Thanks! Will surely add the Tony Bennett recording, which I didn’t know about...

I'm busy assembling a CD of the best and most memorable songs by John Williams. I've already made a cover! Which songs do you feel should be on this? And did I forget any 'big name' artists that performed or recorded a John Williams song?

She sang Moonlight at the Oscar ceremony in 1996 instead of Sting...
 
Look up Lea Salonga’s version on YouTube: it’s mindblowing and it’s like you’ll hear it for the first time.

I think the preordering starts later today (was originally October 23).

I think this is the biggest gathering of JWFan ever!
 
 

I hope it's OK if I post Mike Mattessino's recent Facebook post here, since there were no pertinent details about the illness other than to comfort us all a little bit -- which we need right now:
 

Yes, I am. Hopefully.

I transcribed "Rey Trains With Lightsaber". I can arrange more unreleased cues if anyone wants.
 
 

I prefer it as well! I adore the scope of the piece!

To anyone who can find a video of the only known live performance of the Williams’ piece commonly referred to as ‘Satellite Celebration’, conducted by Seiji Ozawa during the New Year’s Day broadcast recording from Tokyo.
 
It’s one of my favorite Williams’ compositions and I’ve been living with that one crappy sounding bootleg recording for too long now. I would at least love to see how it was performed live, with its various locations, soloists and all.
 
Somebody (a LEGEND) found the Michael Dukakis fanfare a couple of years back buried deep within the video archives of the internet...
 
...How about this one?

Yea, the Jim Titus / Matessino / Spielberg / Williams line is top notch as far as presentation goes
