SONGS THAT CANNOT BE COVERED BY ANOTHER SINGER

[Lena & Harry Smith]

That's when age hits home Marian. When you can answer the questions that they cant.

THE GUY THAT FOUND THE LOST CHORD.....JIMMY DURANTE

[Pam]

Paul, Michael actually did a neat version of come fly with me, while I believe Matts songs CANNOT be done by anyone else, Frank could go just a half sharp off key from time to time.

Vikki Carr - SAN FRANCISCO OPEN YOUR GOLDEN GATE

[Marian]

SPARKY'S MAGIC PIANO - I'll try to find who did it, spoke rather than sang.

[dennyelvis]

Found this on it ...

SONNY BOY - AL JOLSON

[Josh]

Frank Sinatra - I've Got You Under My Skin(his 1956 rendition from Songs for Swingin' Lovers), one of the finest records of all time. Perfection.

I agree. But you also must hear the Dinah Washington live recording with Clifford Brown and Maynard Ferguson ... also one of the finest records of all time.

[Josh]

I'll try and keep an eye out for it Paul!

[Pam]

GUY AND RALNA - LET THERE BE PEACE ON EARTH(Guy and Ralna were a singing husband and wife on the Lawrence Welk show - did you get his show in the UK)

[hpooch]

"ENJOY YOURSELF" - Guy Lombardo w/The Trio on Vocal

"DADDY" - Sammy Kaye's Band on the Vocal

"YOU WERE ONLY FOOLING" - Blue Barron w/Clyde Burke & the Chorus

"SIZE 12" & "I" - Don Cornell

"SWEET & GENTLE" - Alan Dale

As you might see from the above - I collect "Crooners" and "Sweet Bands" from the 40s & 50s

Maybe we should have a topic - "Favorite Instrumentals" or "Favorite Big Bands"

[Pam]

SHEENA EASTON - FOR YOUR EYES ONLY

[Marian]

Henry, Peter had an idea earlier about the early bands and bandleaders we could remember, but we thought it might exclude the youngsters, but as they all are pretty knowledgeable, I think we should go for it.
Would you like to start the thread..

Crazy Love -- Helen Reddy

(I just had the extremely unfortunate experience to hear Sarah Kennedy play this song recorded by Michael Buble. I will have to avoid Radio 2 for the next month or fast-forward as soon as I hear the introduction of this super-bland, inferior version, which should have never been allowed. This song belongs to Helen Reddy.)

[Lena & Harry Smith]

We were thinking of taping Michael Buble's show for you Paul, but apart from Paul o Grady you wouldn't have like the abysmal celebrities, so we decided not to.

[paul jh]

Thanks for thinking of me, Lena and Harry.

I had purchased his and hers Jamie Cullum T-shirts (signed by the artist at his March concert) especially for the two of you. Maybe I'll give them to my niece and nephew instead.

[Lena & Harry Smith]

Ah thank you for thinking of us too Paul
Anyway..how was Jamies elbows looking.? I've some extra large plasters I could send him should the need arise.
