Goodnight everyone and don't work too hard this weekend
It's Friday night. Time to unwind with our regular Friday night feature on This Just In.
The weekend has finally arrived.
The sun has set.
The evening sky has erupted.
Let's put controversy and provocative blogs aside for the rest of this work week and smooth our way into Saturday and Sunday….and this week, Monday.
Tonight, some work-related music to segue into the holiday weekend.
Let’s jump right into it with an old instrumental classic by a very popular artist. The theme is familiar and catchy. You might be old enough to remember that Channel 12 used it as their intro to Packer Preview on Sunday afternoons before every Packer game.
It’s “The Work Song.”
Alpert has sold over 75 million records and has won seven Grammy Awards, but there's more to this musical success story.
He paints. Alpert's work has been showcased in galleries and museums around the globe. He's also a sculptor and Broadway producer.
The man obviously works very hard.
Hit recordings, TV specials, Broadway shows, painting, sculpting.
Wow. That's very exciting.
Nice work........
That is...
If you can get it.
This next act is heard only two times during the year:
1) On the radio at Christmas
2) On this blog.
Created as a studio band by Capitol Records in the 60’s, The Hollyridge Strings actually were very popular doing their renditions of songs by one very popular group in particular.
That's it for tonight.
We close by turning it up a notch with a number by this star...
The lovely Vanessa Williams gives her take on a 70's hit by this group...
Goodnight.
Sleep well.
Enjoy the three day weekend.
