    No, not so all three are the songwriters I seek. Mr Bennett, a fine singer of his genre, but not a renowned songwriter! The Job is not quite finished!

      Well, according to wiki - Quiet Night of Quiet Stars was written by Antonio Carlos Jobim, aka Tony?

          Well, I hadn't heard of either the song nor him! So, it's Ammy or Caliban to set the next, or do we have to skip backwards, are we missing someone's letter? (You know me, stickler for the rules!) <sticky out tongue emoticon>

            Ammy, would you take the R? Going to be a little tied up for a while (Nurse!!!)

                  Yes, I am aware of Astrud G and Girl from Ipanema, nothing else about her, sorry! A friend is actually big fan of Tony Bennett, went to see him London, couple of years ago? If we are going back to the old crooners I prefer Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin, that's being really Retro. And, Sammy Davies Jnr. is pretty good.
                  Edit: offline until pretty late I think, or even tomorrow morning.

                      I'm not very happy with this but anyhow, here's an R to search for.

                      A Belgian group, which might perform examples by Gabrieli or Frescobaldi to change the tone; or 3 or 6 voices might perform examples by Bach.

                        Totally fine, Calibs - my pooter went bonkers for a while so I turned it orf & went for a snoozle and came back with two books that I hadn't realised that I'd got (the joys of new bookcases & unpacking books after nearly 3 years of storage) from way back so spent some time working out why I rather enjoy that scenario.

                          Indeed... I'm told you can get an ointment that'll sort that out, Ammy.
