Cyndi Lauper sings ‘At Last’ - just amazing. A bit of piano accompaniment. Her voice soars into outer space, that long last note - breathtaking. ---

I’ve always loved San Francisco (Wear some flowers in your hair). Scott McKenzie was an amazing singer. ---

^^ Funny story: my father was born in 1935, too early to really get rock’n’roll and pop music, so he doesn’t care about it and is more into classic, especially choir music (he’s been singing in a choir for almost 70 years). But every time “San Francisco” comes on the radio, he hums along with enthusiasm. He doesn’t know English and I don’t think he knows what it’s about and the cultural implications, but it’s obviously one of his favorite songs. ---

Duke Ellington wrote a lot of beautiful music, and In a Sentimental Mood is one of his best.

While it has some crazier moments later on, “Starless”, overall, is a very nice composition.
