_______________________________________

"Laura" is a 1945 popular song. The music, composed by David Raksin for the 1944 movie Laura, which starred Gene Tierney and Dana Andrews, is heard frequently in the movie. The lyrics were written by Johnny Mercer.
The song became a jazz standard and has been recorded more than 400 times.

Some of the best-known versions are by Woody Herman, Dave Brubeck, Johnny Johnston, Emil Newman, David Rose, Billy Eckstine, Charlie Parker, J. J. Johnson, Carly Simon, Frank Sinatra, Spike Jones, Matt Monro and Julie London (included on her 1955 debut album Julie Is Her Name, Vol. 1). The first 10 notes of the song are sometimes "quoted" during jazz solos, especially since Dizzy Gillespie did it during his "Perdido" solo at the Massey Hall concert in May 1953.

Here's a link to the Matt Monro version I uploaded back in 2011.

To lovers of easy listening music, Percy Faith needs little introduction.
Suffice to say that he was a Canadian–American bandleader, orchestrator, composer and conductor, known for his lush arrangements of instrumental ballads and Christmas standards. He is often credited with popularising the "easy listening" or "mood music" format.
He was born on the 7th of April 1908, in Toronto, Canada and he died on the 9th of February 1976, at the age of 67, in Los Angeles, California.

The vinyl LP was played on a Pro-Ject turntable, recorded directly to computer using a NAD digital pre-amp and VinylStudio software then processed to CD-quality audio using Audacity software.
The video was created in Movie Maker, where the images and the music track were assembled into the final product.
Creating just one video such as this from a single track on a vinyl LP takes around fifteen minutes from start to finish.
One side of a six-track-per-side LP therefore takes around ninety minutes to create.
