Baby,Baby, Baby love you . She did the Sarah Vaughn arrangement. Baby Sister you are under rated. Every ear should hear you,see you feel your very soul through you voice Tony Dial.
Nice version of this Johnny Mercer/Jimmy Van Huesen classic. The musicians and the vocalist on the date are all terrific. They have good musical chemistry ; I'm not a big fan of scat singing, especially with jazz standards. That part of it I thought diminished the performance. The reprise after she said thank you, when the musicians started playing again was a nice finishing touch.
This is the lady who sang at the Iridium club in NYC nice..I hope we get tickets for her Dec 6 show that's my birthday fingers crossed....hint hint lol
Hi Chris, i sahred it again on my Jazz Group because it is very great music I will invite you to have a look and.....maybe be a member. Best Regards from Tim from the Netherlands facebook.com/groups/jazzvideo
Omg! The most fantastic version of this tune ever. I had been studying the tune Just Friends by various singers when, wham, right to the heart. Poor me is not familiar with this beautiful songstress but will be listening to everything she's got on youtube and then some.
I love it. One of my favorite Elton John songs. Done is this manner, it's just right man. Oh, it's not a jazz standard? So what. It's strong and a multi-listen for me. Thanks for uploading this. Upload more that AIN'T on jazzstandards.com.
This is perfect music. Love watching Chris weave his music; one of my favorite pianists. Cecil always draws me in with his bass, and I have been listening to Marshall for many years. Thank you for such a treat!
A few mentions of Sarah Vaughan's version here.........'Live in Japan' (1972). There is also a studio recording on 'Feeling Good' (1971). Anyway, there is another version by SV on youtube recorded in 1973 at the Continental Baths,(2nd tune), NYC. The video must have been left in the steam room but as always SV was in fine fettle and hilarious.
Helene Spierman, thank you for your wonderful comment. If you're on Facebook I can friend you and then you can inbox me from there. How Will I Remember You is beautiful!
Really LOVELY singing, and fine collaboration by the combo. I'm a niece of the composer, Walter Gross. Thank you for doing the song. Do you know his "How Will I Remember You?" Here's Rosemary Clooney. She recorded it twice; this is the later recording. There might be a digital skip near the beginning. The earlier recording is less "wiggly," and the orchestral arrangement is very soupy. Rosemary Clooney - How Will I Remember You But if you like it, I have sheet music!
