On Billy Vaughn Plays the Million Sellers, the hits he plays are not his own.
The harmonica on "Ruby" creates a moment of interest, but Vaughn's plain and muted approach throughout is less compelling than the orchestrations of some of his competitors.
Nonetheless, Billy Vaughn Plays the Million Sellers, with its collection of famous tunes in one convenient package, was a popular album.

Vaughn did many of his own arrangements, but during the 1960s, he began to rely on other Dot house arrangers such as Milt Rogers, as well as freelancers Jimmie Haskell, Jack Pleis, and Jerry Gray.
Like Dot's other leading band leader and cover factory, Lawrence Welk, Vaughn tended to have a consistent, predictable sound, a little heavier on the sax section than Welk.
As Vaughn's popularity faded in the US, it grew in Germany and Japan, and he took bands on tours of each country several times.

I am trying to find a CD that lives up to my memories of a Billy Vaughn LP from the early 1960's (I believe the word "golden" was in the title and that the cover showed Billy V. with a shining saxophone), so admittedly I start with a bias.
I miss the gutsy, exhilarating sax playing that I recall from that earlier recording, particularly in cuts such as "Sail along silv'ry moon," even though this one is in stereo.
