THE TWO STRANGERS!
Roberto and Navtam sing ‘Strangers in the night’
“Strangers in the Night” is a captivating song crafted by the talented Bert Kaempfert, with enchanting English lyrics by Charles Singleton and Eddie Snyder. Originally, Kaempfert introduced it under the whimsical title “Beddy Bye” as part of the instrumental score for the film *A Man Could Get Killed*. However, it was Frank Sinatra’s unforgettable rendition in 1966 that catapulted the song to legendary status.
Sinatra’s masterful performance not only soared to No. 1 on both the Billboard Hot 100 and Easy Listening charts but also captivated audiences to achieve the top spot on the UK Singles Chart. This remarkable success propelled the release of the album *Strangers in the Night*, which featured this title track and became Sinatra’s most commercially triumphant album, leaving a lasting legacy in the world of music.

Good Good Father – Chris Tomlin
“Good Good Father” is a beautifully uplifting song by the acclaimed contemporary Christian artist Chris Tomlin. Released on October 2, 2015, as the lead single from his inspiring 2016 album, ‘Never Lose Sight’, this enchanting track is a heartfelt cover of the original by Housefires. It quickly soared to remarkable heights, marking Tomlin’s sixth No. 1 hit on the Hot Christian Songs chart and captivating listeners for an impressive seven weeks at the top.

American Pie – Don McLean
“American Pie” is an iconic song penned and performed by the talented Don McLean, making its debut in 1971. This folk-rock ballad captivates listeners with its enchanting length of over 8 minutes and its richly enigmatic lyrics, which many interpret as a profound commentary on the cultural shifts unfolding in the United States during the late 1960s and early 1970s. The song is particularly renowned for its poignant reference to “the day the music died,” a phrase that hauntingly commemorates the tragic plane crash in 1959 that claimed the lives of music legends Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens, and J.P. “The Big Bopper” Richardson.

Be Your Girl – Kaytranada and Teedra Moses ‧ 2023
Don’t know if you got a girl
Don’t mean to disrespect but
Thoughts of you rule my world
I even dream of you, I swear
Visions of you and I
See you all around my way
Been meaning to say “Hi” but
I’m just way too shy
I gotta make you see this is
More than just a silly crush
George
