Sy Smith's voice is brilliant, sensational, and breathtaking. No one can compare with her interpretation for this song "The look of Love", especially at the very beginning. I heard it on PBS in 2011. In 2024, I am still overwhelmed by it.

Chris really presents a great performance, both the vocalists, band members, especially including Mark. Chris makes his trumpet talk as though it is another vocalist. Truly sensational!
