Madlyn Fafard,

music, thoughts, books, dreams, more

Just my world of dreams, music and thoughts. Author of two books, one a novel of Love stories set in Framingham, Mass, Secrets of the Heart the 2nd book an autobiography of growing up in Framingham, Mass. Small Town America, Framingham My generation was the first teenage generation, that was when the word was coined. Ours was the generation that started cruising through town and to the drive in theater and drive in restaurant. In our area, Ernie Kampersal,from Holliston, drove his bucking car through town, picking up girls. It rose in the air, like a stallion! We went to the soda shops and played the juke boxes. It was a different town, a different time, and it belonged to us!

Sinatra 80th- Live in Concert - Angel Eyes-13

notice the vocal difference in performances,

Angel Eyes

You can melt into this version of course with the great Frank Sinatra, and fantastic Nelson Riddle. It reaches down deep inside, a brave hesitant version....

Chet Baker - Angel Eyes

these are some good comparisons, on Angel Eyes.

sting angel eyes

Sting, makes this a song of longing....you wait for the next word/sound

This Time The Dreams On Me

Comparing, Julie London 's voice and arrangement to suit her voice, she gets an A, while June Christy gets an A for this arrangment

Julie London Angel Eyes

Her husky voice always made me think of Chris Connor, this is probably another song for K.D. Lang

Lena Horne - Moanin' Low

Lena does a nice job with this version.

Moanin' Low - Harry James. From 'Young Man with a Horn' (1950)

Harry James, wow, this song fits his style.

Billie Holiday - Moanin' Low

today, I was thinking of this song....wonder if K. D. Lang would fit this song...???
