NIGHT MUSIC

from NIGHT MUSIC/HEARTSTRINGS (single)

written by David Foster

On the course of his spectacular career, David Foster always had a special knack for writing effective and catchy instrumental tunes. We all remember his 1985 hit, “Love Theme From St. Elmo’s Fire,” or “Winter Games,” the theme of the 1988 Calgary Winter Olympics. Another instrumental masterpiece, “Night Music,” was included on the soundtrack of the John Travolta/Olivia Newton-John movie “Two Of A Kind.”

from 25 OR 6 TO 4

“25 Or 6 To 4” is one of Chicago’s trademark songs. It was originally released in 1970 on the super-group’s second album and was written by the band’s keyboard player, Robert Lam. “25 Or 6 To 4” is an amazing rock anthem that perfectly showcases Chicago’s blend of rock and jazz thanks to Terry Kath’s amazing guitar, Peter Cetera’s powerful tenor and Chicago’s trademark in-your-face horns.
