Pure Joy for "Godfather" Fans!
I absolutely love singing this! The "Speak Softly, Love" theme from The Godfather is just beautiful, and Kirby Shaw's "soft samba" arrangement makes it so enjoyable. The vocal jazz style and fun scat section are rewarding, making our community choir rehearsals a blast. It sounds fantastic and is a pleasure to learn and perform.
