Ernie Freeman

* Born 16 August 1922, Cleveland, Ohio * Died 15 May 1981, Beverly Hills, California Although Ernie Freeman is best known for his work with Frank Sinatra in the mid-1960s, space age pop fans should check out his own instrumental albums, particularly those cleared targeted for heavy rotation at dance parties in the early 1960s. Limbo Dance Party and Comin' Home Baby (with a Top 100-charting cover of Mel Torme's tune) will definitely get you out there doing a Pee-Wee Herman dance (in the privacy of your own home, of course).
