'Take Five' [View all]

was written by saxophonist Paul Desmond, not Dave Brubeck. And in his estate planning, Desmond specified that his entire share of royalties from “Take Five” would go to one organisation: the American Red Cross.

That gesture has been estimated to generate more than $6 million for the Red Cross.
