Great lineup, Todd. I like "California Dreamin" and never tire of listening to Humperdink, introduced to me by my wife. His "Forever and Ever" also sung (rather plainly) by Demi Roussos is one of my favourites. I also like his "Am I That Easy to Forget."
My mother had a "media crush" on Humperdinck of years standing...might still.
This represents some of their demonstrated tastes, with a fair amount of mutual favorites over the years, while of course not capturing the range of their enthusiasms (no New Band of Spike Jones for my father, no Captain and Tenille for my mother, no Tijuana Brass nor Carpenters for both, for example)...
Eddie Izzard has a funny routine on Englebert Humperdink. . . And thanks for the Peggy Lee-George Shearing. What a wonderful combination.
I'll have to look that up...Lee and Shearing are a natural duo, no?
