Dedicated to Nelson is a 1996 album by singer Rosemary Clooney, dedicated to the arranger Nelson Riddle. Clooney's television show from 1956-57 featured arrangements by Riddle, and a selection of those original Riddle arrangements are presented here, performed by a big band. Arrangers Eddie Karam and David Berger assisted with expanding arrangements that had been shorter in their original television show incarnations, and with transcribing the arrangements (the sheet music of which had not been preserved) from the recorded television audio.
Riddle also arranged two studio albums by Clooney, Rosie Solves the Swingin' Riddle! from 1960, and 1963's Love. Clooney and Riddle had an affair lasting several years, which contributed to the breakup of their respective marriages.[2]
