Im used to Marlene Dietrich's version. They actually kinda remind me of each other in some ways. neither of them have the usual tricks of a singer, no huge range, belting, hitting high notes, or super long sustained phrases and stuff. they dont need that to be captivating
they have completely unique, distinct, and enormously expressive sounds. and communicate so much, tell the story of life as they lived it, so brilliantly
The thrill of the thought That you might give a thought To my plea casts a spell over me Still I say to myself: get a hold of yourself Can't you see that it can never be? You go to my head With smile that makes my temperature rise Like a summer with a thousand Julys You intoxicate my soul with your eyes Tho I'm certain that this heart of mine Hasn't a ghost of a chance in this crazy romance, You go to my head
wanted to tell you i've posted your lovely video of YOU GO TO MY HEAD on my blog (just dial club skorecki on google, you'll be there) , along with EIGHT other spendid versions of this song ... hope you'll come and see ... and listen ....
Although I don't really care for Billie's voice ( I think it's too tinny) I love the emotion she injects to this song. Very soulful...from a woman who had such a tragic life. So sad that she only lived to the age of 44. I think that she sings with such feeling, it compensates for a lack of tonal quality. And I love this slow, jazzy version better than her other. The words are superb. They just don't write lyrics like this, anymore.
oh I love it!!

You go to my head
You go to my head,
And you linger like a haunting refrain
And I find you spinning round in my brain
Like the bubbles in a glass of champagne.
You go to my head
Like a sip of sparkling burgundy brew
And I find the very mention of you
Like the kicker in a julep or two.

It is Interesting that the exact phrase which you mention below is the one that touches me the most in the entire song.
What a lovely, sweet, tender, nostalgic voice this woman had.
For real soul , real feeling....give me Lady Day anytime !!!

"With a smile that makes my temperature rise like a summer with a thousand Julys." That's such a good fucking line.
