Comment on TED MORRIS UND SEIN ORCHESTER, Der verliebte Gockel, 1960 by Kurt L - KL in NYC

Hi.
This music isn’t “swing” music. It came after “Sweet” music (Guy Lombardo, Wayne King, and that music in The Little Rascals movies of the 1930s).
Most people in the US would immediately associate this style with Lawrence Welk, who was a famous American bandleader who grew up in a US German community and didn’t learn English until he was in his teens (so he always had a German accent).
He called the style “Champagne” music, and he has tons of LPs on Dot Records. (His earlier recordings on Coral, a division of US Decca, might not be as clearly defined as “Champagne” music because that recording contract was more restrictive.)
He had a long-running national TV show in which his orchestra featured soloists on accordion and honky-tonk piano.
Throughout the early1950s to late-1960s, his music was very popular with senior citizens.
You might want to look him up, if you haven’t already.
