Trombonist Don Lusher can also be seen in the video of the Ted Heath Orchestra where he first made his name. This film recorded at a charity concert in 1998 reunites him in the 'Best of British Jazz' with three other ex-Heath bandmates - Kenny Baker, Jack Parnell and saxophonist Roy Willox (born 1929). This version of the Matt Dennis ballad showcases Lusher's honeyed tone and also features a lovely solo from pianist Brian Lemon (born 1937).
