I've got the original LP. Arrangements by Nelson Riddle. I reckon the other titles could qualify in the all-time list as well:
I've Got A Crush on You/I Guess I'll Hang My Tears Out To Dry/Crazy He Calls Me/Someone to Watch Over Me/I Don't Stand a Ghost of a Chance With You./What'll I Do?/ Loverman/ Goodbye.
Well Miles, nowadays I despair of Radio 2. They used to broadcast so much good stuff, particularly on a Sunday. Now all we have of the standards is David Jacobs at 11pm. This is just too late for many people of a certain age I feel. Gillian Reynolds says it all in her columns.She was always on with Parky in the days gone by & she adores the pre 1960's stuff. However, getting back to your words on "What's new?" you sure got that right...a wonderful number

The song is wonderful I totally agree. However I smile whenever I hear it played. It reminds me of a certain gentleman singer (not a geordie chap!!??) serenading just me with this particular number in the Jazz Cafe when I was sitting next to him about 20 yrs ago...lol...The fact that the band were actually playing another tune didn't deter him in the slightest. I wonder if anyone can guess who it was?..;o)
Hil.
Let me guess - it was either Mike or Dave the Rave? (Neither of them Geordie's)
Well it wasn't Mike....;o)
Mike used to play the trumpet and sing to me 'Cant Get Started with you' One of his favourite trumpet players Bunny Berigan recorded it in 1937.
I found this on Youtube with Maynard and Al Hirt http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dNl1QqnSL8Y
The last time Mike played it for me was at the Cork Jazz Festival in about 1990. He sounded fine...but one drunken Irish man ruined it for him by asking him if it was him playing and singing? When Mike replied..the Irish man said "Well stick to the f****** trumpet"....Sadly he never did sing it again...;o)
