Gosh, MM....you brought back some memories....Did you ever hear this album...? Switched-On Bach is a musical album by Wendy Carlos and Benjamin Folkman, produced by Carlos and Rachel Elkind and released in 1968 by Columbia Masterworks Records. It played a key role in popularizing classical music performed on electronic synthesizers, which had until then been relegated to experimental and "pop" music. This fostered a significant increase in interest in electronically rendered music in general, and the Moog synthesizer in particular. Switched-On Bach was one of the first classical albums to sell 500,000 copies. Entering Billboard's pop Top 40 charts on March 1, 1969, it climbed quickly to the Top 10; it stayed in the Top 40 for 17 weeks, [2] and in the Top 200 for more than a year. In the 1970 Grammy Awards, the album took three prizes: Best Classical Album, Best Classical Performance – Instrumental Soloist or Soloists (with or without orchestra) and Best Engineered Classical Recording. I had NO idea that it was one of the first classical albums that sold that many copies back in those years.... More here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Switched-On_Bach
