Tracks: Taking A Chance On Love To Each His Own They Didn't Believe Me Adios Don't Be That Way My Blue Heaven Over The Rainbow It's Delovely My Reverie All Of You About The Record: To Each His Own, is a 1966 album by Ray Anthony and his orchestra, was released by Sears in stereo and mono, featuring a collection of jazz-inflected big band renditions of standards like Taking a Chance on Love, Over the Rainbow, and the title track To Each His Own, originally a 1946 Oscar-winning song by Jay Livingston and Ray Evans. Recorded during a period when Anthony, the last surviving member of Glenn Millers orchestra, was adapting his swing style to the mid-1960s lounge and MOR (middle-of-the-road) trends, the album reflects his effort to maintain big band relevance amidst rock musics dominance. The tracklist, including Cole Porters Its Delovely and All of You, showcases Anthonys signature trumpet and lush arrangements tailored for nostalgic listeners, with Sears Authentiphonic True Dimensional Sound branding emphasizing its stereo quality. Historically significant for its release under Sears budget label rather than Capitol, where Anthony had recorded over 40 albums, it marks his pivot to accessible, department-store distribution during a transitional phase post his 1961 divorce from Mamie Van Doren. No hit singles emerged from this album, as Anthonys chart success had faded since his 1950s peaks with Dragnet and Peter Gunn.
