You've heard a few different versions of songs from "You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown", on this blog, but this one is special to me because it's the first version of the songs I heard when I was a kid. You've only got two people doing the singing duties here, but they still do quite a nice job. Hope you like it!
Here's the track list:
- You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown
- Little Known Facts
- Suppertime
- My Blanket and Me
- Charlie Brown's Kite
- The Baseball Game
- Snoopy
- Schroeder
- Doctor Lucy
- Happiness

Hey, I found this post while searching for information about a different Happy Time Record. This one is listed in the Happy Time discog but the cover you show says pickwik. I read that happy time was a division of pickwik, but does the rear cover say anything about happy time records?
Ok, so this is pretty random record ephemera, but I'm curious to know as a proud owner of a few Happy Time Records and a collector of children's records.
No, I didn't see anything about Happy Time Records on the back cover. It just mentioned Pickwick there.

Thank you for sharing! I love reading your posts. It's a lot of fun!
Hearing this made me feel both young and old. My High School had Charlie Brown for the all-school play when I was a Junior. I was the prompter and understudy for Snoopy. A neighbor of mine played Charlie Brown. One of my classmates played Linus-here's the old part-he passed away from cancer this year. I've spoken to the friend who played Snoopy in the past year, he still lives in the old home town.
Brian, I accidentally deleted your comment, so I'm putting it back here. Sorry!
Contrary to your discription, there were at least 4 performers on the album. The 2 distinctive voices were those of the late Ron Marshall (as Charlie Brown...he also did the voice of Mr. Thistlewhite who sang "I Believe in Santa Claus" in the Rankin/Bass special "The Year Without a Santa Claus") and the late Connie Zimet (as Lucy).
To JoshuaJon: Pickwick repeated the title song on their Happy Time label series; but they had only the song, and the rest were a compilation of previously recorded materials.
Hi Brian!
Marshall and Zimet are the only singers named on the album. After I thought about it, all the guys sounded pretty similar, and so did all the girls. I could be wrong (It certainly wouldn't be the first time.) but I'm pretty sure it's just those two doing all the voices.
