The last "Show Express" and the James Last-Band.

- "Show Express, episode 9 Finale November 11, 1982."

- "Chances are you know someone who has at least one LP by The James Last Orchestra. James Last is responsible for bringing classical music to the masses. He enjoyed enormous popular and commercial success. He were reviled by the critics."

"By sanding off the harder edges and introducing a kind of smooth electro-disco beat beneath the big-band recordings of chart hits he created a new genre: "non-stop party muzak". Despised by the pop and rock cognoscenti, Last kept going with his series of Non-Stop Dancing albums that began in 1965."

"The statistics alone are phenomenal: more than 100 million album sales, 52 hit LPs in 20 years, upwards of 2,500 concerts. Last is a non-stop profit machine."

"Last's biggest hit was The Seduction, the theme song from Paul Schrader's American Gigolo, composed by Giorgio Moroder. Last's version was a top 40 hit, peaking at 28 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and at number 22 on the Adult Contemporary chart in 1980. When edgy film director Quentin Tarantino used his recording of The Lonely Shepherd with pan pipe maestro Gheorghe Zamfir for Kill Bill Volume 1 his credibility was assured."

"The 1970s were Last's golden years — he was named Billboard Magazine's star of the year in 1976 — but he enjoyed a career rebound in the 1990s when Easy Listening was, briefly, back in style and the German composer of “happy party sounds” was hailed as a cult hero."

"James Last...The Emperor Of Elevator Music."
