Taike: Both interesting and enlightening to learn that Bert Kaempfert was not only a orchestral band leader but composer as well, who wrote the music to more than a few well known songs of the 1960's. I had 'no idea' till now that he wrote 'Spanish Eyes' & 'Strangers In The Night', both songs included in my repertoire. The only song I previously thought tied to him was 'A Swingin' Safari'. These kind of interesting tidbits can make for interesting onstage commentary patter when introducing a song, as I'm always getting people coming up after I perform to express their appreciation when I share these kind of (often little known) facts, so I really appreciate the heads up that is was Bert Kaempfert who composed the music for: "Lady".
