Compiling a CD and need some suggestions.

[David Conwill]

I've got these tracks so far:

1) Papa Loves Mambo - Perry Como
2) Magic Moments - Perry Como
3) Find a Wheel - Perry Como
4) Old Cape Cod - Patti Paige
5) You Belong to Me - Patti Paige
6) Betty Co-Ed - Rudy Vallee
7) Standin' on the Corner - The Four Lads
8) Istanbul, Not Constantinople - The Four Lads
9) Moments to Remember - The Four Lads
10) Goodnight, Sweetheart - The MacGuire Sisters
11) Muskrat Ramble - The MacGuire Sisters

I'm not sure what else to add. Maybe you have some suggestions for what will go with this stuff? It's all upbeat and mostly post war (excuse the Rudy Vallee, but I've had a hankering to have that on CD for a while). I'd like to have around twenty tracks when I'm done.

Other early 1950s songs you might like:

"Come On a My House"- Rosemary Clooney
"Lover"- Peggy Lee
"Wish You Were Here"-- Eddie Fisher
"Wheel of Fortune"--Kay Starr
"Mona Lisa"-- Nat King Cole
My Foolish Heart"--Billy Eckstine
"That's Amore"-- Dean Martin
"Tennessee Waltz"--Patti Page
"How High the Moon"--Les Paul & Mary Ford
"Rags To Riches"--Tony Bennett

Kings of Swing the Milenium Anthology 3 CD set

My favorite CD is a compilation of Glenn Miller, Count Basie and Duke Ellington. some of the highlights are "The Devil and the Deep Blue Sea" "I'm tired of Waitin'for You" and "Fancy Meetin' You"
