Van Damme first recorded “You Stepped Out of a Dream” in 1961.

Our Youtube provider says:

Art on his 81st birthday performing a quartet concert in Detroit USA in 2001. Notice the wrist band he got after a game of golf that afternoon, but the show must go on. Art VanDamme is credited with single-handedly diversifying the repertoire of the accordion at a time when its popularity was restricted to polkas and folk music. His career includes a 15 year stint at NBC Chicago, numerous LP recordings, and extensive nightclub work and concert appearances throughout the USA and Europe.

Acoustic jazz by an unknown band consisting of, says the provider, Tom Clark – sax, Monika Herzig – piano, Peter Kienle – bass, Lawrence Clark – drums.
