Today’s “Tuesday’s Terrific Track” is a recording by none other than The Velvet Fog himself, Mel Torme. I, like many of my generation no doubt, was introduced to Mel Torme through the late, great 80’s sitcom “Night Court“. Judge Harry Stone idolized Mel Torme, who would be mentioned in episodes from time to time and appeared in at least one cameo (that I can recall) on the show.

Mel was bestowed the nickname “Velvet Fog” because of his smooth singing style, mostly in the jazz genre. Today’s track, a little jingle entitled “Pepsi Is For Swingers”, will give you a taste of the “Fog”. Arranged by Bob Thompson, a pioneer of the Space Age Bachelor Pad sound, the jingle was apparently never used by Pepsi for fear of the other well-known definition of “swingers”. Enjoy.
