(1955) and Carousel (1956) and who played the leading man of Doris Day in On Moonlight Bay (1951) and sequel By The Light of the Silvery Moon (1953).
Winning a contest enabled MacRae to sing at the 1939 New York World's Fair with the Harry James and Les Brown orchestras.He made his Broadway debut in 1942, acquiring his first recording contract soon afterwards. Many of his hit recordings were made with Jo Stafford.
 He starred opposite Kathryn Grayson in the third film version of The Desert Song and teamed with Jane Powell in Three Sailors and a Girl (1953).

Perez Prado

Although the title of this L/P is "Perez Prado" there is only one track that is credited to him ! the rest of the tracks are by various other artists !..I thought maybe he recorded the tracks under different names BUT no... I "googled" the names and they were singers and musicians with the same names......The only one that seemed a bit strange was "Inconnu" which means Unknown !!
and there are 5 tracks by them...It would be interesting if anybody could shed any light on this L/P it is a MFP (Music For Pleasure) release so maybe they have dusted off the archive shelves !
If you like your Latin music then you will like this release !
