This lovely ballad for developing groups is a tip-of-the-hat to the tuneful ballads of the 1940's and 1950's. Warm textures are created by the densely voiced chords and winding melody. Written or ad lib solo space is provided for trumpet. While the tempo and note values of a ballad are accessible in terms of technical and range demands, working on proper blend, balance, and nuance will sustain the interest of even the most seasoned groups. Each set includes a guitar chord chart by Jim Greeson. Duration 3:30.

This pop hit recorded by the Emotions in 1997 has a distinctive Earth, Wind and Fire vibe thanks to composers Maurice White and Al McKay. Most recently used as the basis for Paul Russell's “Lil Boo Thang,” here is an arrangement for young jazz ensembles that features a funky groove and all the signature horn riffs from the original.
