An Evening In Paradise - Little Jimmy Scott

I first heard this song on 'The Cosby Show'....have loved it ever since. Was a difficult find.

I love this song also. I'm a huge Cosby Show fan and it was how I learned a lot about jazz.

@suzupewa ME 2!!!!

Duke Ellington, Lina Horne, Little Jimmy Scott, Ray Charles, James Brown, etc.. (knew Ray Charles and James Brown but not familiar with their music at that age) I discovered while watching the Cosby Show and those songs have stuck with me to this day.

Clair is playing this record and dancing with Cliff...And I just thought...Its Beautiful I must find out more!...Thanks So much for uploading...I'm coming back later for another listen after I've finished the episode...It's an original recording on Betamax video from back in 1986...haha!!!

BETAMAX IS BEST!!!!!

When he sings the line "Our hearts beat in rhythm", and that organ chord comes in. That part just sends chills. This is such a great song. This is music I want to romance someone with. I wish music was like this now.

Today, we have people wanting to lick you up and down and getting into your jeans as love songs.
