy.
