'At Last' (music by Harry Warren, lyrics by Mark Gordon) sung by Elvis Costello accompanied by pianist Marian McPartland for her radio program "Piano Jazz" released on CD in 2003. CD tracks alternate between introduction and discussion of the song to follow. Elvis speaks of his father (Ross McManus) who was trumpet player and later a singer with the Joe Loss Orchestra. Elvis explains that his desert island record would that of his father singing this song. (I have attempted to locate a recording of Ross McManus singing this for years without any but a little luck...I did find a sample of the track with the intro and the first line , and Elvis indeed does sound like his old man. I will not give up my search and will be sure to upload here if I find a copy. (Note: I DO NOT OWN THIS MATERIAL AND WILL REMOVE IT IMMEDIATELY UPON REQUEST FROM OWNER)
