Description
Glasgow native and WKU alum Billy Vaughn found fame with the Hilltoppers Quartet in 1952 when he asked three other students to record one of his songs. The rest, as they say, is history. Vaughn went on to form his on big band, tour the country and release over 25 albums of jazz and pop standards. This record released in 1957 is no exception. It contains standards by composers Johnny Mercer, Cole Porter and Hoagy Carmichael.
