Bud Shank’s December 1965 recording, Michelle, consisted primarily of recent pop hits by the likes of the The Beatles, The Byrds and The Mamas and The Papas, arranged for the easy listening market by Bob Florence. Drenched in saccharine strings and given a choral backing, it proved to be a surprise hit, reaching #54 on the US album charts. “Chet showed up late, and wanted to borrow twenty dollars,” Shank later recalled. “Past that, everything was all right. He did exactly what he had to do and did it well.” http://www.funnyvalentine.org/funnyvalentine.org/Michelle.html

Personnel: Bud Shank (alto saxophone, flute); Bob Florence (arranger, conductor)
