[78-L] In The Mood

[Cary Ginell]

According to "The Andrews Sisters" by H. Arlo Nimmo, "In the Mood" was recorded with Nelson Riddle & his Orchestra on July 7, 1952. Release # was Decca 28482. There is also a version on the Dot LP "The Andrews Sisters, Greatest Hits, Vol. 2," with new arrangements by Allyn Ferguson & his Orchestra, released in September 1963 (Dot DLP-3543). Those are the only two versions listed that the girls recorded. LaVerne Andrews died on May 8, 1967, but the sisters performed together up until the fall of 1966. 

 

(Attention Mike Biel: the author notes that the Dot album was a COVER of their Decca hits...)

 

I can see smoke coming out of Professor Biel's ears now....Slowly he turned...
