Romantic songs

Thanks Ferret. Here's an updated version of Lady Marmalade...

That was fabulous! Go Girls!
So, uh, does this mean that we've given up on romance and are doin' the bad girl/bad boy stuff? It certainly is easier to find. Then we can go on to the pain of heartache and then, getting even.

No schedule here, Ferret. But we got more bad girls...

"Vas y chingas a tu madre," which translates to...uh...nevermind.

MAYBE you might like this. first on american bandstand,1958 and then on pbs doowop,2007. they sure ain't lost it in 50 years.

1956. this reminds me of the loss of my virginity. i have the 2 record set of the movie which was much later.

IMHO, best song ever:

Great song. Here's one with Billie Holiday with a few friends. How about a backup band with Lester Young, Gerry Mulligan, Ben Webster and Roy Eldridge?

Billie is clearly past her prime (in fact both she and Lester Young died shortly after this was shot) but I still find it to be a very moving performance.

A great group....Anything with Gerry Mulligan is fine with me. I saw him at a jazz festival in Sedona, AZ years back shortly befor he died. Like the Lady Day vid, sadly well past his prime. The best thing about the Ella version I posted is the great Nelson Riddle backup & arrangement. I think he made Sinatra.

Roberta Flack...The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face

Shakira...I'll Stand By You.
It took me a while to find this. It impressed me at the time which was a benefit for Haiti. I had never seen Shakira in a video where she was not shaking her booty. Ripped jeans and all...awesome.
P.S. I forgot to say (in the last post) that I preferred Roberta Flack to Johnny Cash when singing "The First Time..."

A great Cole Porter song sung by K.D. Lang...don't get much better than this.

One from Billie Holiday at the age of 21...

I get a kick out of Frankie singing the original lyrics to this Cole Porter classic...

We have lots of CD's with quiet, romantic background music. One of our favourites is Jackie Gleason's "Tawny Music & Martinis & Memories". Here is just one of twenty-one on the disc..."I'll be seeing you"...Bobby Hackett on trumpet.

I dreamed of an angel...

I like Leonard especially the albums he made with Jennifer Warnes.
She use to sing on the Smothers Brothers Show.

The Hunter, Jennifer Warnes
Famous Blue Raincoat, (The songs of Leonard Cohen) Jennifer Warnes
