I would second that motion-except for Artie Shaw's Begin the Beguine.

As Duke Ellington often said, "one more time."

Jussi Björling & Robert Merrill - Pearl Fishers duet.

 

[Rundquist]

The Four Freshmen sure straddled the line between being jazz-hip and the “whitest” group on the planet. For the most part, I like to think of them as really hip. There’s just no denying that they had awesome harmony. The lead-voice-on-top sound was heavily borrowed by Brian Wilson of the Beach Boys.

This was always one of my favorites.

About thirty years ago I recorded onto cassette tapes the BBC's version of some of Chandler's books. It was broadcast over KCRW here in southern California. It was fun listening to the English talking "American." Probably as much fun to the English listening to Yanks talk like them...
The adaptations have faded from memory, but I do remember they used Artie Shaw's "Nightmare" as a general theme for the various episodes.

 

[HadleyH]

For a bit of a change, from the movie "Dick Tracy"1980s Madonna...

Kris Kristofferson on the old Hi-Fi tonite.

-
I saw him a few years ago (at Penrith Leagues Club) & I'll tell you what - for a 69 year old, he is the most charismatic performer I have seen in along time. One of those moments where you realise that you are lucky to be there.
