Of the sun and the beach, the warm sand and the subsequent cooling bath in the sea. Or the warm summer nights under the blue moon in the nature smelling of blossoms. Would you enjoy a warm summer breeze? The themes surrounding the most beautiful season of the year are almost immeasurable. This is shown especially in the music on Bear Family's already fourth summer compilation! The perfect soundtrack, suitable for all summer activities!Put On A Happy Face demands the legendary crooner Tony Bennett right at the beginning and fitting for the summer. Bennett, like Eydie Gorme and Don Cherry, is on the roster of pop artists in this compilation. There are also classics by the Brothers Four, Keely Smith, Tito Puente and others
