Welcome to summer, 2021. 
Here's a demo that I recorded many years ago. It still works, and I don't know why I never recorded it "back then."
Enjoy "Summer Madness" and welcome to Summer 2021.

Summer Madness Mp3

When you create music and love music, it becomes part of you. 
The picture shows me standing in front of the Brill Building, where the great Rock 'n' Roll writers gathered, and my life in music began.
Before recording "Half Man / Half Music", my arranger and producer, Jimmy Wisner, heard me noodling at the piano and had the engineer hit the record button. Jimmy liked the mood and we opened the record with it.

Hello, This Is Paul Evans

Half Man / Half Music

Make every day Valentine’s Day with a kiss. 

Enjoy "THAT WAS SOME KISS." Sung by Jazz artist Annette Sanders and myself, and arranged by George Bergold.

"Baby That Was Some Kiss"

Now a commercial for Etsy, the major marketing company.

The Paul Evans Songbook

Happiness Is

"Quiet Desperation" is one of two songs held for Elvis Presley's next session when he died in 1977. Up till then, I had written four songs that Elvis had recorded. The song is based on a quote by Henry Thoreau, "Most men lead lives of quiet desperation."

Quiet-Desperation

Originally released in my 1961 album, "Folk Songs of Many Lands" and recently in my ACE Records compilation CDTOP 1367(Paul Evans "21 YEARS IN A TENNESSEE JAIL"/"Folk Songs of Many Lands").

I appeared early in my career at a predominantly Irish college in Canada and this song brought down the house.  HAPPY ST. PATRICK's DAY!
