Lawrence Welk's show, one of the most popular of all TV music programs, is a showcase for a wonderful variety of outstanding talent. One of the most appealing attractions on the show is the winsome beauty and delightful voice of Welk's "Champagne Lady", Alice Lon. In this album, you will hear a collection of Alice Lon's most beautiful vocal interpretations ... songs such as the poignant The Party's Over; the "My Fair Lady" hit, I Could Have Danced All Night; and a song that suggests a rather unusual combination, The Rock And Roll Waltz.


Alice Lon, who was first introduced as "Alice from Dallas", began singing, dancing, and playing the piano at the age of six. By the time she was ten, she was featured on her own radio show. Majoring in music in high school and junior college, she was a member of the famous riding and singing "Rangerettes."

Miss Lon became a regular attraction on TV after appearing on Don McNeill's "Breakfast Club" in Chicago. When she heard that Lawrence Welk was auditioning for a "Champagne Lady", she went to the Aragon Ballroom, began to sing, and ended the search for one of the most coveted spots on the program.

At home, Alice Lon is Mrs. Bob Waterman, a devoted wife and the mother of three boys.
