And; or, The Peter Duchin Story


Duchin's music was much heard on middle of the road radio in the late 1960s and early 1970s from albums and singles released on the Decca, Bell and Capitol labels. – Wikipedia


Peter Duchin, with his busy band,

Found a style so anodyne and bland,

That though he might be criticism of panned,

There never was a danger that his brand,

Would ever be anathemized of banned;

And easy listening radio when it spanned

From East to West across our spacious land

Was sure to have some Duchin discs at hand.
