"Tonight We Love".

OK, girls and boys, more pop tunes inspired by the classics: Tenor saxophonist and bandleader Freddy Martin's biggest hit was this 1941 adaptation of the first movement of Tchaikovsky's Piano Concerto No. 1 in B-flat minor, Op. 23 which topped the charts. First recorded instrumentally, lyrics were soon added and it was re-recorded with Clyde Roger on vocals. Answer: "Tonight We Love". How can you go wrong with ol' Pyotr Ilyich?! A big item in my "bucket list" was to go to St. Petersburg in Russia to visit The Hermitage Museum, The Winter Palace as well as Tchaikovsky's and Dostoevsky's graves. Unfortunately, at this point, travel to Russia by U.S. citizens is not recommended and I don't expect that to change anytime soon. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZhZvbC8j4EM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EcZp_pcRLkQ
