What a lesson in voice control and phrasing, another of the under rated greats of music history.
Singers listen and learn. I have never heard Carmens version of this song and on this night of discovery I thank you "jazzy" for helping me throgh this journey.
Happy Valentines Day World!
This lady has a beautiful command of the English language and lyrics. Its a pity that most of the so called singers of today for want of a better name dont have the same command. Pity. Guess we will have to wait a 100years or more !!!! Thank you for the download.
from Jose' "Timo" Sepulveda......Dear, sweet Lady......thank you so very much for posting this . People have forgotten how incrdibly beautiful and sublimely talented the great Carmen McRae was. I place her in the same class as Ella Fitzgerald, Sarah Vaughn and Barbra Streisand........great company indeed.
Am not sure how I missed your comment....so Sorry for responding to late...Yes, Carmen is the one that can bounce the words off the music sheets and place them right before our eyes....visually I can picture her standing outside of a window right now singing this song to her lover....and I am on the other side of the window looking out at her...lol...not many can do this with song. She is just so Wonderful and am glad she left all these gems behind!
