This compilation represents Bue classics, originally released as singles in the period 1958-69, and issued on CD here for the first time.The music here is very diverse, including folk songs, light classical music, TV and movie themes, gospel, spirituals, German children's songs and European and American evergreens. Already way back in 1958, with the release of their smash single"Schlafe Mein Prinzchen" (which sold over a million copies), Papa Bue's Viking Jazzband was on its way to becoming one of the best and most successful traditional jazz bands in Europe. Inevitably, their fame also spread to the U.S. and this superb compilation shows just what an amazing band they were.
