"Merry-Go-Round-Waltz," 1949
Add to SetSummary
Guy Lombardo and His Royal Canadians gained international success through their prolific recordings produced between 1927 and 1952. Lombardo, a Canadian-American of Italian descent, was one of several bandleaders whose dance bands performed this waltz. By the time it was released in 1949, merry-go-rounds were a nostalgic throwback to an earlier time when adults--rather than children--enjoyed riding them.
