AMC MAD MEN Kyo Sakamoto Sukiaki ..Jon Hamm as Don Draper & Elizabeth Tsing is the waitress very easy on the eyes



AMC MAN MEN 'not tonite '....Jon Hamm as Don Draper & Elizabeth Tsing is the waitress very easy on the eyes as the sterling cooper boys would say

AMC Mad Men Kyo Sakamoto Sukiaki that great song from last week show Aug 3 2008,from 1961 Japan's only top ten in the USa..wow great scene..Don Draper at his best...Don's waitress at the Japanese restaurant asks if he wants her to swing back around on her way out. "Not tonight," he replies. Don Draper is the Creative Director at the Sterling Cooper advertising agency Sukiyaki by Kyu Sakomoto, a hauntingly beautiful and memorable song, definitely appropriate for the setting. The only problem is that the song was not released in the U.S. until May 1963, and reached Number on on Billboard in June 1963. Although it was released in Japan in 1961, seems nearly impossible that it would have been background music at a NY restaurant anytime before May of 1963. Elizabeth Tsing is the waitress I believe...

With its soft-blanket strings and romantic bent, Gleason's orchestra was perfectly suited for Christmas music. His haunting arrangements make for some wonderful interpretations, especially the wistful baritone chorus of "White Christmas" and a dreamy reworking of "Santa Claus Is Comin' to Town." One of the warmest holiday albums of all time.

Pure Holiday swingin stuff from Dean Martin -- Jimmy Bowen's at the helm of the record, working with arrangements by Ernie Freeman and Bill Justis
