Love Letters (Straight From Your Heart)
A wonderful song by Victor Young - and a massive hit for the otherwise virtually unnoticed Ketty Lester in 1962. Ketty had a superb soulful voice, and the piano backing (by Lincoln Mayorga) was simple and understated. I've attempted to keep to the low-key feel of that record. I first recorded this over 2 years ago, but wanted to re-do it in HD and with a purely acoustic sound. I've also slightly altered the chord sequence and the dynamics of the piece. I first heard this around 1963, and the tune has haunted me ever since. Music, tab and chords are now freely available from my website at: http://www.willflyguitar.com And a video guide to playing it can be seen at: https://youtu.be/OEXsVZfZm4k
