@Sweetsound Good Morning - I had a nice Sunday, saw a crap show at the local repertory club, but it was fun - had visitor later on - had done some work in the garden in the morning - pretty happy! I did know the 'Turkish Delight' song - text is pretty cool, too, written by her husband, Johnny Dankworth
Many years ago, centuries ago, long before the Beatles ever had a single fan, There was one sad guy called Mozart and he was a keyboard man. Wrote a lot of songs, wrote a lot of tunes, he became a legendary figure overnight. He wrote symphonies, concertos--his quartets were out of sight! But though almost every single song charted high and charted very long, There was one more thing to be achieved-- one more accolade to be received. So, he tried again. With his music pen Searching for a tune to put him in the hall of fame And he worked by day and night until at last that moment came. He had found just the ditty for a Cleo Laine recital Yes, it seemed just the right one-- not too slow and not too bright! Mozart found something special for us two to swing along to And we won't rest a moment 'til we get the darn thing right!
At the end of the song, Cleo sings "And they called the number "Turkish Delight!"
I am a big-time fan of Cleo, as I have stated before. wish I could do that husky skatting, or whatever it's called, gone out of fashion a bit. Wonderful voice!
Emin, interesting character Azerbaidjani-Russian, rich father - very handsome young man, now just friendly-like, easy disposition - a good place to be in middle age (and older). Thankyou! I hope you had a nice Sunday too! Tau
