From Wikipedia:
Milton Supman (January 8, 1926 – October 22, 2009), known professionally as Soupy Sales, was an American comedian, actor, radio-television personality, and jazz aficionado. He was best known for his local and network children’s television series, Lunch with Soupy Sales (later titled The Soupy Sales Show) (1953–1966), a series of comedy sketches frequently ending with Sales receiving a pie in the face, which became his trademark. […]
One of the fans of the Soupy Sales show was Frank Sinatra. It appears Sinatra became a fan after his daughter Nancy begged him to visit the show. When Sinatra started his own record label, Reprise Records, he signed Sales to a recording contract, which produced two albums: The Soupy Sales Show in 1961 and Up in the Air in 1962.
The second album was arranged and conducted by Jimmie Haskell (1926–2016). Max Yavno provided the cover design, with art direction from Merle Shore. He used two typefaces from the catalog of the Headliners International, Inc.: the name is in caps from Safari, with interlocking pairs for UP and LE and two forms for S, while the title is in Catalina Outline.
