That Nelson Riddle Touch (132)
We’re putting the spotlight, once again, on the work of Nelson Riddle, one of the most in-demand arrangers of the hi-fi era. When you got Riddle to do the arranging and conducting on your album, you knew you made it. He was the go-to guy for all the big labels…Reprise, Verve, and especially Capitol Records. In fact, on many album covers Nelson Riddle’s name was only second to the singing star. On the program, we’ll hear from Nat King Cole, Jack Jones, Peggy Lee, and many more.
