NEW ORLEANS<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Do You Know What It Means to Miss New Orleans – Louis Armstrong<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

New Orleans is a city that reveals its deep-rooted history through its cuisine, live music and dynamic celebrations. This remarkably laid-back city, which is also known as The Big Easy, reflects its origins through sumptuous dishes like gumbo, while its great passion for music is evident on every corner. Then there’s the abundance of festivals and parades, with Mardi Gras among the celebrations. For a city that’s known as the birthplace of jazz, it’s only natural we’d find inspiration in ‘Do You Known What It Means to Miss New Orleans’ by jazz great Louis Armstrong.<\/p>\n

NEW YORK CITY<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"Travel<\/p>\n

New York, New York – Frank Sinatra<\/strong><\/p>\n

With its infectious energy, it’s no mystery why so many people fall for New York. This is a city that’s considered one of the world’s great culinary capitals for its street food, fine dining and artisanal food scene, and one that’s celebrated as a major cultural hub too, where each individual neighbourhood shows off its distinct attributes. Named ‘The City that Never Sleeps’, New York is famous for its round-the-clock activity, and it’s even a phrase used by the iconic singer Frank Sinatra in his resoundingly popular song, ‘New York, New York’.<\/p>\n

Walking in Memphis – Marc Cohn<\/strong><\/p>\n

Situated on the Mississippi River in southwest Tennessee, Memphis rarely fails to charm people with its music and soul food. Delve into the city’s musical heritage by soaking up the sounds of Memphis blues and by paying a visit to Graceland, the home of Elvis Presley. It was American singer-songwriter Marc Cohn who came up with the all-time favourite ‘Walking in Memphis’ though, describing his visit to the city as \u201cone of those trips where you’re different when you leave\u201d.<\/p>\n

CALIFORNIA<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"Travel<\/p>\n

California Dreamin’ – Mamas & Papas<\/strong><\/p>\n

Whether it’s the laid-back lifestyle, friendly people, or diversity of both landscape and city that most appeals, it’s hard not to be seduced by California. From the vibrant city of San Francisco to the rolling vineyards of Napa Valley, and from the natural beauty of Yosemite National Park to the famously scenic Californian coast there’s an abundance of sites to see across the state. The feel-good song, ‘California Dreamin’ was first recorded by Barry McGuire, but it was The Mamas & the Papas who were behind the 1965 version that made it on to Rolling Stone’s list of The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time.<\/p>\n

Midnight Train to Georgia – Gladys Knight & The Pips<\/strong><\/p>\n

With its mountainous north, open farmland and coastal marshland that’s close to beaches and islands, Georgia encompasses a diverse spectrum of landscapes. And the same can be said for its urban areas, with vast metropolises contrasting with the more traditional small towns. After exploring the state’s oldest city, Savannah, head to the island of Hilton Head and Charleston Tea Plantation. Find inspiration for your trip in the Grammy award-winning song ‘Midnight Train to Georgia’ by Gladys Knight and The Pips.<\/p>\n

\"Travel<\/p>\n

Route 66 – Natalie Cole<\/strong><\/p>\n

Stretching all the way from Chicago to Los Angeles, the route encompasses some of America’s major sites, from Oklahoma City and Albuquerque to the spectacle of Grand Canyon National Park.
