Body and Soul

George Gershwin has 29 all by himself.

Keep going, though, and almost half the top 100 are by Jewish Americans, six out of the top ten, and all of the top three, with Johnny Green's ballad Body and Soul claiming the number one spot as the most recorded jazz standard of all time.

Thank you.

Jewish Americans have also played all sorts of behind-the-scenes roles that were pivotal in the history of jazz.

Let's do something together.

With 50 plus artists showcasing a wide spectrum of art there is bound to be something for every artistic taste.

We go out with music from former Wainemata College art teacher Jenny Morris, singing her hit Body and Soul.

And we go into tonight's show with another episode in the history series with former Petone Mayor and Petone Woollen Mills worker Annie Huggin.

It was recorded in 1979 with Jenny Forsyth and it's part of Hutt City Library's audio archives.
