"The More I See You" is a popular song written by Harry Warren, with lyrics by Mack Gordon. In 1966, Chris Montez had the most commercially successful and well known version of the song and it is this version that has been used many times in movies, notably at the beginning of the famous club scene in Roman Polanski's Frantic, starring Harrison Ford. Chris Montez's version went to number sixteen on the Hot 100 and spent four weeks at number two on the Easy Listening chart. The song was published in 1945, and originally sung by Dick Haymes in the film Diamond Horseshoe. "The More I See You" has been subsequently recorded by many artists. Sarah Vaughan's accompanied by Kirk Stuart (piano), Charles "Buster" Williams (bass), and Georges Hughes (drums). Recorded in Sweden, 1964.

"At Last" was written by Mark Gordon and Harry Warren. It was first introduced in 1941 via the film "Orchestra Wives" where it was performed by Glenn Miller and his orchestra. The Miller version of the song hit the charts in 1942, rising up to number two on the charts. My father told me this was the favorite Slow Dancing Song for the end of the Dances. I can still imagine the young people in the Okanagan on Saturday Night dancing in the local Dance Hall in the post war years, dreaming of their future. Have you heard this song before?
