Time for a musical interlude, and this is fabulous. It's one of the songs that's said to have won World War II, a real nostalgia piece: A Sunday Kind of Love, and it took four people to write it: Anita Leonard, Barbara Belle, Stan Rhodes, and Louis Prima. 

Etta James did a fantastic version of it, but this version is by Reba McEntire, and it is equally as good. And the video that goes along with it depicts a WW II soldier returning home to his family after the war, and it's very much like the scene from The Best Years of Our Lives with Fredric March and Myrna Loy and every bit as poignant. And then you find out at the end that the little girl in the video represented Reba's character, and the soldier coming home represented her father. It's riveting, and the music soars.
