She had such a beautiful voice...and this song was so wonderful...young and in love!

a major hit for Perry Como, who was one of the greatest of singers

Peter Kreuder - Donkey Serenade - 1938

this is a fun piece from long ago, not heard today, at all.

I want to go to Daryl's house and choose the songs for each artist....oooobhhhhh, what fun..

rick braun - nightwalk

the horn is great and he can sing...have you heard him on Siriously Sinatra, with SAY IT, he also sings!!  The song could be a major hit with enough plays....I can't find it on You Tube

Los Indios Tabajaras Adios,

We all have very favorites...I love the Los Indios Tabajaras.. version of Adios.  So Adios for today.

Billy May - Adios

well maybe I am going to just chug along today, so I guess I will go ride my bike and leave you with one of my favorite songs...

Billy May - Perfidia - (Audiofoto).wmv

Look what i stumbled on, Billy May was a great arranger and band leader!

I CAN'T GET STARTED - Bunny Berigan 1937

This is the way I feel today!  I can't get started

I Talk the Trees Clint Eastwood from Paint Your Wagon?

The beauty of the changing leaves....and would you believe Clint Eastwood.

Peerce and Powell - Talk to The Trees!

Here is a song that is likely well forgotten, it was a lovely tune, I remember my mother played this record often.

Xavier Cugat - Perfidia (Tonight I see a Message in your Eyes)

A wonderful version from the master of the time...Xavier Cugat...

Luis Miguel - Perfidia - Chile 2002

This is such a grand song!  Here is a heart throb from South America...with a great voice.....

Los Indios Tabajaras Amapola, Perfidia

Seems  I like to talk about songs that fit, the vocalist, here is a song that fits the guitar....its sweet, its longing...its bittersweet in the sounds of the guiltar.  I maintain that the song you pick, has to fit your voice....always bear that in mind and don't let anyone tell you otherwise....

JOHNNY MATHIS - BEGUIN THE BEGUINE -

and nowwwww folks!  This is my favorite...are you with me....love the arrangment, and the voice is smooth, velvety and reaches the high notes gently!

Begin the Beguine - Dionne Warwick In Brazil 1993

One more version, the voice with depth fits the song....I think!

Jo Stafford - Begin the Beguine

Here is another example of the sound of the voice for this piece....its just my opinion, what do you think?

Ella Fitzgerald∻"Begin The Beguine"

Here is a great voice for this song with the fullness  of tone , pitch and presentation..

Begin The Beguine -Sheryl Crow

 In my opinion this song is not for Sheryl Crow, because this is the competition.
