This genuinely makes me cry. It's the one tune every man loves. And it sounds like a Broadway showstopper. Just an amazing talent. Thank you for your service, sir.

Just...bloody....superb......The quality of this music speaks for itself when a cheer can go up from a crowd like that for a forty year old composition that was originally classed as 'library music'. Pure class.

It's actually a baritone sax - the bend of the bass sax protrudes higher above the mouthpiece, and its bell is fatter. The saxophonist does resemble Michael McDonald, I agree!

Alan Hawkshaw was a legend! A friend of mine knew him and said he was a really nice chap. I didn’t get the chance to meet him, but I played a gig in Wokingham with a friend back in 2008 and Keith Mansfield was in attendance and he gave us a nice compliment, which made my day.

Still sport on a Saturday afternoon on the BBC, and often on ITV. But not as we knew it. BBC need to get the horse racing and golf back for any hope of a return to the good old days. They still have the rights to athletics, tennis, Wimbledon, rugby internationals and a number of other minority sports they used to show on Grandstand but without the horse racing and golf we are still stuck with too much Bargain Hunt. Bargain Hunt doesn't sit right on BBC1 on a Saturday afternoon. Neither does what ITV shows on Sarurday afternoons of mass non sporting content and that has been going on for 35 years since they axed World of Sport.

Hard pressed to find two harder working musicians back in the 60's. KPM 1000 series contains the best library music ever. It helped etch a massive form in the british 60's TV music style. Not forgetting Brian Bennett, Syd Dale, John Cameron, Duncan Lamont, Johnny Pearson, Dave Lindup & Johnny Hawksworth. Sensational.

Somehow I ended up back here, but that is no surprise - sad to hear of the passing of Alan - I would have crawled across broken glass to have been there on that evening. Amazing rendition, I so wish I was there. Hope Keith is OK... Rather interesting to note that the recent repeats of Top Of The Pops on BBC4 from 1992 featured the track "It's A FIne Day" by Opus III - fronted by Kirsty, daughter of Alan, being incredibly beautiful and unique. Hope she's doing OK too.
