Ronnie Price - Bewitched (track)

Pianist Ronnie Price (1923-1996) became one of the U.K.'s most sought after session musicians after playing in dance band and jazz outfits led by Teddy Foster, Tito Burns and Sydney Lipton, among others. Later he was music director for singer Anne Shelton and played in the big band of Don Lusher.

Among the artists Price backed on record were Sammy Davis, Jr., Bing Crosby and Andy Williams. Price was amazingly versatile, playing everything from jazz to easy listening to light classics. He made numerous easy listening recordings that were included in Reader's Digest LP box sets, such as Cocktail Piano Time (1970). Bewitched is from that set.

Several of Ronnie Price's Reader's Digest tracks are available for download, but Bewitched isn't among them. Some of the Reader's Digest tracks were issued on a 1997 CD set called Moonlight Piano, available in the Amazon Marketplace.

And there is this CD also for sale in the Amazon Marketplace for about $12 for a used copy. It appears to be in a similar vein.

Here's a selection from The Dancing Piano of Ronnie Price, an LP issued in 1984.
