Beautiful Music was a selling point for radio stations and records back then. Years ago I read excerpts from a book about the Beautiful Music and Easy Listening marketing from the 50s through the early 70s. It was a pdf from an old friend.

@krys - This is such a great way to pay tribute to your mom. When my grandparents passed I went through a phase of listening only to Rodgers and Hart because those are songs my grandma taught me when I was little. Condolences again on your loss.

I babysat for a family in the late 70s and the husband listened to it too. It struck me as odd because by that time as a teenager I'd been exposed to so much punk and alternative music.
