Music Monday: High upon this love, Dionne Warwick, The Bold and the Beautiful Monday Mayhem follows The closest I could get to a TV show is The Bold and the Beautiful. In the early 2000s I tempered vicious gradschool Stats with the entertainment  B&B offered.  Eric Marienthal renders a prominent saxophone feature and Dionne Warwick does the vocals. I love the combination.
