Ben Flocks – Moonshades Ben Flocks has chosen a different path: one of patience, introspection, and subtle evolution. The result is an album that does not seek to dazzle, but to endure. paris-move.com/reviews/ben-f…

Sarah Vaughan and Sammy Davis Jr doing an incredible impromptu rendition of “Tenderly” on the Tonight Show in 1978 Clock Sassy’s incomparable tone and phrasing! (there’s also a lovely version on a 1983 telethon on YouTube that’s also really beautiful)
