There are also two extended medleys of the famous songs from both West Side Story and Fiddler on the Roof as well as a cover of 'Evergreen,' the theme from a Star Is Born, which closes the album. Sandwiched in between is a great cover of the Beatles 'Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band'. with Montana producing and arranging and Moulton mixing every track delivers the classic Salsoul sound and feel.
