When I was a kid, say somewhere around 1968-69, we got a box of old 45s our local small town radio station was purging, I guess (my mom worked with the mom of the guy who was the morning DJ on said station). I remember we had such discs as "Hot Diggity" by Perry Como, "Red Roses For a Blue Lady" and "Can't Get Used To Losing You" by Andy Williams, "The Little Old Lady From Pasadena" by the Beach Boys. But there was this one catchy, odd instrumental record that I loved, but I had no idea what the song was titled or who recorded. It took me decades until I stumbled across it again and learned the song I loved as a kid was this -- while looking for that, I also found these interesting clips. I like those modified Dizzy bell trumpets -- kind of a gooseneck look. The man sure loved those puffy shirts! Has any one ever recorded a solo piano album of mambos? Clearly Sr. Prado was not the man for that task, but it seems like a concept that just might work.
