Oh my GOODNESS!!! WHERE did you find that???! I had no idea Frank recorded this with Dorsey! And they used it for a Lana Turner tribute...how totally perfect. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I'm playing it over and over (it's my favorite song). Sigh.

I take it back! Let me send you some rap music, instead! :P

 

I love Samba music,

 

You and your cabana boys!

 

I know you probably don't but I think you'll enjoy the pictures:

 

That was very soothing. :)

Soothing?! Ava, Lana and Rita would be insulted to hear that.

Well, I guess you know how to talk to the ladies.

 

Here's your opening tune back at you:

Absolutely not. I think many of my favorites are a mix of "hits" and lesser known or forgotten titles. And I agree, it's super hard to narrow it down. I can tell you my top three songs of all time, but it gets harder, ironically, for me to say my favorites for each decade.

 

I do listen according to my "mood" at the time. I can't force myself to listen to 80s music if I'm in a standards mood, and vice versa.

1. Violets for Your Furs

2. The Shadow of Your Smile

3. The Lady is a Tramp

 

And can you name yours, cowboy Chris?

 

> BTW, I missed your posting milestone. Way to go!

 

Thanks, kind sir. :)

It can depend on the recordings. There is one recording of a song that is great but others aren't near as good but strictly from a song, let's see.....

 

Arianne - (Johnny Mathis.)

Beggar's Game - Dan Fogelberg

Softly, As I Leave You. (Andy Williams.)

Strawberry Fields Forever. John Lennon.

 

Favorite composers include - Justin Hayward, Jimmy Webb. Christopher Cross and Alan Parsons among some others in the more modern era. Lots of standards that I don't always know the author.

That's true. I like the Tony Bennett version of "Shadow of Your Smile" and the Sinatra versions of the other two.

I am not as familiar with Arianne (that was Audrey's name in Love in the Afternoon) or Beggar's Game. I've never heard the Andy Williams version of Softly, As I Leave You. It's a lovely song.

Just as I suspected, you have wonderful taste.

 

This is my favorite Christopher Cross song:
