Bandleader Lawrence Welk, with his 'Champagne Pops' Orchestra, makes yet another appearance in the US album chart with Wonderful! Wonderful!. It is bang up to date, including a cover of Bob Dylan's Don't Think Twice Its Alright. Extraordinarily popular in the States during the 1950s and 1960s his easy listening music is little heard now. (US:29)

"You can't beat a professional like Lawrence Welk."

"I have always enjoyed listening to Mr. Welk's music. His orchestra is one of the best in the industry. They are absolutely the greatest."

"If you are nostalgic for 'beautiful music', Lawrence Welk is for you."

"I can't wait to hear more from him. He's such a genius."

"This album explores some of the many styles with which Welk was so fluent."
