Although "Fly Me to the Moon" was not of Latin-American origin, it was an early song adapted to the bossa nova dance then becoming popular, and so associated at the time with Latin America.
A Columbia 45RPM single, #4-43278, was released to coincide with the album. It featured How Insensitive as the A-side and Meditation as the B-side. Neither song charted.
The songs were arranged by Mort Garson, who also conducted the orchestra.
The album was reissued in 2001, combined with Doris Day's Sentimental Journey, as a CD.
