40th Anniversary

A Note From Ray

There's a new sound in store for you on this album.

It was first introduced during the Ray Conniff Fan Club Convention in Basel, Switzerland on July 1, 1995. If you listen carefully, you'll hear sonorous strings sounds flowing in and out of the usual Brass, reed, Rhythm and Voice chorus patterns.

I hope you enjoy it. Happy Listenin'!

Congratulations Ray! For more than 40 years, your music has inspired and pleased people all over the world. Your latest album of Latin music will be a great addition to any Ray Conniff collection. I'll add it to mine.

                                   Warm regards,

                                 

                                   Andy Williams

Felicidades Ray por esos cuarente años de trabajo y de exito.

Espero que sigas dandonos muchos mas.

I would like to congratulate Ray Conniff on this very special occasion in his very succesful and long career as a recording artist. As a young man of 20 years, I met Ray. And under his direction and arrangements, I recorded "It's Not For Me To Say", "Chances Are", "When Sunny Gets Blue", "Wonderful, Wonderful", etc, etc, etc. You get the picture!!! Our collaboration resulted in the most important recordings of my career.

Ray Conniff is my dear friend and treasure.
