Notes

John Waldo Green, professionally called Johnny Green, was a composer, musical arranger and pianist whose most famous song was Body And Soul. During his college years, Mr. Green had led the Gold Coast Orchestra, which had created dance arrangements for the Guy Lombardo band. Additionally, Mr. Green had composed Coquette, which was his first song hit for the Lombardo orchestra.

Throughout the 1930s, Mr. Green had done numerous arrangements at Paramount Pictures, Carnegie Hall and Astoria Studios in New York City. Furthermore, Mr. Green spent a year in London where contributed songs to both Mr. Whittington, a musical comedy at the London Hippodrome, and Big Business, the first musical comedy ever written for BBC Radio.

A few years after Mr. Green had returned to the USA, he decided to permanently relocate to Los Angeles where he became renowned for changing the overall sound of the MGM Symphony Orchestra by changing the seating arrangement for some of the musicians. Then, Mr. Green became the musical director of MGM where he produced the film score of Raintree Country, which happens to be a tune of this disc that did NOT sell well. Regardless, Mr. Green still won the Oscar award for the musical scores of Easter Parade, An American in Paris, West Side Story, and Oliver.

Finally, this was the penultimate (second-to-last) MGM disc of 33.33 rpm thru which the front jacket had indicated in the upper right angle, the MGM logo inside a circle just below the caption "A High Fidelity Recording" followed by the catalog ID number.
