This Arrangement is SUPERB and it's still one of my Favorites . Another is" Hold On To Yer Man" which was in 1965 . You should listen to these 2 tunes closely to get an idea of how intricate these arrangements are . Masterpieces I must say . Thanks .
I remember this arrangement by Beverly Griffith caused quite a stir , back in the day. The talk was about how Beverly jazzed up the arrangement.
This was an innovative arrangement in 1966, and a worthy Panorama winner.
Beverly Griffith has to be recognized as one of the most accomplished musicians to emerge from T&T, as a keyboard player, a big band and steelband arranger, and also for his longevity as a contributor to the culture.
great memories thank s to glenroy
