Cocktail Connection (121)
Cocktails, the cocktail hour, and hi-fi music of the Atomic Age were all inseparable. The perfect pairing of music and activity. This was not lost on artists and record companies. Just look at any record catalog of the 1950s and early 1960s and there so many albums with the name “Cocktail” in their titles. It was code, really. “Cocktail Music” became this shorthand to explain the light orchestration and easy mood music that was so popular during the era. So, this week, it's songs just right to sip champagne to. We’ll hear from Petula Clark, Allan Sherman, Hugo Montenegro, and many more.
