My one & only love
My romance
It could happen to you
and about a million others!!
Liz
My vote goes for' You're The Top'
'You'd be so Nice to come Home To'
and
'I Get a Kick out of You'
All Cole Porter songs. His lyrics are wonderfully creative
Ann Alex
Another Cole Porter tune - 'What Is This Thing Called Love?' or should that be 'What? Is This Thing Called Love?'
Russell
My Romance,
This time The Dream's On Me always brings a tear to my eye whether I'm listening to it or singing.
That's All.
Olive R
Now, 3 romantic jazzy songs... I love you (for sentimental reasons) recorded by Kurt Elling on Live in Chicago, and there's a live clip on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tfviUUEGBEY. What I particularly like about his interpretation is that instead of singing "I love you," he sings "I love you." Excellent!
The Touch of your Lips recorded by Tony Bennett and Bill Evans on their 1975 album. As it goes through Bill's key-changes it feels happier and happier. I also love Tony's interpretation of the melody when it goes into swing. It's on YouTube here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QuDx1hwKuXA
A Time For Love recorded by Shirley Horn. She is untouchable as a ballad singer. I love how torturously slow this song is, and the spaces in her phrasing. It's magic. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vSL5AHhpi6U
Jill said.
I only have eyes for you
That old devil called love
Moonlight in Vermont
A Nightingale Sang In Berkeley Square
(you don't have to be British or passionate about aviary life to feel all mushy inside when hearing this song...it's one of my most requested)
More Than You Know
("loving you the way that I do..there's nothing I can do about it")
Come Rain Or Come Shine
(nice to think that love can be unconditional)
1. The title track of Ian Shaw's album Somewhere Towards Love (written by Ian).
2. Liane Carroll's version of Picture in a Frame by Tom Waits.
3. Would it be awfully pushy of me to suggest my own version of Tupelo Honey by Van Morrison on my album Table in the Corner?
let me think.... 'I'm Glad There is You' Two Sleepy People, Moon River (Tim loves the last one)
My current favourites are Close Your Eyes, You Go To My Head & My Funny Valentine....
I'm Putting All My Eggs In One Basket. Especially the version on 'Ella & Louis Again'with a rhythm section of Oscar Peterson, Louis Bellson, Ray Brown and Herb Ellis. An object example of how to swing.
14th February-Billy Bragg
Guess who I saw today?-Carmen Mcrae version
Romeo & Juliet-Dire Straits
Awwww..getting all emotional just thinking about it..
Sorry Lance but just too many good songs. And I've cut out all the unrequited love etc and stuck with two people in love.
I am very aware that the choice is that of an OAP centred on the Great American songbook; I haven't touched Stevie Wonder or show tunes. If you are looking for lyrics about loving (rather than being in love,) for me it's Stephen Sondheim. Try,for instance 'You must meet my wife.'or 'Remember '- just wonderful but not jazz.
I think it's the first 3 but it could equally well be any of the others, were I a little younger.
Folks who live on the hill.
There's a small Hotel.
Our Romance
Night and Day
Just you just me.
Day by Day
In a sentimental mood.
I didn't know what time it was.
The very thought of you.
Nearness of you.
Lullaby of Birdland
You go to my head.
Making whoopee.
IT could happen to you.
Love reading all these choices, I think we girls are reading from the same hymn sheet! Germaine I too Am a Stephen Sondheim fan, big time, I almost chose Losing my mind
Liz
Ella and Louis: The Nearness of You.
Too many others to post, but this is the best.
My favourite male vocalist Tony Bennett has got to be one of my top 3. I think for the beautifully romantic lyrics, his version of "La vie en Rose" with K.D. Lang takes some beating.
"The Look of Love" by Diana Krall.
Then last but not least my favourite female vocalist (bar 1!) Carmen McRae singing "What are you doing the rest of your life"
This song was played as the beautiful bride at Thursday's wedding walked towards the man she loves.
Hil.
Easy To Love by Cole Porter - from the album 'CHARLIE PARKER WITH STRINGS' - 1950
Personnel: Charlie Parker (alto sax), Joseph Singer (french horn), Edwin C. Brown (oboe), Sam Kaplan, Howard Kay, Harry Melnikoff, Sam Rand, Ziggy Smirnoff (violin), Isadore Zir (viola), Maurice Brown (cello), Verley Mills (harp), Bernie Leighton (piano), Ray Brown (bass), Buddy Rich (drums), Joe Lippman (arrange, conductor)
Lullaby of Birdland by George Shearing with lyrics by George David Weiss and recorded by Sarah Vaughn in December, 1954, for Mercury with trumpeter Clifford Brown.
(as a tribute to Robert Eberall a fan of mine who suported a lot of my gigs and who died on 2 Jan 2011).
Early Bird Tango by Charlotte Glasson - from the album charlotte's world wide web - 2010 (this was the song Andrew and I danced to at our wedding last Sept 5 2010 with the Charlotte Glasson Band playing live)
Star Eyes was the tune that jumped into my head when Lance mentioned this.
At Last by Etta James is another.
I was going to go for Satin Doll - lyric Johnny Mercer - but I heard Monk's Well You Needn't by Fiona at the Jazz Café I decided on that although I'm not sure if it is exactly Valentiney!
" I LOVE YOU, for several dirty reasons "
[ sorry ]aseniz
"I'll Only Miss Him When I Think Of Him"
- sung with incredible feeling by Carol Kidd. Sigh...
East of the Sun, Our Love is Here to Stay, Embraceable You.... truly off the top!
Lonnies Lament - Coltrane ballad that is probably my all-time favourite -, Beautiful Love and Lover Man.
well I'm nipping in with "I'll never smile again" as a tribute to Sir George Shearing
Liz
