 Prompted by the song's success, Goddard Lieberson, the producer of Columbia Records, decided to produce a studio cast album of "Pal Joey" featuring Harold Lang as Joey and Vivienne Segal reprising her role as Vera.Because of the popularity of that recording, composer-producer Jule Styne produced the 1952 revival, in which Lang and Segal starred.The 1952 revival met with greater success than the original production.
