About The Record:

It’s not a New Year’s Eve without Auld Lang Syne and Guy Lombardo. It’s an international tradition and it's featured on this classic LP, New Year's Eve with Guy Lombardo and His Royal Canadians. The lyrics were written by Scottish poet Robert Burns in the 1700s. It literally means “old long ago” or simply, “the good old days.” The song was popularized by the Canadian-born band leader of Italian descent who broadcasted on radio and television. Lombardo hosted 48 consecutive New Year’s Eve programs from New York’s Roosevelt Hotel and later the Waldorf-Astoria with swells dancing cheek to jowl in tuxedos and funny hats.
