a talent scout for lawrence welk, who saw fountain performing at the pier 600, invited him to join welk's orchestra in los angeles, where he relocated and lived for two years. fountain became well known for his many solos on welk's abc television show, "the lawrence welk show". he was rumored to have quit when welk refused to let him "jazz up" a christmas carol on the 1958 christmas show. other accounts, including one in fountain's autobiography "a closer walk with pete fountain," indicate he in fact played a jazzy rendition of "silver bells" on the show which upset welk, leading to fountain's departure in early 1959. in an interview, fountain said he left "the lawrence welk show" because "champagne and bourbon don't mix." fountain was hired by decca records a&r head charles "bud" dant and went on to produce 42 hit albums with dant. after welk's death, fountain would occasionally join with the welk musical family for reunion shows.
