Listen to "Donny Most Swings And Swings 2017" on Spreaker. In the tradition of Sinatra, Dino, Darin & more “Happy Days” star Don Most, announces plans to release his 3rd swinging CD, D. Most: Mostly Swinging on Feb 14th, 2017. Donny Most may be best known for his role as Ralph in the long running television series “Happy Days,” but he was singing long before he started working with Ron Howard, Henry Winkler and Garry Marshall. Most recently, he’s released “C'est Si Bon,” digitally as a “single” on iTunes, in advance of a special Christmas CD titled “Swinging Down The Chimney Tonight” (Summit Records). In February, Most will release "D Most: Mostly Swinging" which will include Blue Skies, Let's Fall In Love, Lover Come Back To Me, After You've Gone, Day In Day Out, The Tender Trap, I Got It Bad And That Ain't Good, Clementine, Bewitched, Bothered & Bewildered, I Wish I Were In Love Again, Any Other Way (original) and bonus tracks of C'est Si Bon and One For My Baby (with piano only). "Mostly Swinging” is not Ralph Malph goofing around vocally at Arnold's Drive In Restaurant on “Happy Days.” Donny Most's voice is deep and rich, with a sincere delivery, complemented by crisp big band and lush orchestral arrangements. In addition to covering many standards, be sure to check out the original "Any Other Way," which sounds like it could have been from a classic black and white film and stands up with the best of them."-Warren Kurtz/Contributing Editor for Goldmine - The Music Collector's Magazine Yes, it's true. Don truly has vocal chops and he has a wonderful way of delivering each standard in a way that no one else can. No matter how often you have heard that song before, it is as though you’rr are hearing it for the first time, and loving every second of it! Whether it is a ballad, or swinging favorites like Clementine and Mack the Knife, audiences know they are in for a treat with the first note. Donny has been touring regularly with his band, performing his “Sings and Swings: Sinatra, Dino, Darin & more” show. In this performance, Donny delivers music from Sinatra and Darin, to Dean Martin and Nat King Cole and others from that era. He even shares a few stories and quips from his tenure on the television hit series “Happy Days.” As an actor, Don was seen in a recurring role on the hit TV show “Glee”, as well as recently starring in the indie film, “The Yankles” and “Chez Upshaw” with Kevin Pollack and Illeana Douglas.
