MMM
Nice! (LPS-2117) was Recorded Aug. 1959.
Sexy, mischievous fun; very jazzy. "MMM
Nice!" was uttered by either Marni Nixon
(who played a nun in The Sound of Music),
Peggy Clark, or Sally Sweetland, a trio that
sang on all the records. The song Joie de
Vivre expresses Bob's fascination with the
freedom and fun of French culture. The cover
girl is Sandra Warner who graced the covers
of Martin Denny albums as well.
Selected Personnel: Shelly Manne (drums), Larry Bunker
(drums, perc.), Frank Capp (drums), Emil Richards
(perc.), Bud Shank (Sax), Frank Rosolino (trombone),
Ken Shroyer (trombone), Don Fagerquist (trumpet),
Al Porcino (trumpet), Alton Hendrickson (guitar),
Red Callender (horns).
Tracks: The Song is You, Younger than Springtime,
People Will Say We're in Love, They Can't Take
That Away from Me, While We're Young, The Best
Thing for you, Ain't We Got Fun, Hello, Young
Lovers, Do It Again, Joie de Vivre, I've Grown
Accustomed to Her Face, Playboy.

If only one vocal group album
could be inducted into the Space Age Pop hall
of fame, [MMM Nice!] would be it...Thompson's
own originals are the best things on the album--sexy
and playful.
