Manhattan Tower

Manhattan Tower was one of my favorite albums when I was in college -- just gorgeous and truly a girl's thing.  Not only is it a story about loving New York City but it is also a love story between a man and a woman, Julie and Stephen.   Daad just told me his sister Dodie adored this album and that he remembers her playing it nonstop when she was in high school and it drove everyone in the Hines family nuts!  Just like me! I wish I would have known this when Dodie was alive. 

I have no idea why this came to my mind but was thrilled I was able to upload it from Itunes and so my Ipod holds this musical treasure of the 1950s.   The arrangements of Gordon Jenkins are filled with lush strings.
