Last tango in Paris

This tune was written for Shirley Horn, the great jazz singer. She had a hit version, and others have sung it. Here I sing it with the wonderful jazz vocalist Enso Nso, and it's a beautiful song.

Here's To Life. Duet with Bix and Enso Nso.

Ophelia Mulch (1912–unknown)
Born in Rockford, Illinois, Ophelia Mulch was a small-town girl with a big-city voice. After performing in church choirs and local radio programs, she moved to Chicago in 1935, finding her way into the smoky nightclubs of State Street and the speakeasies that survived Prohibition. Known for her haunting mezzo-soprano and her signature song “The Fast Lane” which she recorded as a 78 rpm single for the short-lived Lakefront Records in 1938. The record never charted, and within a year, Ophelia vanished from public life.

Some say she married a steelworker and settled quietly in Gary, Indiana. Others claim she disappeared en route to a booking in St. Louis, leaving her gown hanging in a hotel wardrobe. Her lone recording, long out of print, resurfaced in a collector’s archive in the late 1990s—its label cracked but her voice still luminous, as if she were singing from behind a veil of time.

The Golden Era continues… ✨
Electric Heart – 1930’s Golden Era (Volume 2) brings another set of my original songs, reimagined with satin-smooth strings, candlelit ballroom warmth, romantic nostalgia, and that soft cinematic shine only the 1930s could do.

Lush orchestras, classic crooner charm, graceful dance-floor sway — always blended with my signature Hopefire production.
This isn’t just retro… it’s reinvention.

Charlie Chaplin – as I began to love myself 
As I began to love myself I found that anguish and emotional suffering are only warning signs that I was living against my own truth. Today, I know, this is “AUTHENTICITY”.

As I began to love myself I understood how much it can offend somebody if I try to force my desires on this person, even though I knew the time was not right and the person was not ready for it, and even though this person was me. Today I call it “RESPECT”.

As I began to love myself I stopped craving for a different life, and I could see that everything that surrounded me was inviting me to grow. Today I call it “MATURITY”.

As I began to love myself I understood that at any circumstance, I am in the right place at the right time, and everything happens at the exactly right moment. So I could be calm. Today I call it “SELF-CONFIDENCE”.

As I began to love myself I quit stealing my own time, and I stopped designing huge projects for the future. Today, I only do what brings me joy and happiness, things I love to do and that make my heart cheer, and I do them in my own way and in my own rhythm. Today I call it “SIMPLICITY”.

As I began to love myself I freed myself of anything that is no good for my health – food, people, things, situations, and everything that drew me down and away from myself. At first I called this attitude a healthy egoism. Today I know it is “LOVE OF ONESELF”.

As I began to love myself I quit trying to always be right, and ever since I was wrong less of the time. Today I discovered that is “MODESTY”.

As I began to love myself I refused to go on living in the past and worrying about the future. Now, I only live for the moment, where everything is happening. Today I live each day, day by day, and I call it “FULFILLMENT”.

As I began to love myself I recognized that my mind can disturb me and it can make me sick. But as I connected it to my heart, my mind became a valuable ally. Today I call this connection “WISDOM OF THE HEART”.

We no longer need to fear arguments, confrontations or any kind of problems with ourselves or others. Even stars collide, and out of their crashing new worlds are born. Today I know “THAT IS LIFE”!

As I Began To Love Myself - Poem by Charlie Chaplin

The Holiday (2006)Comedy, Romance 
Iris: Listen. I know it’s hard to believe people when they say I know how you feel. But I actually know how you fell. You see, I was seeing someone, back in London. We worked for the same newspaper, and then I found out that he was also seeing another girl, Sarah, from the circulation department on the nineteen floor. Turned out that he wasn’t in love with me like I thought.
What I am trying to say is I understand feeling as small and as insignificant as humanly possible. And how it can actually ache in places that you didn’t know you had inside you. And it doesn’t matter how many new hair cuts you get, or gyms you join, or how many glasses of Chardonnay you drink with your girlfriends. You still go to bed every night going over every detail and wonder what you did wrong or how you could have misunderstood. And how in the heel for that brief moment you could think that you were that happy. And sometimes you can even convince yourself that he’ll see the light and show up at your door.
And after all that, however long all that maybe, you’ll go somewhere new, and you’ll meet people who make you feel worthwhile again, and little pieces of your soul will finally come back. And all that fuzzy stuff, those years of your life that you wasted, that will eventually begin to fade.”
