The holiday season begins in a few days, and it's going to be the same old blur of unnerving family members, unappetizing meals and unwanted gifts ... and that's just Black Friday! There are a couple more holidays in there someplace, so today we're going to give you something to share - excerpts from some of our favorite comedy albums of the late 1960s-early 1970s!

Back in the early days of this blog, I did a post on Harold Arlen and his contribution to the American Songbook. In it, I included his version of "Stormy Weather" with Leo Reisman's Orchestra as well as one of my favorites by The Reigning Sound.
