Happy 86th Birthday Cliff Richard. Here’s one written by Cliff that I really love. I love the musical twists and turns …and that killer chorus melody. When I was younger one of my big ambitions as a musician was to have a Saturday night TV show with dancers etc. like Cliff. youtu.be/vQjzb3LoBUY?...

Have you ever heard the music Neal Hefti did for the film ‘Lord Love a Duck’ with Roddy McDowall & Tuesday Weld? It’s great! and the film is a curio that’s well worth checking out, If you don’t already know it.. youtu.be/NTstE35_szY?...

And while I’m on my Neal Hefti trip, I wanted to share this oddity from 1961 that Hefti made with Don Everly (of the Everly Brothers). Adrian Kimberly was Don’s pseudonym for the project. I sort of love it, especially when the girls chanting comes in. youtu.be/26nB47NTbHs?...

When I first heard this theme by Neal Hefti on the telly as Virna Lisa emerged from a giant cake I feel something changed inside me, the theme stayed in my head and heart. I reckon I was around 9 or 10. He also wrote the themes for The Odd Couple & Batman and Li’l Darlin. youtu.be/YXzQzqe3OJs?...

I ranked Busby Berkeley! Now have to rid myself of an infernal medley of Harry Warren-Al Dubin earworms. (I urge you to seek out the full Lullaby of Broadway number; official Warner Bros clip linked to in the artcle doesn't do it justice, though this one is better: www.youtube.com/watch?v=RT9L...)
