PLEASE FIX THE NAME ON THIS SONG BEFORE YOU GIVE ME A STROKE.
Is this really the version of This Masquerade on Breezin'? I particularly like the piano solo on this version.
Great song

I believe that this song is called "This Mascarade" not "This". Never-the-le s s - it si one of my favorite songs.

This is "This Masguerade"
lam0384
This is one of my favorites of all times...but it is not called "This", maybe "This Masquerade"
So amazingly groovy. It's the musical experiential equivalant of a good glass of wine.

This tune insinuated itself into both the slumbering consciousnes s and waking verve of its day, fusing with occasions as an apostrophic overdub to the moments and occasions, both private and public, of inevitably younger folk who found with it a surprisingly immediate communion in what appeared to be an undeniably natural groove with one another and epochal link to times that must remember this epic groove that we commend in a talent whose birth we witnessed, as if in a NY taxi -- on Broadway.
