Ăber Ray Conniff
Vocal pop and easy listening icon Ray Conniff was an international star with a career spanning eight decades.
â Conniff got his start as a trombonist and arranger in the 1930s, working with such swing-era jazz artists as Bunny Berigan, Bob Crosby, Artie Shaw, and Glen Gray.
â After pop producer Mitch Miller hired him as an in-house arranger at Columbia Records in 1954, Conniff contributed to hits by Don Cherry, Johnny Mathis, and Guy Mitchell.
â Buoyed by his success behind the scenes, he persuaded Columbia to let him record a solo album, and he debuted in 1956 with âS Wonderful!, which spent nearly a year on the charts.
â He scored his first Gold album with 1957âs âS Marvelous, and 1966âs Somewhere My Love was his first Platinum-certified LP.
â Conniffâs biggest hit was âSomewhere, My Love (Laraâs Theme from âDr. Zhivagoâ),â which reached No. 9 on the Billboard Hot 100 and won a Grammy for Best Performance by a Chorus.
â In 1974, he recorded Ray Conniff in Moscow with members of local vocal ensembles, becoming the first Western pop artist to make an album in the USSR.
â Enamored with Latin sounds, he recorded numerous Spanish-language albums and built a large following in South America, where he continued touring regularly through the 1990s.
