Um, Paul drives to a, a horrible sort of Cleo Laine sounding version cover of The Long and Winding Road.

Yeah.

Sex, it's se- it's the sex music, is it? Like a saxophone.

So that's coming up in a little while.

But to take us there, some great jazz vocals and playing, firstly from Jerry Mulligan with Annie Ross, then Cleo Laine.

This isn't sometimes, this is always This isn't maybe, this is always Yes, it's love, the real beginning This isn't just midsummer madness.

A passing glow amongst gladness.

Yeah.

She did a great duet with Cleo Laine, my two favorite jazz singers, and I was like … I found it on YouTube a couple months ago, I was like, "[gasps] I didn't even know they knew each other." It was amazing.

Alongside dozens of royals from across the world, celebrities who attended the party included Jockey Richard Dunwoody, Lord and Lady Palumbo, Cleo Lane, and John Dankworth, Sophie Anderton, and golfers Nick Faldo and Colin Montgomery.

John Dankworth? Dude should get in the pot business, name like that.

But what happened was that I was playing, this would have been September of 77.

I was playing lead guitar in the studio band.
