How does Michael Jackson’s ‘Rock With You’ sound in the sax?

‘One Love’ (Bob Marley & The Wailers) to celebrate a YouTube milestone
1121 is a bit of an odd number to celebrate as a milestone. However, it represents a little difficulty that has brought me a lot of joy. Every time I try to catch the moment I reach a more usual number to highlight, like 1100 or 1111, the count grows before I can take the screenshot!

A new, lovely Sunday afternoon, a new video for all of you. Back at Ditton Manor, the Millicent Stephenson Trio performed the legendary song ‘Fly Me To The Moon’, written by Bart Howard in 1954. Our interpretation is based on Frank Sinatra’s recording of it, which released around a decade later.

Music has been a vehicle to express love for thousands of years. As a result, we have an extraordinary musical vocabulary to convey, or attempt to convey, what newly-weds feel. A voice who added many words to this metaphorical dictionary was Whitney Houston, including ‘Run To You’, the fourth single of the now legendary ‘The Bodyguard: Original Soundtrack Album’ (1992).

Many rivers to cross | But I can’t seem to find my way over | Wandering, I am lost | As I travel along White Cliffs of Dover
