THE LONELY SHEPHERD - James Last || Easy piano cover

“The Lonely Shepherd“ is an instrumental piece by James Last, first released in a recording with the Romanian panflutist Gheorghe Zamfir. Originally, the title was planned for the album Filmmusik ohne Filme, which was only to contain original compositions by James Last. This album was never released, so “The Lonely Shepherd “ was published on Last's 1977 album Russland Erinnerungen (Memories of Russia). In the same year, it was also released as a single, which reached 22nd on the music charts in Germany. With this recording, Gheorghe Zamfir, who had already published a number of records, succeeded in an international breakthrough. Among other things, he accompanied James Last in his 1978 tour. “The Lonely Shepherd“ has repeatedly been used as soundtrack. In 1979, it was used as the title theme for the six-part television series Golden Soak (Das Gold der Wüste). In 1983 it was used as the love theme of a Venezuelan series called “Chao, Cristina“ pr
