Evie Sands – Take me for a little while

Jayne Mansfield – Concerto No. 6 in A Minor
An evening pause: By Vivaldi, and performed on the Ed Sullivan Show 1957.
Hat tip Judd Clark.
Van Halen – Jump
An evening pause: Its an “official video,” so much of this is lip synched footage cobbled together to make what looks like a single performance. Much of it however is the actual performance, and the song is good.
Hat tip James Street.
Santana – Flor de Luna
An evening pause: Performed live 1977. The filmwork leaves a lot to be desired, and the sound might not come from this particular performance. No matter. Just listen to the music.
Hat tip Judd Clark.

Hat tip Ferris.

Mozart – Piano Concerto No. 23: II Adagio
An evening pause: Performed in 2020 by the National Orchestra of France with a piano solo by Khatia Buniatishvili and a ballet duet by Jordan Kindell and Verity Jacobson.
Hat tip Judd Clark.
Mireille Mathieu – La Marseillaise
An evening pause: Performed live in 1989, to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Eiffel Tower. What I especially like are the English subtitles, because for some reason this song is rarely translated. Knowing the meaning of what they are singing in the scene in the movie Casablanca makes that scene even more moving.
Hat tip Tom Biggar.
Sam and Dave – Hold On I’m Coming
An evening pause: Performed live 1966.
Hat tip James Street.
