FINALLY!!!

We finally get a peek inside what it was like to record a Philly song during the 1970s. There needs to be a lot more videos and photos. I would love to have been a fly on the wall back then. I think their orchestra alone should start touring the world - without the singers. It would be so cool to listen to them perform at the park during a summer music festival of some kind. You could picnic with the strings. ;-)

I'm in shock. I'm a Philly-file, and I missed this recording. When did Don make it, and who was the arranger? (Sounds like Richard Rome.) Nusound, please find if you can, and post. I can't believe I missed this recording.
