Today is the birthday of American pianist, arranger, composer, and conductor Paul Weston who worked in music and television from the 1930s to the 1970s, pioneering mood music and becoming known as "the Father of Mood Music".
Weston and his wife, Jo Stafford, conceived a routine to entertain their friends at parties in the 1950s that involved Weston playing songs on
the piano in unconventional rhythms, while Stafford sang off-key in a
high pitched voice. The two of them released five albums and one single as Jonathan and Darlene Edwards, and their 1960 album, Jonathan and Darlene Edwards in Paris won that year's Grammy Award for Best Comedy Album.

Weston and Stafford appeared on television twice as Jonathan and Darlene Edwards. In 1958, they were guests on the Jack Benny television program Shower of Stars, and in 1960 on The Garry Moore Show.
Shower of Stars - 1958
Their final album, Darlene Remembers Duke, Jonathan Plays Fats was released in 1982, on Corinthian Records – Cor-117.
