Patti Page. Sounds American to me.

Couldn’t stand it, which is probably why I forgot the lady. :rofl:

Watched a good French movie yesterday - Little White Lies - and this was one of the soundtracks

Not heard this for a while. You forget how good they are.

Did you know that Sir Anthony Hopkins was a musician and composed a walz in 1964? I didn’t ‘til now. Dance anyone?

If you click on Classic FM below you can see/hear him playing it on the piano.

An oldie I find soothing. Roy Orbison singing Unchained Melody with The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra.

I feel a sincerity in Roy Orbison’s singing, and I love it when I see dedication, heart and soul in a musician such as Indiara Sfair.

I remember seeing that video when we were choosing our new amplifier and speakers. Moorgate Acoustics, Sheffield.

Almost half a century ago, fabulous, always been a favourite of mine despite being after the era when I really listened to music.

Mine too. Or rather it was the time when I was in Brazil listening to fabulous Brazilian music. But the joy of Youtube and the like is that I am discovering these amazing bands and their amazing live performances now, in my seventies when I have the time, and interest, to listen to them - Queen is another one. I hardly dare confess it but in the seventies I hardly noticed them - now, oh wow, they were incredible, Freddie’s live performances, just stunning.

I’ve got some exuberant vintage Cuban vinyl, from the Fifties and Sixties, but much prefer mournful Cape jazz - this sort of thing, -

Remember a great Cape Town party in Observatory where some Coloured guys just turned up and wandered around the house spontaneously playing Dollar Brand. Also remember a new Professor of Music at Rhodes U giving her inaugural lecture in the form of a two hour solo piano concert of Cape jazz. ‘Best ever inaugural’ was the general consensus.
