The male common room at the Medical Faculty in the 1960s had a radiogramme. There were a few much played long playing records. One of them was Ahamed Jamal making his magic on the piano. The one I still remember was 'The Sentimental Journey'. I came across two renditions of 'The Sentimental Journey' by Doris Day on UTube.. I am giving the web addresses below. Please click on each to listen to it. I am sure that Ahamed Jamal's piano piece was the inspiration for a popular band rendition called 'The Kandyan Express' played very often in the early 1960s in Ceylon.

Enjoy the music of the old times.
