Enoch Light

Enoch Light was a popular bandleader of the 1940s and '50s who is best known for his Persuasive Percussion and Provocative Percussion albums of the mid-'50s. They were some of the first albums to exploit the capabilities of stereo recording and the practice of using 35mm film as a recording medium instead of tape. During the '30s, he headed the Enoch Light and the Light Brigade big band. The Light Brigade primarily played in theaters and on the radio, although they also toured Europe. The band also managed a hit in 1937 with "Summer Night," which was sung by Johnny Muldowney....
