And now for something a bit more cheerful, Percy Faith and his orchestra playing Delicado.

I hadn’t thought of Percy Faith much less his rendition of Delicado in years. Thanks for posting. Brought back memories.

“Delicado” features a wild harpsichord. One of my favorite hits of 1952.

It sounds like the Bosa Nova played on a harpsichord. Unique.

When I hear the name Percy Faith, I always think of seeing him conduct an orchestra on the Ed Sullivan show for his piece “A Summer Place”.
