The record
Budget-line RCA Camden repackaging of Cugat's plush mambo-and-rumba sound, all shimmering strings and castanets built for swaying rather than serious listening. A guest-vocalist grab bag -- Abbe Lane's sultry lead alongside Dinah Shore and Dorothy Miller -- turns it into easy-listening exotica for the hi-fi living room set.
