好像這曲廣為大多JazzBand最愛,北美高中生唱樂團參加匯演時此曲的中選率頗高,演奏上怎麽配器小號,薩克斯,xylophone,甚至鋼琴都能妙不可言,和聲演唱更能表現各聲部的圓滿動人。目前的音像資料裏1960年版的Lamber Hendricks and Ross演繹的還是最經典的(也是本片背景音樂MP3)。每年夏季加拿大Montreal,Tonroto,Vancouver輪番舉辦的城市爵士音樂節全球的本地的爵士人或多或少的有能演繹,往往這一時刻最是台上台下共鳴一方時刻,自然帶有時代的新元素。
這首經典爵士樂的歌詞也別具一格:I heard me a sermonette Have you heard it yet?
With that soulful message that you won't soon forget
It tells about real true love people lost sight of
through their sinful livin' and scornin' Heaven above
It tells you to love one another, To feel that each man's your brother
Live right, 'cause you know that you reap (just) what you sew
And so to have no regrets, and to find what you're missin,
Bow your head and listen to this sermonette
