Les Brown

Les Brown's Band conducted The Dean Martin Show. They were strategically stationed behind two large partitions. The production staff knew we were in the presence of greatness. Legends like Playboy All -Stars Ray Brown, the Candoli brothers, drummer Ed Shaughensey, to name a few. Brown's studio band was in demand doing "gigs" for the Andy Williams Show, Jack Benny, Bob Hope Specials, and The Tonight Show. Les Brown was an easy going guy, easy to talk to, grand in stature, a giant in the music industry. We were honored week after week listening to the magic of Les Brown and His Band of Renown.
