Songs for the Weekend (in Jazz Tempo)

Friends,

drkam

My co-host, Dr Kamsiah and I decided to take you down memory lane with jazz numbers of an era long gone. It was an era of what I call the golden age of music. Frank Sinatra heads the list for this weekend with two numbers, followed by Dinah Washington with her rendition of that classic “What Difference A Day Makes.

The incomparable pair of Keely Smith and her bubby cum musician Louis Prima comes next, followed in quick succession by Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong with “Learning The Blues”. We have added Bobby Barin’s rendition of “Mack The Knife “for Ocho Onda and Din’s favorite Neil Diamond’s “Cracklin’ Rosie”

We bring in Sir Cliff Richard’s “Living Doll” and “Everytime We Say Goodbye” and Neil Diamond’s “Solitary Man”. Another good weekend to all of you, cool cats and kittens—Dr Kamsiah and DJ Din Merican
