Host of a TV variety show for over 25 years Lawrence Welk described his band’s style as 'champagne music'. Last Date was one of his better selling albums. (US:4)
“My mother so enjoyed watching Lawrence Welk every Saturday. These bring back such wonderful memories for her. The music is very entertaining.”
“Mr. Welk and his 'bubbly' musical style, a format that drew more than it's fair share of ridicule from the more acerbic musical 'experts'. Among those sharing their barbs and darts with Welk were people like Pat Boone and Engelbert Humperdinck. Strangely, however, the ones just mentioned all shared one common factor: their music sold in the millions.”
“Even some of the well known hits are greatly enhanced by that touch of magic accompanied with the light and happy feel that Welk added to every one of his pieces. I have discovered through experience that most non-Welk music is like flat champagne.”
“Very nice collection of popular Welk music from the sixties. This is the kind of sound that refused to die with Mr. Welk.”
