On a lighter note!

I know it's hot as blue blazes, so get a cold drink and chill with Astrud and Stan.And let your imagination take you to Rio for a little while.

    She was my first voice-crush.... I listened to her on vinyl over and over again, and I fell in love with her voice as a young boy. Part singing, part hypnosis, her beautiful accent and punctuation/smooth alternations did me in.

    Isn't this such a wonderful - and atmospheric - song, I love it :)

    And I never knew what she looked like, nothing like I imagined actually!

    Thank you for sharing James....hope all is well with you and the Rat Pack :)

    Love that song, but isn't it amazing to hear all that rhythm and not move with it?

    Oh James, that little mind-journey to Rio was well needed. I think it's time to press replay and fill up my iced beverage. I hope you are managing well in this sweltering heat?

    Cheers x Deb

    One of the best tracks ever. I like Y-W-P have listened to this again and again, from a lad to today, and I still love it. Stan was so sweet on that horn. Have you listened to his last recording with Kenny Barron (called People Time)? ...Pure heaven. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OdiXmO-tO_o

    I love this song, especially sung by these two guys - Jazz 'round midnight is one of my favourite albums.
