VANNO: THE MOVIE
One of the smartest things Martin Scorsese did in The King Of. Comedy was bracket it with songs by Ray Charles and Van Morrison. The movie may have had a chilly souilessness, but at either end there were voices that virtually define soul. There’s a direct line between Charles and Morrison, and it’s very evident on A Sense Of Wonder, a record that comes at you with a clear sense of purpose.
