That's Life
Three cool cats and one brassy broad perform the memorable sounds of the supper clubs of the 50s and 60s. As the teeny boppers had their bubblegum music, the grown-ups were listening to Sinatra, Dino and Clooney. Songs such as "New York, New York," "You're Nobody 'till Somebody Loves You" and "Only You" pay tribute to the classic era.
Nostalgic and contemporary
