@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!
