Sid and Marty Krofft's Les Poupees de Paris is the Grammy-nominated soundtrack from an elaborate puppet show performed on tour and at the 1964 World's Fair. With the voices of Pearl Bailey, Milton Berle, Cyd Charisse, Annie Fargé, Gene Kelly, Liberace, Jayne Mansfield, Tony Martin, Phil Silvers, Loretta Young and Edie Adams, the score features music and lyrics by Sammy Cahn and James Van Heusen. Known for bringing a psychedelic sensibility to children's TV with shows like "The Banana Splits Adventure Hour," "H.R. Pufnstuf" and "Land of the Lost," the Krofft's got their start with similar puppet shows performed in nightclubs. Sammy Cahn and James Van Heusen, the multi award-winning Songwriter's Hall of Fame duo, are known as the team behind some of Frank Sinatra's most famous hits including "Come Fly with Me," "Only the Lonely," and "Come Dance with Me." Sid and Marty Krofft's Les Poupees de Paris will be officially released for the first time on CD in the U.S. July 8, with streaming and downloads available the same day.
