Golden Brown. Is that up tempo enough? And it's only 3:4 in parts... but I still love this one. It rocks my boat.Raags

Lionel Ritchie's, "Once, Twice, 3 Times a Lady," always revolted me. But it's in my head, not going away. Can you say HIT RECORD? Man, I AGREE! When I used to HAVE to play weddings for $$ I sang that TOO many times! What a piece of crap. It was so embarrasing to sing that schlock! Made me hate Lionel Ritchie forever (well, maybe "hate" is too strong a word, but ---

The Beatles, "You've Got To Hide Your Love Away". It's groovy.

I don't know if it is my favorite, but I like El Paso by Marty Robbins.

El Paso is one of those weirdly hypnotizing songs. I still sing it to this day although I'm not sure why. I love the opening lines, maybe.

What a sense of melody and countermelody ---Ern Man, you're right about that. And so amazingly prolific! South Pacific is the first movie I remember seeing as a kid... I was maybe 5 or 6 at the time. It was in "Panorama" too!Cam

How about "Mr Bojangles" and "Piano Man"? "My Favorite Things", Coltrane's version, of course!! "Alice in Wonderland", and don't forget the great Bill Evans' "Waltz for Debby".Just thought of another one "Never Never Land", incredible Lydian melody."Tenderly", another beautiful song."Fly Me to the Moon" was originally written as a waltz but I prefer Sinatra/Basie's 4/4 take on it.Cheers,Mazz

Hey,I agree with MAZZ " My Favorite things"- I actually like the Dave Brubeck/ Paul Desmond version..We always did Norwegian Wood as a jazz waltz ( does a swinging 6/8 count?)Bob
