“The Impossible Dream” (Hesitations) #42 4/20/1968

The Hesitations re-did another standard from the Great American Songbook, this time from the long-running Broadway musical “Man Of La Mancha.” The show dealt with the travails of Don Quixote leading up to his trial during the Spanish Inquisition. This song has been recorded hundreds of times by everyone from Frank Sinatra to Elvis to Glen Campbell. Even Scott Bakula sang it on the show during his days as Sam on “Quantum Leap,” long before his role on “NCIS: New Orleans.”
