Despite the Tri-Centre this is an American pressing, I have no details about this record, Ray Anthony only managed one hit in the UK with Dragnet.
Vocal By Tommy Mercer.

Ray Anthony is probably best remembered by British rock fans for his appearance in "The Girl Can't Help It "film,playing "Rock Around The Rock Pile".He also managed an appearance on the 6.5 Special TV show...I believe this footage survives.

Knowledge is power! It takes someone who is truly into his music to know and to share such a wealth of information.
DeleteUS tr-center eh? His trumpet seems more introspective than that of Billy Vaughn. The vocals of Tommy Mercer remind me very much of Billy Eckstine.
