...performance as they paraded home three and one-half lengths ahead of M.I.T. and B.U. The Crimson shell was never headed. Stroke Carlo Zezza dropped his opening 42 beat start to 32 which he held for most of the race.

Capitol has also done a notable job with old-line performers, spinning them to new popularity. In 1954 Capitol went out after Frank Sinatra, then dying on the vine, talked him into coming over, and launched the Sinatra revival. Since then it has made other "cold" artists real cool: Judy Garland, Benny Goodman, Guy Lombardo, Harry James, Fred Waring. Capitol's reward: 1955 sales soared 25% over 1954 to a record...
