Dust jacket notes: "For over fifty years Guy Lombardo and the Royal Canadians have been playing 'the sweetest music this side of heaven' to ever-faithful and ever-expanding audiences. The Royal Canadians, in fact, so much influenced the music of their day that they changed the very style of dance music - and became the most frequently imitated band in the business. This is the story of the man behind that music and the band that has become an American tradition.

His is the one popular dance band that has withstood the test of time - year after year playing in the same tempos and often the same songs. Today's generation may know him only from the New Year's broadcasts from the Grand Ballroom at the Waldorf-Astoria in New York, others know him from radio, and still many more know the Royal Canadians from the Big Band Era when couples danced cheek to cheek and tapped their toes to the melodic strains and golden melodies from the big band stands....That same joy comes back year after year to millions of people.
=====
But what is the secret of Guy Lombardo's success? What is so special about a group that has lasted through the '70s and is one of the very few dance bands that has survived so long and so well? How has the Guy Lombardo band managed to last these fifty years? All these and other questions are answered by the warm and sentimental man who has made New Year's Eve a very special occasion."
