Paul Wylie's "JFK" is a fantastic piece of skating and art. In the typical Paul Wylie-fashion of telling a dramatic story on the ice to bold, yet sensitive music, with intricate choreography, Paul Wylie's performance to "JFK," from the soundtrack of the movie of the same name, is something to behold. And oh, that footwork! Dick Button would surely flip for this program!This performance is included on one of Stars On Ice's highlight films and I have from time to time, watched this performance on repeat. Paul Wylie and his skating is a gift to the world!
Here are some comments about Paul's performance from You Tube viewers that have commented on this video:
--"Paul skates with the same sort of dignity, grace, and passion President Kennedy had: a lovely tribute to a lovely man."
--"Gave me chills throughout my body. Nothing short of brilliant."
--"Powerful command of the ice and the story he is telling. Always marries the emotional with the technical... complete package skater... a skater's skater. The end with the solemn trumpet solo is heartbreaking and beautiful!"
Without further ado, here's Paul's "JFK":
