It gives me great pleasure to share this musical silhouette which highlights 20 years of popular love songs. Although this era produced no musical milestones like the swing of the forties or the rock and roll of the fifties, it did witness the rebirth of musical theater. With the assistance of British and American composers, productions of Phantom of the Opera, Evita, Cats, The Lion King, Beauty and the Beast and dozens more thrilled audiences in countless community playhouses and performance halls throughout the nation. Eventually, those melodies quietly filled people's lives around the world by way of digital technology and global communications.

 

Whether you are listening in your home, automobile, office, or winding your way through a wireless world; whether your musical taste tends toward classical, jazz, Bocelli or Madonna; whether your brightest memories are of the wall coming down in Europe, or the glorious sunrise of New Year's Day 2000, this album is dedicated to you, to the last 20 years, and also to the next 20.

 

Wherever the future takes us, I have to believe music will be found. Much like the timeless beauty of a single rose or the joyful smile of a new bride, the spirit of music is never obsolete, and I believe it will continue to lift our spirits and indelibly touch our lives.

 

If love is indeed eternal, then it is endless. It is my fond hope that in the days and years to come, we will all continue to appreciate the miracle that is music, we might all find joy and peace, and we will be filled with Endless Love.
