Unexpected lounge piano bangers

As a music lover sometimes I sneak in songs even though I’m not sure how popular they will be. My repertoire consists of number one hits and top 40 but it can be difficult to tell which oldies still resonate with people today. Or if my arrangements are clear enough to be recognizable. This is the challenge of a solo instrumentalist.

With that said, here are three unexpected bangers that generate lots of positive reaction consistently.

  1. We’ve Only Just Begun by The Carpenters

  2. Sister Golden Hair by America

  3. Day by Day from Godspell by Stephen Schwartz
