Folks Who Live on the Hill brilliant, as you say that trumpet intro, a couple of other tracks by Peggy that provoke strong emotions, are, her version of Leiber and Stollers "Is That All There Is." and "Sing a Rainbow." from the movie ."Pete kellys Blues."

A couple of tracks that I should have mentioned are, "First Of May." by The Bee Gees, "My Cup Runneth Over." either by Perry Como or Bing Crosby, "True Love Goes on and On," by Burl Ives, " "A Little Bitty Tear." again by Burl Ives. "Try To Remmber." much recorded I have a version by Bobby Darin.

Also worth searching out is a obscure Frank Sinatra song recorded for Capiol called."This Was My Love. It was on a vinyl best of compilation years ago not sure if its got a cd release.

The classic old ballad "Barbara Allen". It is played in the Alistair Sim flm of A Christmas Carol.

Frank Sinatra's It Was a Very Good Year, with Nelson Riddle's incomparable arrangements.

This one does it for me - especially since it was recently sent to me by a very dear and special person....

I Apologize - Timi Yuro


Another one that moves me is this.... Allison Crowe - Leonard Cohen's Hallelujah
