Forgotten Oldie - Lady Lynda

Today's Forgotten Oldie is based on a musical work written by J. S. Bach in 1716. You can hear what Bach wrote here: http://youtu.be/RdWVfrZ3MeQ.

In 1979, Beach Boy Al Jardine used Bach's composition to write Lady Lynda as a tribute to his wife. A couple of the lines in the lyrics are a little strange, but the music is beautiful - especially the counterpoint towards the end of the song.

Crank up your speakers and enjoy: http://youtu.be/Pzd4D9ndtok.
