Manhattan Pops Orchestra

The Manhattan Pops Orchestra was another entry in the easy listening orchestra genre, conducted and arranged by Richard Hayman, who was the Boston Pops' arranger for many years. Formed in 1963, the Manhattan Pops recorded 14 albums for Time Records (several reissued on Bainbridge), toured extensively through the '60s and into the '70s, and gradually morphed into Richard Hayman & His Orchestra working with the Naxos label. ~ Ted Mills
