The Breeze And I by
The Fentones, 1962
Originally a hit for Tommy Dorsey's big band in 1940, instrumental versions of this song were popular on both sides
of the Atlantic in the early 1960's, a staple of both British Beat rockers and various American Surf guitar bands.
My recent favorite version is by the American second-wave (1980's) surf band
Jon and the Nightriders, headed by surf music scholar and author
John Blair:
They manage to reach that high note all the other bands only allude to...
