About The Record:

Remember How Great? Volume 2, by Various Artists, is a compilation featuring a stellar lineup of mid-century vocal and easy listening stars including Jo Stafford, Percy Faith, The Chordettes, Andy Williams, Gogi Grant, Frankie Laine, Guy Mitchell, Rosemary Clooney, Tony Bennett, The Champs, Patti Page, and Cab Calloway. It gathers memorable million-sellers that capture the vibrant pop, jazz, and country crossover sounds of the era, with standout tracks such as the swinging Mr. Sandman by The Chordettes, the exotic Hawaiian Wedding Song by Andy Williams, the rollicking Tequila by The Champs, and the lively Jumpin' Jive by Cab Calloway. Historically, it serves as a nostalgic follow-up to a 1961 TV special sponsored by Lucky Strike cigarettes, where listeners could mail in empty packs for exclusive albums, making it a prime example of clever 1960s promotional tie-ins that flooded thrift stores with affordable classics. Fan favorites often include the heartfelt Because of You by Tony Bennett and the upbeat Come On-a My House by Rosemary Clooney for their enduring charm and cultural resonance.
