DJ TOM CLAY: “WHAT EVER HAPPENED TO” ‘MORE,’ ’64

Ritz Ortolani Mondo Cane (Italian) LP

 

 

TOM CLAY. In 1964, the widely-popular radio personality used to recite his composition, “What Ever Happened To,” occasionally, during his radio shows on CKLW radio. Adapted from the 1962 motion picture soundtrack album, Mondo Cane, this was the background instrumental music, track entitled, “More,” which originally Tom Clay selected to play while he read his self-authored piece to his large radio following here in Detroit.

Soundtrack music conducted by Ritz Ortolani and Nino Oliviero.
