Lyrics and mp3: Jealousy by Frankie Laine (1951)

Okay, I know he sounds like Elvis. Or an Elvis impersonator. A bad one. But still, here’s Frankie Laine’s “Jealousy”

Jealousy! Night and day you torture me
I sometimes wonder if this spell that I’m under
can only be a melody for I know no one but me
has won your heart but when the music starts
My peace departs […]

Alicia Keys - Fallin’ - Lyrics & mp3

I know, it appears that I’m on an Alicia Keys kick here lately - maybe I am.
I also know that she’s considered R&B and not a “crooner” type, according to official genre types, but I can’t help it - She’s a crooner to me. Maybe it’s the piano, her voice, I don’t know… whatever it […]

You Are Loved (Don’t Give Up) - Josh Groban Lyrics and mp3

Josh Groban’s voice is simply beautiful, don’t you think? I found out the other night that he and Michael Bublé are very good friends, too! This song is beautiful, and I have to say, I know that it could be taken in any number of ways but I would probably bawl my eyes out if […]

Harry Connick, Jr. - Let’s Call The Whole Thing Off mp3

Harry was one of the original “new crooners” of our time, and there’s good reason why he succeeded so well - he’s amazing.
You say to-may-to, I say to-mah-to…

Louis Armstrong mp3 - Cheek To Cheek

This song reminds me of two movies, both kind of related in a “Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon” sort of way…The movie The Green Mile (if you haven’t seen it, just click that link go buy it now, because you’re going to love this flick) when John Coffey gets his last request before execution and […]

Frank, Sammy, and Dean - We Open in Venice

This one’s from “The Ratpack - Boys Night Out”
I simply love this collection!
Amazon Review:

Boys Night Out suggests the accompaniment to a PG-13-rated bachelor party, with an implied narrative arc and a stack of appreciative tunes about, er, dames. Frank, Dean and Sammy are heard mostly in solo settings, but the upbeat mood and brassy arrangements […]

Michael Buble - Can’t Buy Me Love mp3

I love the way Michael Buble does this song! Especially at the end, when he adds in a line or two from another popular Beatles song - “She Loves You”.

“Can’t Buy Me Love” can be found on the It’s Time album.

The Way You Look Tonight - Tony Bennett - MP3 and Lyrics

This has got to be the all time sweetest song around. I just love Tony’s voice in this, he sounds so sincere!
It’s featured in the film Swing Time, which won the Academy Award for “Best Original Song” in 1936.

The Way You Look Tonight
Some day, when I’m awfully low,
When the world is cold,
I will feel […]

What do Michael Buble and Billy Joel have in common?

I’m sure it’s more than this, but one major thing is that they’ve both covered Leonard Cohen songs. Billy Joel with “Light As The Breeze” and Michael Buble with “I’m Your Man”.
Can I just tell you that both of these songs make me quiver? I have a long story about Leonard Cohen songs… one that […]
