Here is a new Christmas share called Christmas Songs For Young Hearts. The singer is listed as Gene Martin and the band as The Arthur Carre Orchestra. Many of the Caroleer Records releases were intended to sound like popular artists on the major labels. This is clearly a Dean Martin and I think it does sound like him. It's a pretty cool record, quite enjoyable. I wish I had been around in those days to try and trick people by using names similar to famous people. I think I would put out a Bang Crosby and maybe a Maryrose Clooney! What fake names would you have used? Please post some ideas.

This is a pretty nice record. Has some bouncy arrangements ..
I like Gene Martin, but he was never quite as good after he split from his partner Barry Lewis

And I used to really enjoy those Barry Lewis telethons when I was a kid :0)

If I had to use a fake name I'd go for:
Leggy Pee

I listened to this a bit, and it doesn't sound like Gene Martin. To me it sounds like Larry Como.
