Nice rendition of Charade by Ray Conniff,

he has left a legacy of his work for us to enjoy.

[msauim]

does anyone know who took the beginning of this song and made one o the best underground hip hop songs?

[nancyfloressantos]

Thanks for sharing this wonderful song.

[SirBasildeBrush]

My pleasure.

This Is Soo Beautiful!!!  5*s+ Thanks Basil....Anita...

[SirBasildeBrush]

Got to agree with you!

[stripeyhole]

SirBasil, I can't get this out of my head! In the best possible way, of course.

[hrpman]

Bring back "Sing Something Simple"!

[stripeyhole]

Ooh, I love, love, love everything about this!

[SirBasildeBrush]

Musical perfection - in stereo!

@SirBasildeBrush

Sir Basil,

Here I am again to thank you for posting this treasure. Jackie

Allen's voice was one of the most beautiful and powerful I have seen on atage. The whole of her body sang together with the Ray Conniff Singers. Her "coppertura" can not be forgotten. She passed away some months ago. R.I.P.

[SirBasildeBrush]

@Alce2008 Very sad to hear. Wish I could have seen her perform, sounds magical.

[angelofbebop]

Ray Coniff/Orchestra/Singers - it doesn't get much better than this (unless they start doing surf songs). Thanks for posting this Basil.

[stripeyhole]

Yes, they're fantastic!

[FAUSTORICCARDO]

Ottimo Sir.

Beautiful song by Mancini. The film is V Nice.

[grandprix1963]

I don't think I ever saw the film or heard this nice tune. Thanks.

[SirBasildeBrush]

Thanks, but click on the video icon, then 'View all 10 comments', to find a comment by a Mr grandprix63...

[grandprix1963]

Oh, that guy ...

Ten months ago, how could I forget this tune? Hard to decide which is best, Mancinis or Coniffs... It's a tie :)

[SirBasildeBrush]

I know what you - I thought Mancini, but I quite like this faster pace and that pronounced 1-2-3 waltz rhythm.

[SirBasildeBrush]

...mean...

[stripeyhole]

This kind of reminds me of Kurt Weill-style cabaret-ish music, like "Mack the Knife"--it's sort of more dramatic and weighty than it seems at first.

[LaVerne37]

my first waltz...simply wonderful...Ray Conniff with the Sir Basil Singers...and the Sir Verne of L.A. dancers...ahhhh what memories of topping the bill!!!

Your pal in prison,

Bubba

[SirBasildeBrush]

That'd be a video worth seeing!
