Such a great song, this one! Billie, with Buck Clayton, Lester Young, etc. - maybe Teddy or Joe Sullivan on piano. Fabulous. I'd love to hear Roly singing it sometime too!
Alan Rudd tells me that Olive has been singing "You're a Lucky Guy" for quite a few years going back to the Burton House where Ronnie Pipe wrote an arrangement for her.
Lance I'm totally intrigued by the lyrics of this song and like you I'm not sure if I'm missing something. Is the singer singing about herself and the lucky guy, or the guy and another woman? Billie doesn't sing it in an ironic way. it's quite different when sung by a man (I listened to Dave Frishberg) unless of course the two men are in a gay relationship.
