Back in 1996, this is the song that played the moment I realized that I wanted my friend to be "more". It's now 2021 and we've been married 23 yrs.😊

I ADORE Patti Austin, Her Voice is Just PERFECTION!! I saw her in Concert at the Hollywood Bowl.. SOOO Underrated!! xoxoxooo

[@drszilardtorok]

For me, one the most beautiful music, wonderful tones and singing, cannot be described in words. I lived in America in 1996 and that's where I really understood Jazz music. It is a completely different feeling of life there to listen to these masterpieces. It still gives me goosebumps after all these years.

[@coreylevi2328]
