I just heard the Jackie & Roy album “Sweet and Low Down”. Wonderful.
Strangely enough, I never saw “Elvis - The Movie”. But that also has to do with the fact that I was never a big Elvis fan. However, as a film buff, I also like autobiographical films, and "Elvis" is now on my watchlist. When I saw the trailer just now, I was delighted to see that one of my favorite actors, Pat Hingle, is in it.
Looking at the current weather map, you're New Yorkers are right in the middle of the predicted snowstorm. But as you wrote, you´ll “hunker down”. Best thing to do.
There is a local TV station here in Phoenix that only runs shows from the ‘50s-‘70s. They run Mannix every midnight, and I tune in just to hear the opening theme, then go to bed! The orchestration changed over the years, too.
Great Editor´s Note again.

I was lucky to find that Jackie and Roy album at a thrift store two years ago. You never know where treasure lies.
A lovely sweet & lowdown, but for me, the song will always belong to Lee Wiley, who brought something to it that no one else ever has, not even Ella.

Bundle up Marc! (lived in Manhattan in the late '70's)
On moving to Sydney 38 yrs ago I said, 'No Mas'.

Man after my own heart!
This was probably my first Jackie and Roy LP 60 years ago. Wonderful. Thanks for posting this link -- sold my LPs, great to hear it again!
