I recorded with Sinatra, but the recording business is a very strange strata right now.

I worked with practically everybody in the business in all of the years in NBC, but I worked personally many years with people like Crosby and Sinatra, so of course that was a great ground school for me.

Symphonic orchestras have almost become a glut in the market.

Although we are being presented in Carnegie Hall, we have to furnish a budget for our guest stars, and for the music writing - which is a huge budget in any orchestra that plays popular music.

It's happening right now... it's just not on film, it's not being recorded.

The duet with Frank Sinatra, 'What Now My Love,' is one of my favorites.
