My one and only love is the favorite song that my late husband dedicated to me . I love this song very much and it reminds me of the love we had for each other during our 43 years of marriage. Until now I love listening to the song I will always treasure and enjoy listening all the time.
The absolute very best of all the many versions I have seen or heard (and there are many great ones) is sung by Doris day with Andre Previn's piano. This is performed with so very much intimacy and is so very sensual.🤔🤗❤️
I love George Benson! And his band musicians are excellent. The arrangement did modulate back and forth between the keys of C and D but a bit awkwardly. Still great.
George Benson, a great admirer of Nat Cole, who probably influenced his taste of ballads and style. His "Beyond The Sea" rendition is the best, seen on RU-vid. Never liked that song til I heard Benson sing it.
It often sounds like George is going in one direction and the drummer is going somewhere else until about minute 5:00 Its good that the piano player was able to drive the song, as the drummer is lost in space. And of course George is always great, as the man is a jazz pop guitarist treasure house
You are speaking of Terry Lyne Carrington, one of the best and most experienced drummers worldwide, man. Are you really sure she can be lost in a well-knowned ballad ? If not, maybe, hem, ahhh,.... it's YOU who's lost !!! :o))))
Worked for a doc that served him on the scene in the 80's (the guy acted entitled & cheap) He paid the lesson forward to me. He always treated me with dignity & respect. I was his first receptionist & to this day I truly admire His insights #LESSON never think more of oneself than necessary... #DJC
Peter Farrar:- The Wood/Mellin beautiful romantic ballad, "My One & Only Love," was decimated by George Benson when he tried to sing this beautiful ballad. George, to be realistic & honest, your musical talents for singing romantic ballads are net zero. Please stick to your favourite musical instrument the guitar. Words of justified criticism by Peter E. Farrar.
