Carmen McRae - If You Never Fall In Love With Me

[jessandjazz7]

This is vintage! I remember meeting her when i was a teenager. My Mother, who was a

vocalist and friend of hers introduced me. She was in rehearsal at a club in St. Louis. She

was very personable and professional. She held up rehearsal to talk and i stayed for the

entire rehearsal. Every performer at one time will have to adhib. They have many, many

songs in their repertoire. You forget or interchange lyrics, lol. This was an era the stars

fell on.

[KeymiiMusiic]

Beautiful...Could somebody send me the lyrics of the song? please :)

[elleisafreak]

great talent

[OrmondTheMagnificent]

So refreshing to hear and see REAL TALENT!!!! So sad it's gotta come from a fifty year-old clip, though. How far music has fallen since those days...

[ClickTheTurtle]

Class act!

[toyne38]

She is super! Does anyone have side B of her " You don't know me".

[justinlaboy]

see how she turned a mistake into something awesome? amazing professional!

[keepthemusicplaying0]

Charming, sassy and a great performer !!!

[francescodisanfranci]

c armen had it from day one as piano player and a great story teller in song i will love her forever i can still feel the love and soul in my whole body and mind from sitting at her feet for two weeks at the Matodor bringing me to tears and joy with beauty with her strength and tenderness i have seen her in many music clubs maybe 100 times and she still can blow a little dust off my heart

[deepkeel65]

1958-1960?

[watcherof47]

Carmen you was a very cool Person! And I love your ironic phrasing and very strong voice.

[WilliamCarole1977]

How can you not love Carmen? She had an icy-cool way about her, easing through songs like she was getting ready for work. She almost appeared bored, but that was part of her charm. The lady~giants of jazz all eased through songs but not with the aloof and matter-of-fact approach of McRae. She was definitely one of the greats. I can't believe that she doesn't have a star on the walk of fame....

[operabug]

Amazing again and again !!!!

Do you know the year on this?

[beeshor1]

I think Carmen was just a beautiful as she wanted to be here. In the beginning, it seems like the pianist [Norman Simmons] is somewhat intimidated by her simple question of, "How was that...did you enjoy doing that?" But they settle into a swingin' version of this tune and she's just brilliant throughout. I love her.

[CheckMate657879]

@beeshor1 Carmen Mcrae could be quite hard on her pianists. I've been to her rehearsals. If you'd witnessed the rehearsals, you'd fully understand.

[beeshor1]

This is so good! How could anyone NOT love this!

[AmyVinyl]

So underrated

[elizabethfaraone]

Thanks for posting Carmen McRae.....

[lobodebosque]

Es taaaaaaan hermosoooo... me conmueve profundamente...

[MsSmudge71]

correction to coda lyrics

with all my hopes at an end

My world would tumble to ruins

And yet I see no reason

Why we should let

Fate change the stream of romance

When all it needs is a chance

[lestmbly]

I love her repport with the camera before she got into the song..She seems very comfortable and well at ease with herself..Without a doubt a women of strength, confidence, sex appeal and yet very feminine at the same time..Women of today take notes cause most of you have'nt got a clue...

[Apuole]

I fell in love with her.:D

[hisvorpalswords]

We miss you Carmen!

[lawfox789]

[bartandart]

Hey I'm not a native english but that's how I heart it, there are some mistakes for sure, but someone will correct me anyway :)

I loved you so since that first day

The angels let you leave and come my way

Dont you see what a lost lady Im able to be

If you never fall in love with me

Im not the girl I was before

Cause now you own my heart for ever more

Ill be a sail or a drift on an uncharged sea

If you never fall in love with me

[bartandart]

If you come trough say that youre mine Ill make your life great big valentine Well be ???? new love world for two And well find joy no lovers ever knew I wanna stay here by your side And keep your arms forever occupied Cant you imagine how empty my future would be If you never fell in love with me If you come trough say that youre mine Ill make your life great big valentine Well be ???? new love world for two And Well find joy no lovers ever knew

[lawfox789]

Thank you so much,

And I wanna tell you something I think that

this part of the song it's

We'll build the new love world for two.

And I wanna ask you, where are you from?

and, what lenguage do you speak?

[479Lucy]

We'll build a new love world for two

[bummedoutforlife]

i think it's we'll build a new love world for two

[bartandart]

I wanna stay here by your side

And keep your arms forever occupied

Cant you imagine how empty my future would be

If you never fell in love with me

This little tragedy could turn into a rhapsody

With all my hopes sated in my world would trumbled to ruin

And yet I see no reason we should let

They change as dream of romance

When all that need is a chance

[Pedrolarrozapretti]

You know what's most curious?

Even after all of that "unresponsiveness" at the begining, the pianist was really cunning and quick to give her the tone of the song in a discrete way at the very instant she turned back at him, actually before she even asked "Okay?".!!!

=)

[BrunoJazzmanLeicht]

She was quite a gal ;) and yesssir: She was very authoritative with her musicians, quite bossing around sometimes. But so were Betty Carter and Anita O'Day or Sarah Vaughan. Tough ladies with a life experience. Great musicians as well!

[beeshor1]

This is priceless! It's great to see Carmen bantering with her band! This is enjoyable jazz. Thanks for sharing this.

[hermease]

Wonderful!

[GreenNostalgia]

This is a treasure. I love it.

[davidhazard71]

This footage is great. It's amazing that something from this era has such wonderful audio. Very clear. Thank you so much for posting this clip. I saw this once in a documentary , and it was only the last part. Thanks again.

[willuk]

hahaha I bet it was along those lines!

[PeacefulRuler]

She slapped him on the back of his head when he was actin' dumb! "Don't embarrass me like that again, boy! What are ya, an idiot?!"

:)

[willuk]

I love seeing a little bit of Carmen's infamous attitude in this. I bet she cursed him after for sitting there so unresponsive! lol

[inlovewithiphop]

this song is the best!
