'Istanbul (Not Constantinople) by Joe 'Fingers' Carr.

A track from the Ultra-Lounge compilation CD "Space Capades", issued in 1996.
This is the first half of what is a two-part track on the CD. My personal liking is for this bit and not the whole lot!

Lou Busch (né Louis Ferdinand Bush; July 18, 1910 – September 19, 1979) was an American record producer, musician and songwriter, best known for performing as a pianist under the pseudonym Joe "Fingers" Carr.

After his tour of duty in WW2, Busch returned to the music business. It was around this time that singer-songwriter Johnny Mercer was recruiting artists and employees for his recently formed label, Capitol Records, so Busch was hired for the radio transcription service in 1946.
He was in charge of production of promotional radio shows featuring Capitol artists for distribution to stations around the country. By 1949 he had been promoted to A&R man.

One summer, Busch played piano for singer Jo Stafford and conductor Paul Weston on the hit record "Ragtime Cowboy Joe". The success encouraged both him and the label to release his own original single, "Ivory Rag", early in 1950.
His biggest hits from the 1950s include "Portuguese Washerwoman", "Sam's Song", a cover of Del Wood's version of "Down Yonder", and Bert Kaempfert's international hit "Zambesi". Some of the singles include his vocal backup group, the Carr Hops. Often overlooked are several mainstream and jazz sides he recorded as Lou Busch, featuring exciting band or orchestral arrangements.
