The movie Born on the Fourth of July does not contain the song by that name. The song was inspired by either the book or movie - perhaps both.

Here's one to set the Radio on fire . Django Reinhardt plays Honeysuckle Rose with Duke Ellington's band.

Y'all be sure and check out Liszt.

Thanks for the info on The Fourth of July, edgar.

django is truly a legend with the Duke.

Here's Duke's instrumental and the lyrics.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QPGiwXqbTZ8

Every honey bee fills with jealousy
When they see you out with me
I don't blame them
Goodness knows
Honeysuckle rose

When you're passin' by,
Flowers droop and sigh
I know the reason why
You're much sweeter
Goodness knows
Honeysuckle rose

Well, don't buy sugar
You just have to touch my cup
You're my sugar
And it's oh so sweet when you stir it up

When I'm takin' sips
From your tasty lips
Seems the honey fairly drips
You're confection
Goodness knows
Honeysuckle rose

Diana Ernestine Earle Ross (born March 26, 1944[1]) is an American vocalist, music artist and actress.

Ross first rose to fame as a founding member and lead singer of the Motown group The Supremes during the 1960s. After leaving the group in 1970, Ross began a solo career that has included successful ventures into film and Broadway. She received a Best Actress Academy Award nomination for her role as Billie Holiday in Lady Sings the Blues (1972), for which she won a Golden Globe award for most promising female newcomer. She has won seven American Music Awards, and won a Special Tony Award for her one-woman show, An Evening with Diana Ross, in 1977.[2]

In 1976, Billboard magazine named her the "Female Entertainer of the Century."[3] In 1993, the Guinness Book of World Records declared Diana Ross the most successful female music artist in history due to her success in the United States and United Kingdom for having more hits than any female artist in the charts with a career total of 70 hit singles.[4] Diana Ross has sold more than 100 million records worldwide

hurry back, hbg. I love Toscanini's Overture.

edgar, Thanks to you and the rest of our contributors for keeping us on the air. Feeling a bit better. Loved Paul Wilbur doing Holy Holy Holy(funny remark about your socks)

euro, Welcome back and Sunshine Reggae was great as was our edgar's response We'll Sing in the Sunshine.

Robert Frost is one of my favorite poets, and Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Night/Evening is fantastic. I also liked Swinger of Birches by him.

Wish I could acknowledge each one, but I'm not fully recovered as yet.

Here's a birthday man I found for Soul. Razz

First, some info.

Theodore DeReese "Teddy" Pendergrass (March 26, 1950 – January 13, 2010, was an American R&B/soul singer and songwriter. Pendergrass first rose to fame as lead singer of Harold Melvin & the Blue Notes in the 1970s before a successful solo career at the end of the decade. In 1982, he was severely injured in an auto accident in Philadelphia, resulting in his being paralyzed from the waist down. After his injury, he founded the Teddy Pendergrass Alliance, a foundation that helps those with spinal cord injuries. Pendergrass commemorated 25 years of living after his spinal cord injury with star filled event, 'Teddy 25 - A Celebration of Life' at Philadelphia's Kimmel Center. His last performance was on a PBS special at Atlantic City's Borgata Casino in November 2008.

msletty , good to have you back at the helm of WA2K RADIO !!!

today is the birthday of french composer Pierre Boulez .

Quote:
Pierre Boulez (French pronunciation: ​[pjɛʁ bu.lɛːz]; born 26 March 1925) is a French composer, a conductor and a pianist.
.................
Today, Boulez continues to be one of the leading exponents of music of the 20th century.[9] His compositions have made a contribution to musical culture, and his advocacy of modern and postmodern music has been decisive for many. Boulez continues to conduct and compose. From 1976 to 1995, Boulez held the Chair in "Invention, technique et langage en musique" at the Collège de France. In 2002, he was awarded the Glenn Gould Prize for his contributions. In 2004, with festival director Michael Haefliger, he founded the Lucerne Festival Academy, a summer orchestral institute for young musicians, dedicated to music of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries.[19] The resident professors are members of the Ensemble intercontemporain.


here he directs the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra in brilliant performance of

Igor Stravinsky's " FIREBIRD " .
