The book includes remembrances of Hecky Krasnow's working relationships with such legendary artists as Gene Autry, Rosemary Clooney, Dinah Shore, Nina Simone, Art Carney, Jos??? Ferrer, Burl Ives, Arthur Godfrey, and Captain Kangaroo. In addition to his profound influence on the children's record industry-an enormous business during the mid-twentieth century-Hecky also produced, wrote, or engineered such adult fare as Rosemary Clooney's "Come On-a My House" and "Me and My Teddy Bear"; Nina Simone's classic album The Amazing Nina Simone ; and the landmark Chad Mitchell Trio debut, The Chad Mitchell Trio Arrives! Set against the dramatic backdrop of McCarthyism, the Cold War, the Civil Rights Movement, and the birth of television and rock and roll, Rudolph, Frosty, and Captain Kangaroo is rich in anecdotes about the politics and history of the era, the stars Hecky produced, and an array of talented composers and conductors with whom Hecky collaborated, including Mitch Miller, Johnny Marks, Percy Faith, J. Fred Coots, Tommy Johnson, Sir Thomas Beecham, Rudolph Goehr, Andr??? Kostelanetz, and Arthur Fiedler.
