"Cherry Pink and Apple Blossom White" by Perez Prado and His Orchestra always reminds me of Spring. This mambo song was popular in 1955, and it is one of those songs that sounds so much like a different time and place. (I can imagine this playing on a hi-fi player at party in the 1950's.) I have a weakness for mid 1950's to mid 1960's instrumentals, and this is one of my favorites.
My Music Monday song this week is "Chanson D'Amour" by Art and Dotty Todd. They were a husband and wife singing duo, and they charted with this hit song in 1958. It is a lovely song, and one of my favorite classic pop tunes. It has always sounded like a song you might have heard at a cocktail party or night club in the late 1950's. It evokes a sense of time and place.
