Welcome to Guitars & All That Jazz

Guitars & All That Jazz was a radio station that webcast via Live365 for 11 years, ending in June 2011. The playlist consisted of guitar instrumentals, jazz, big band, early rock 'n' roll, lounge music and classic easy listening.

I hope to share some of this music with you via this blog. Most of it will be taken from the original vinyl (LPs and 45s) , cassettes and the occasional commercially unavailable CD.

Here's hoping you'll find something to enjoy. Please note files are available only for a limited time.

I urge you to purchase the digital version of the albums featured, either on CD or via download, wherever possible.

Bill Justis - More Instrumental Hits (Post No. 2)


More Instrumental Hits was the seventh in a series of at least eight albums in which arranger/conductor Bill Justis covered top (mainly instrumental) hits from the 1960s. Further details on this 1965 LP and others in a similar vein recorded for Smash are in this earlier post.

Among the songs tackled by Justis on More Instrumental Hits is Love Me with All Your Heart, which the Ray Charles Singers took to No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1964. The song originated in Spain as Cuando Calienta El Sol. Justis follows the arrangement of the Ray Charles Singers very closely.

Love Me with All Your Heart



Englebert Humperdick had a popular version of Love Me with All Your Heart in 1970 and many other artists, including The Bachelors and Jerry Vale, have also recorded it.

Here's the hit recording by the Ray Charles Singers.


Note: Bill Justis's Smash recordings remain unavailable in a digital format.
