Smith,Ethel First Lady Of The Hammond Organ: Plays Tico Tico CD

(2-CD set for the price of one CD) Ethel Smith took immediately to the complicated Hammond electric organ when it was first introduced in the 1930s, and made full use of the wonderful sounds which could be coaxed from it. Always a fan of Latin-American rhythms, she discovered a tune while working at the famous Copacabana in Brazil's Rio de Janeiro, and in her hands, "Tico Tico" became an international hit in 1944. Her work has been sadly neglected for many years but this generous 44 track CD will revive memories of her consummate skill. Features "Monkey On A String," the theme song for the TV show "Garfield Goose And Friends".
