I was a teenager and my musical diet had basically been classical and contemporary christian music. Then a friend shared the When Harry Met Sally soundtrack album with me, and my life changed. I know now that a very young Harry Connick Jr was really reaching back to his best Sinatra with these big band arrangements. but as a 14-year-old, I just knew it was fantastic music in a style that I'd never really heard before.
