A popular favorite since he began his broadcasting career more than 40 years ago, Lawrence Welk turnsto the Broadway stage for most of the music offered in this album. The familiar songs of Richard Rodgers and Hammerstein account for four of the selections. In addition to "You'll Never Walk Alone," from "Carousel" Lawrence Welk and his Champagne Music Makers perform "People Will Say We're in Love" from "Oklahoma," "Getting To Know YOu" from "TheKing and I" and the title song of "The Sound of Music." Other songs from Broadway in this collection are "Where or When" from Rodgers and Hart's "Babes in Arms," "September Song" from Knickerbocker Holiday" by Kurt Weill and Maxwell Anderson, and "People," from the Bob Merrill-Jule Styne "Funny Girl," which has been transformed into a contemporary standard by Barbra Streisand, who is repeating her portrayal of the late Fannie Brice in the film version of the show. Completing the album are three more favorites: "Little Things Mean a Lot," and two film songs: "To Each His Own" and "Be My Love." All the tunes receive the patented Lawrence Welk treatment, which has whisked him from a Yankton, S.D. radio broadcast in 1925 to his lifetime contract at the world famous Hollywood Paladium and his long-run weekly ABC-TV program.
