Nelson Riddle chronology

C’mon . . . Get Happy! was Nelson Riddle’s fourth studio album, released in October 1957.^[1]

Origin

C’mon…Get Happy! followed quickly on the heels of Riddle's “Hey...Let Yourself Go!,” which had been released six months earlier, in April 1957, and had enjoyed commercial success. The album liner notes characterized the new collection as “some of the brightest, most danceable music ever,” with “sparkling, up-tempo numbers.”^[2]

Reception

One reviewer observed that “most of this album's 12 songs are upbeat and enthusiastic, and even the slower numbers boast a purposeful swing and the arrangements are punchy and gracefully embroidered with exceptional instrumental work from Riddle's studio orchestra.”^[3]

Like “Hey…Let Yourself Go!”, “C’mon…Get Happy!” reached number 20 on the Billboard chart.^[4]
