Arthur Lyman




Known for his Vibraphone stylings, bird songs and bells, Lyman helped turn exotic music into a national trend in the 1950s and 1960s, producing more than 30 albums and almost 400 singles and earning three gold albums.

In 1957, Lyman recorded " Yellow Bird ," originally a Haiti an song, which made the Billboard Magazine charts, peaking at #4 in 1961.

Lyman's last charting album in 1963 was ''I Wish You Love'', but his music enjoyed a new burst of popularity in the 1990s with the Easy Listening revival. He died from throat cancer in February 2002.
