The decade of Perry Como recordings that is covered in this album is the heart of one of the most fabulous careers in show business annals. These performances run from the rising Como of May 1945 to the settled, assured star of September 1956. Spread across the years between these two dates are some of the most enduring tunes in the repertory of popular songs sung by the man who has made a career of relaxation. Perry had just come into his own when he made the first of these records. After six years as a vocalist with Ted Weems' band, Perry had been on the verge of going back to barbering in 1942, when he was offered a sustaining radio show of his own at $100 a week. He took it. The next year he made his first record for RCA, Goodbye Sue, and in 1945, he got his first million copy seller, 'Till the End of Time. The knowing way in which Perry has picked his songs since then is exemplified by this cannily mixed program of evergreen standards and warmly melodic show tunes, and the well-established older songs.
