Laura Ainsworth – “Once Upon A Time” – (official music video )
Dallas-based retro jazz singer Laura Ainsworth specializes in giving Great American Songbook era songs a new lease on life through unique arrangements and creative videos. Her new video from her latest album “You Asked For It,” the 1962 Broadway ballad “Once Upon A Time” by Charles Strouse and Lee Adams, features a sensitive vocal/sax rendition accompanied by heart-touching visuals by animator Moung Marma, beautifully and artistically depicting the passage of time and the loss of innocent first love. Sax solo by Chris McGuire. Video copyright 2024 by Eclectus Records.
