(April 15, 1957), Ray and Mitch Miller realized that they had made a mistake. Listeners were disappointed that Ray's second Lp didn't feature the same style and sound as 's Wonderful. So Mitch asked Ray to write arrangements as fast as he possibly could for a new album similar to 'S Wonderful!
Ray had to spend around ten hours writing the arrangement for each song . The recording sessions began on August 16, 1957 with "You Do Something To Me," "They Can't Take That Away From Me," "I've Told Ev'ry Little Star" and "Where Or When." During this time Ray was constantly arranging and conducting for Columbia vocalists. On August 20, he recorded two songs with The Landon Sisters and two "Jay Raye" recordings ("Finesse" and "Steel Guitar Rock") for Epic. He resumed his album sessions on August 29 with "Be My Love," "I Hear A Rhapsody," "In The Still Of The Night" and "The Way You Look Tonight." Three more followed on September 6: "As Time Goes By," "Someone To Watch Over Me" and "Moonlight Serenade." The final session took place on September 13 and included "I Love You" plus two extra songs: "Park Avenue Beat" (Theme from Perry Mason) and "Symphony Of Love."
's Marvelous was produced by George Avakian. Ray worked with the engineers on the mix for the monaural release of the Lp (CL 1074) which was released on November 4, 1957. The album was remixed for stereo the following year and released on September 15, 1958 after the stereo releases of 's Awful Nice and Concert In Rhythm (which explains the out of sequence catalog number: CS 8037). The engineer who remixed the album used the wrong take of "I Love You" which appears on the stereo Lp and CD. The album was RIAA certified Gold on July 19, 1962.
's Marvelous charted on Billboard on 12/23/57, reached #10 and charted for 34 weeks (Joel Whitburn's Record Research).
