In the enchanting world of music, two captivating figures converge: Lya de Putti, a Hungarian film actress from the silent era, and Lita Roza, a sultry singer who graced the stage with the Ted Heath Orchestra. At the Forum Theatre in Hatfield, Hertfordshire, on 18 November 1983, their paths crossed, igniting a magical night of music. Don Lusher, bandleader of the esteemed Ted Heath Orchestra, conducted the symphony of sounds, while Denis Williams captured the essence of their performance in art. Meanwhile, thousands of miles away, in Yakima County, Washington, the Roza irrigation canal, a concrete-lined waterway from 1939, mirrored the soothing rhythm of the music, whispering its own melodic tale. And as the music flowed, Lita Roza's voice touched the hearts of all who listened, seeing with their fingers the beauty of her artistry.
