A very apt title for this release from the bandleader musician (singer, organist and pianist), and composer often labelled "The King of the Mambo."With recordings covering the period 1949- 1958 (some vocals uncredited) I was impressed by both sound quality and choice of material with MAMBO No. 5, CHERRY PINK AND APPLE-BLOSSOM WHITE and PATRICIA emanating from Prado's hit popularity package.
However, more off-centre Latin-beat interpretations include Leroy Anderson' famous composition SYNCOPATED CLOCK MAMBO along with an effective nod towards Johnnie Ray's SUCH A NIGHT and transitional reworking of C'ESTS l BON. ANNA and SILVANA MANGANO link film and its star of the successful 1951-released ltalian movie whilst two tracks - FREDDY and SWEET AND GENTLE - are heightened by clicking cha-cha heels and purring vocal seduction of the inimitable Eartha Kitt. Twenty full-blooded tracks containing Latin pleasure!
