This exquisite presentation is a luminous tapestry woven with threads of love, reflection, and faith.

This latest musical gem glimmers with romantic and spiritual depth, offering both serenity and inspiration—a testament to Professor Howdy’s incomparable devotion to preserving the golden age of beautiful music.

1) “Wonderful! Wonderful!” – Johnny Mathis (1957)
The journey begins with the velvet voice of Johnny Mathis, whose 1957 hit “Wonderful! Wonderful!” defined the sound of sophisticated romance for the postwar generation. With its soft strings, glowing harmonies, and Mathis’s incomparable tone—delicate yet fervent—this song envelops the listener in a cloud of moonlit affection. Mathis sings not merely with notes, but with emotion sculpted into sound; his phrasing is liquid, his delivery ineffably graceful. The effect is utterly transcendent—romance elevated to art.

2) “With a Song in My Heart” – André Kostelanetz & His Orchestra (1952)
From tender vocals to orchestral majesty, the next selection—“With a Song in My Heart”—emerges like a sunrise over a peaceful sea. Written by Richard Rodgers and Lorenz Hart in 1929 and brought to lush new life by André Kostelanetz in 1952, this rendition glows with orchestral brilliance. Kostelanetz, the maestro of “symphonic sentimentality,” transforms the song into a grand yet gentle meditation on love and joy. The violins sweep with golden warmth, while the woodwinds shimmer like early morning dew. It is both resplendent and magniloquent, a radiant celebration of melody’s eternal power.

3) “While We’re Young” – Walter Schumann Orchestra (1951)
The mood then turns intimate and contemplative with Walter Schumann’s hauntingly beautiful “While We’re Young.” First popularized in the early 1950s, this tender instrumental embodies the bittersweet fragility of youth and time. Schumann, known for his lush choral and cinematic compositions (including the theme for Dragnet), here crafts a tone poem of poignant delicacy. Its wistful strings and gentle rhythm invite listeners to pause, reflect, and cherish the fleeting moments of affection that define our human journey. The piece feels like a sigh from the heart—a melody that lingers long after the final note.

4) “He’s Everything to Me” – From Billy Graham’s Film The Restless Ones (1965)
Finally, Professor Howdy uplifts our spirit heavenward with “He’s Everything to Me,” the moving gospel ballad featured in Billy Graham’s 1965 motion picture The Restless Ones. Written by Ralph Carmichael and sung by Ralph Carmichael’s Young People, the song embodies the profound simplicity of faith expressed through melody. Its tender sincerity, radiant harmonies, and humble devotion capture the essence of Christian grace. It reminds us that beyond romance and beauty lies the supreme love—the divine one—which gives life its meaning and light.
