One of my mum’s favourites ,if not her all time favourite.
I like it myself … it’s one of those tunes that stands the test of time well. Bit sad isn’t it.

No platinum disc for Mozart then

1967 - Two timeless number one hits:
Light my fire - The Doors
A whiter shade of pale - Procol Harum
Still going strong today and I hope to think - just like me!

I used to play that in my clarinet and saxophone days. Never sounded as good as Acker though. Such a rich tone.
