Don't know if anyone posted it here already (almost one month ago now), but I eventually wanted to share: http://www.jameslast.com/de/startseiteneu/?wpf_lang=en

James Last, the famous and long-running bandleader, died on June 9, aged 86. His music has always been in my life, inspired me always and will continue to inspire me.

He started his band inspired by the Beatles at that time and continued to have a band until this year 2015. He went accross many styles, complete revolutions in society but kept entertaining a lot of people. I somewhere read: "When you hear James Last's music, your heart is singing and your feet are tapping." Last's music covered classical music, jazz, pop and rock, a rather broad coverage but always sounds OK.

Now just listen this one (and keep the quote above in mind):
