An amazing piece for a variety of ages and skills with a very timely message! Personally, what I like about this arrangement is the fairly simple melody line combined with the syncopated accompaniment pattern in the left hand. It is a great way to practice and refine your swing technique; overall an amazing find!

Michelle’s arrangement brings back this timeless melody and message with luscious jazz chords and a catchy rhythm. The arrangement is complete with a sweet introduction, a melody with great dynamics and a perfect ending that reminds us of what the world needs now.
