A few days ago I made a wonderful discovery on here by dedicating my song of the day to Mort Garson, the Canadian composer, arranger and electronic pioneer. It led to a couple of friends posting other areas of his work for me to explore on social media.
Mort first came to broader public notice with this, Our Day Will Come a Billboard #1 in December 1962 fir vocal group Ruby & The Romantics. This deserves a Song of the Day all to itself and it has one here.
It's a song to the stars, one of those fabulous Pop moments from the months just before The Beatles arrived. A Lounge classic, later recorded by Amy Winehouse. Astonishingly, it only reached # 38 in the UK singles charts at the time.
