Good morning from a quiet Florida.

edgar, Loved your song. Don't know Marvin Rainwater, but his name holds a promise. I'll watch for that blue bird, Texas.

Ah, Brit. Clio Laine and her daughter Jacqui are great. Nice jazz and thanks for the comments. One doesn't have to use his feet to dance; just stand still and sway.

Dear, Prince Gautam. It is so nice to have you back with us. Forgive me if I don't feel like a salsa, but I would love to dance with you.

Hey, Taggers. Astrud does Corcovada beatifully. Quiet nights and quiet stars. Lets hope so.

How about two quiet songs for the early morning here.

First, a lovely flower replete with lyrics.

Edelweiss, Edelweiss
Every morning you greet me
Small and white clean and bright
You look happy to meet me

Blossom of snow may you bloom and grow
Bloom and grow forever
Edelweiss,Edelweiss
Bless my homeland forever.

Now, for our dear Prince.

Never have found the original lyrics to that one.

Edelweis is nice, letty. Don't think I have heard it before.
Song of India I do know.
From the We Can Dream category, here are Frankie and Giselle.

@edgarblythe,
Edelweis came from The Sound of Music, Texas. Love In the Cool, Cool , Cool of the Evening, but I could have sworn that was Jo Stafford singing with Frankie. Razz

We'll dedicate this one to Barry the Brit.

@edgarblythe,
edgar, thanks again for your comments. Love Hello Young Lovers, but did not know that Johnny had done it. Great song.

Here's one that makes sense to me for everyone.

@edgarblythe,
Love Witchcraft by "the chairman of the board", edgar. Well, witches fly on a broom, don't they?

Maybe they had better straighten up and fly right.

Nat Cole did the original

I'm Not My Brother

Straighten Up and Fly Right is one of those songs I like in a tepid sort of way.

@edgarblythe,
Tepid, edgar? Hope Texas is Lukewarm.

Love, Freddy's I'm Not My Brother I'm Me. Thought you were going to play He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother. Razz

Going to say goodnight with two songs.

First Chicago.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fN2un3lnqw0&feature=related

Now Julius (no, not Caesar)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CEko6fwilfU&feature=related

Good to see Scotland and England with us today. India, too, of course

From Letty with love and a yawn

Chicago often suprises me with their music.
Julius LaRosa had a great voice.

Chris Rea - Dancing The Blues Away.

Beat up soul
Looking to find a smile
Ain't nobody here to give you the reason why
I need the wings of an angel
Need to find me a way to fly

Come on and dance with me baby
Dancing my blues away
Come on and dance with me baby
Dancing my blues away
Come on and dance with me baby
Dancing my blues away

Well here is something worth knowing
Written behind those eyes
I've got tears by the truckload
Let's laugh 'til they all run dry
Let's steal the wings off those angels
And find us a way to fly

Come on and dance with me baby
Dancing my blues away
Yeah dance with me baby
Dance 'til my blues can't stay
Come on and dance with me baby
Dancing my blues away

Good morning, WA2K folks.

edgar, thanks again for your comments and I had no idea that Bobby did Happy from Billie Holiday movie. Great one as usual

jcboy, welcome to our studio. Don't know Enrique Iglesias I Like It, but he's great. Thanks for the introduction.

Hey, Brit. Love that dance song by Chris Rea. You sent me searching again.

Chris Rea (pronounced /ˈriː.ə/ ree-ə) (born Christopher Anton Rea, 4 March 1951, Middlesbrough, North Yorkshire, England) is an English singer-songwriter, recognisable for his distinctive, husky voice and slide guitar playing.[2] The British Hit Singles & Albums stated that Rea was "one of the most popular UK singer-songwriters of the late 1980s. He was already a major European star by the time he finally cracked the UK Top 10 with his 18th chart entry; "The Road to Hell (Part 2)". By 2009, Rea had sold more than 30 million albums worldwide

Here's a new face on the horizon.

Carmen Lundy (born November 1, 1954) is an American jazz singer, composer, songwriter, actress, and painter. She has been performing for three decades, with a focus on original material. She has been positively compared with Aretha Franklin, Ella Fitzgerald and Sarah Vaughan. She is also the sister of bassist Curtis Lundy.
