I am a big fan of the Late Show with Stephen Colbert. His Band is called Staying Human, led by Jon Batiste. A lot of people probably don't know that Jon Batiste has a Masters Degree from the Juilliard School, the Harvard and MIT of classical music schools. I did a YouTube search, and found some of his solo performances.

Art Bell used to play this song a lot as bumper music on Coast to Coast AM. From 1975, it's Jigsaw with "Sky High".

Rod Stewart - "The Great American Songbook No 3" in the car. Again!

No 3 has "Stardust" (written by Hoagie Carmichael and "A Nightingale Sang in Berkeley Square" by Eric Maschwitz)

It just shows - a run-of-the-mill performer CAN be rescued by a few good songwriters

Just as an aside, Maschwitz also wrote "These Foolish Things Remind Me Of You" which is said to have been written for the actress Anna May Wong after he left Hollywood to return to England and their romance ended.

The three archetypal songs for lost love. I can't think of anything modern that compares.

When I hear the "music" of the 1960s I like to pretend I wasn't really there.

Makes me want to get drunk and start a bar fight, just like the good old days.

Pop would be proud...

Ya, but it sounds as if someone recorded these in the first row off their smart phone.
