Filtered through a champagne lens glazed with a patina of playful grey bubbles, Lawrence Welk’s toes-a-tappin’ world defined the 1950s for a sizeable segment of America. The bandleader and accordionist commanded an easy listening empire, introducing the country to a parade of effervescent vocal groups and Welk’s own cozy catch phrases "wunnerful, wunnerful" and "ah-one and ah-two." Welk’s show soldiered on for decades, giving suburbanites a sheltered, wholesome oasis as times changed and/or grew more turbulent. The final LAWRENCE WELK SHOW aired in 1982, but the octogenarian continued to host specials almost up until his death from pneumonia at 89.
Lawrence Welk has also released music as a member of Lawrence Welk & His Champagne Music, Lawrence Welk's Novelty Orchestra, and Lawrence Welk and His Orchestra.
