Takin' You Back

Sometimes you just don't want to hear someone singing. All of today's artists are big on music but small on vocals. Let the randomness commence.

Martin Denny – The Enchanted Sea – Martin Denny was a master of Hawaiian lounge music. Along with Arthur Lyman, Denny brought lounge music to the masses. Between 1957 and 1959 Martin Denny released eight albums. Not all of them were great, but they were at least decent. Since the resurgence of lounge music in the nineties, numerous compilations have been released in the last fifteen years. Check one of them out because you won’t be disappointed.

Santo and Johnny – Maria Elena – Famous for their song "Sleepwalk," Santo and Johnny have some terrific material. From the late fifties to the late sixties the duo served up pop perfection. They were never as popular after their first famous single, but their catalog is strong none-the-less.

Dr. Samuel J. Hoffman – Possession – Dr. Hoffman brought one of the greatest instruments, the theremin, to mainstream music. This song has a theremin solo within the orchestral composition. Check it out.
