This 1958 LP offers an astounding amount of smug, self-assured, astoundingly unimpressive-but-competent MOR music.  It was a project of Ralph Carmichael.
Carmichael was an interesting soul.  He was an arranger for Nat King Cole, among others, and the musical director for I Love Lucy for that show's final years.  He composed the scores for The Blob and 4D Man.  But besides being a music arranger, he also wrote several then-contemporary gospel songs like "He's Everything to Me" and "The Savior Is Waiting."
Still, this album is a fine compilation of aggressively non-intrusive background music.  It fits perfectly into the cultural trope "easy listening."
I hope somebody out there likes it.
The Smart Set!
