Essential Classics, Vol. 19: Ray Conniff is a digital compilation album by legendary bandleader and musician Ray Conniff .

Joseph Raymond Conniff (November 6, 1916 – October 12, 2002)   known by the stage name Ray Conniff ,was an American bandleader and arranger best known for his Ray Conniff Singers during the 1960s. He developed a unique sound taking advantage of stereo LP recording combining wordless chorus with brass and woodwinds reinterpreting American standards. The recorded sounds shifted the balance of instruments in a way that could not be heard in live performance, for example balancing a harp or rhythm guitar against a full brass ensemble.

Notable tracks are :

S.W.A.T. (Theme)Brazil
Beyond the Sea
Bésame Mucho 
The Way You Look Tonight
Chanson D'amour (Song of Love)
