Beautiful !  Thanks for sharing...I looked on Amazon for a 'CD' by this person but didn't come up with one. Do you know if there is one?  Easy listening piano music is my go to  for decompression.

sarahpanda, I checked, too.  Unfortunately, Lee Shapiro's audio CD is no longer available, but he is available on MP3 Music on Amazon.  I regard Lee Shapiro as a brilliant musician who brings heart, intelligence and soul to his renditions of favorite tunes.

 

I am so glad that you recognized his talent and his effect on you was what I was experiencing.

Lee Shapiro and Frankie Valli

 

Lee was one of the Four Seasons at one time.  Looking at the photo above, he is to the right of Frankie Valli.  When with the group, he was the keyboardist, artistic director and, of course, one of the singing Seasons.

 

The biggest hit that Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons ever had was "December, 1963 (Oh, What a Night)".  Lee was with the group at that time, and he is part of that magnificent history.
