Midler’s single went on to win the Grammy Award for best song of the year. My recording is dedicated to my Grandpa Vincent, who passed away in January 2021.

SUMMERTIME was composed by George Gershwin in 1934 as a lullaby to be sung in his first opera, Porgy and Bess. It has since been recorded by thousands of artists in every genre from disco to reggae, becoming a world famous jazz staple after the release of Ella Fitzgerald’s 1957 cover.

Based on a popular French song from the 1940s, and with new lyrics by American composer Albert Beach, I WISH YOU LOVE, was introduced by singer Keely Smith in 1957. There are so many great recordings of this song, it would be hard to pick a favourite, but my version was inspired by Natalie Cole’s 1993 recording. ENJOY! ❤️☺️

SH-BOOM is an early doo-wop song by the R&B vocal group The Chords. It was released in 1954 and quickly became a U.S. top-10 hit for both The Chords and The Crew Cuts. I first heard SH-BOOM while watching Disney/Pixar’s movie CARS with my dad. I’ve loved it ever since. I hope my video puts a bounce in your step and a smile on your face! 🤗

Written by Willie Nelson in early 1961, and recorded by Patsy Cline later the same year, CRAZY was an instant hit. Today, it’s recognized as one of Patsy’s signature tunes. Her version of CRAZY is No. 85 on Rolling Stone’s list of THE 500 GREATEST SONGS OF ALL TIME.

Composed in 1931, DREAM A LITTLE DREAM OF ME, is a popular jazz standard that has been recorded by various artists over the decades. My version was inspired by Doris Day’s 1957 recording. I hope you enjoy it!

I sang this special version of the classic Nat King Cole tune, UNFORGETTABLE, for a beloved doggie named Mango.

Mango appeared to be in kidney failure and was not expected to live long, so I wanted to give her family a PERSONALIZED music video to remember her by.  I’m happy to report that since recording this video, Mango is doing much better! ❤️🐶

I really love Nat King Cole’s voice! It’s so rich and smooth, I could listen to him all day. Every time I hear one of his songs, I want to sing it for myself! 😲🎤🎶

Written by Irving Gordon, the most popular version of UNFORGETTABLE, was recorded by Nat King Cole in 1951 and was featured on his 1952 album by the same name. Nat King Cole’s original recording was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 2000.

The music for SMILE was composed by Charlie Chaplin in 1936, but the lyrics, written by John Turner and Geoffrey Parsons, were not added until 1954. Although it became a popular standard recorded by numerous artists, Nat King Cole’s version of SMILE is my personal favourite. 🙂

The scene in the movie where it plays is truly iconic and the message it delivers is timeless.
