DIED. Guy Lombardo, 75, Canadian-born bandleader who for 48 years ushered in the New Year with "the sweetest music this side of heaven"; in Houston. When he was twelve, Lombardo recruited his brothers Carmen and Lebert for a small band that played for dances in London, Ont. After a so-so success, they were invited to play at an Elks' convention in Cleveland and stayed on in the U.S. Billed as Guy Lombardo and his Royal Canadians, the group developed a smoothly distinctive sound that was heard coast to coast on radio, sold over 100 million records...

The chorus consisted of such New York City boosters as Polly Bergen, Robert Merrill, Ruby Dee, Celeste Holm and Guy Lombardo. They all assembled at a recording studio to perform one number, a snappily chauvinistic tune called Mad About You Manhattan. Sample lyric: "A double-decker bus is fun in Piccadilly Square/ But I prefer a subway car to take me everywhere." The idea is that the record will make money...
