This particular album stirs up memories of my dad and his 1971 Cadillac Eldorado convertible. Me being 12 or so, just wasn't into this muaic, When I listen to this now, I can't help thinking about my dad. He passed September 16, 1976 and I still miss him. I don't think that void will ever be filled nor do I want itto be filled!
This brings back memories of going to my grandparents' house and this was one of the few albums that they had THAT I LIKED👍! After they had both passed away, I inherited their whole album collection because they knew that I liked music! I haven't found this on CD yet and, unfortunately, I haven't reconnected my stereo in over 15 years, but maybe I'll do it eventually and this will be one of the first albums that I'll dig out and listen to!🙂
"Born Free" is the theme song to the hit film of the same name. Lawrence Welk and his Orchestra performed a vocal version of the song on the Welk TV show, with Joe Feeney as lead singer. 7:59
Frank Scott's piano work is great on "Mas Que Nada," my favorite; "Tijuana" featuring the fabulous trumpets (Dick Cathcart, Norman Bailey, Charlie Parlato at the time, I think) is also really good, and listen to Buddy Hayes' strong bass line on that track! A question about the Welk orchestral albums: were the background singers all from the show, or did they use studio singers? I know that when they used album tracks on the show, they usually had the singers lip-synching the background vocals, but it doesn't always sound like their voices... Just curious...
I remember my parents watching the LW show back in the 70s on TV. I think it was on Sunday night. I used to be fascinated watching the musicians play. They also had a second conductor besides Welk with the grey hair and beard. Who was that guy?

Loved it then.....love it now❤️Thanks!
I have this album. Love it ☺️
"Cuando" is such a haunting ballad.
I have the Cassette tape of this from the 70s.
I got this album as a mystery record and it included a Mario sticker. Pretty cool record, definitely one of my favorites from the 60s
Thank you my bold ginger
Great Arrangement of Mas que nada
