I have two.

Judy Collins singing "Amazing Grace"

the other is for the music, Iron butterfly performing "Inna Godda Divita"  (the full 17 minute version)

The drum solo was the best part, still have the Iron Butterfly album some where.

I utubed Judy Collins singing "Amazing Grace" with the  Boys' Choir Of Harlem 1993.
And remembered her voice.

[In the Clouds]

One of my favorites is Panis Angelicus.

Way back?  ??? Okay but it was just 1961.

How about Paper Doll,  by the Mills Brothers? 1943

Or Blue Moon Of Kentucky original from 1945 made popular again  by Elvis 1954.

And a real recent favorite End Of The Line  by Traveling Wilburys 1989

Part of that drum solo is my ringtone for my wife on my phone.  At lest it was until  that last Android update.    Hate these phones sometimes.

When I was about 12 or 13 I spend half a summer's lawn mowing on  at 10 inch real to reel recorder and every record I bought or borrowed got tapped.  I have a paper carton full of those tapes.   When Sony brought out it's recording program, I bought it and digitized all my music, and it's on my PC backed up by carbonite.   I keep about 1,200 songs on my phone.  They play in the background when I'm not having to focus on something.

About `15 years ago we took a 7-week-long sightseeing trip, and it's the only time I've heard all them back to back.   150+ hours.

Way back?

Domenico Scarlatti's Sonata K. 336, composed circa 1753, originally composed for the harpsichord, transcribed for the six-string guitar. Lovely piece.
