[disdain666666]

were did you find tong with no vocals i want do cover to?

[mettanc]

it s great song for actors/singer's. i wiash all the songs i did were like this....but most r just stand up and sing!...boring!

[HandwhistlerBen]

Michael- I put a comment up here, but it disappeared. This is by far one of your finest videos. Your movements and facial expressions tell the whole story. Check out Michaelsacoma and his version without showing himself. He shows photos to get the words across. He has a nice voice though. How have you been old buddy?

[HandwhistlerBen]

Michael- I came back to your video of this song after hearing Michaelsacoma sing the song without showing himself. He used photos to get the point across. I like yours better. This is one of your best.....your face and movements say it all. How have you been doing?

[JeanaDylan83]

@mettanc  i hear ya hun :)) (wink)

[JeanaDylan83]

Oh One For Your Baby And One For The Road....Im Gonna Start Saying That Line...Awesome Song!!!...Love That Tie.

[mettanc]

[glennmach]

Great Michael,your vocals on this saloon classic song 5 *****..is that Vodak by the way or Scotch Whisky ; ).Regards,Marc Jones.Los Angeles,U.S.A.(Vocalist)

[mettanc]

@glennmach Lemonade!!!! thank you!!

michael

[glennmach]

@mettanc: Great Michael.I thought it might be or Kool aid,you just looked the part of a saloon singer : )..Marc !

[mettanc]

@glennmach i wish all songs were like this....99% of the time i just feel silly looking into a camera singing, but with this, one can actually act-out the story aswell as sing.

[glennmach]

@mettanc:Michael,no I like the way you express yourself, on your videos.Expresssions & vocals are great & B&W format is very cool.Keep it up..Marc !

[1skunkus]

woah, you and i would get along very good. I wear a black fedora hat with my black suit and love the old times and the classic standards. Your voice is as good as I ever heard Sinatra's or any crooner. and this is one of my favorites now. cheers.

[mettanc]

thank you very much for this nice comment.

have a great week.

michael

[onewomanandsomesongs]

Absolutely one of my favorite songs of all time! I have a CD with Frank singing, One For My Baby, and I play it over and over again....great cover by you, Michael! :) You got a velvet voice. Gonna put this one of my favorites list.

[satanicinternational]

I just posted a video response to this video ....you can post under my thumb ....at lest the Bono Sinartra version... Try Again?

[mettanc]

@satanicinternational yeah i can try...just don't want to loose my channel, coz if i do, mostly, not going to return to the tube.

[satanicinternational]

[HandwhistlerBen]

Michael- This is absolutely fantastic! So many pictures come to mind as you bring the words to life. This is an Masterpiece. Your incredible talent comes through. Happy Holidays to you and your family!

[Bflatblues55]

I know I've listened before and commented on this one, but had to come back for more. This is one of my favorites of Sinatras but I also love the Carson's show ended on this note with the Diva Midler crooning to him. Excellent cover, Michael ...

[mettanc]

yeap, that was a great show in 1992.

michael

[Costar75]

I really liked it Michael, very nice vid, you do get into it.. Its almost like, you're not so much as performing in modern-day America, a song at your pc, its like you're "there" in the time & place for which the song(s) were written/performed, very nice ^_^

[mettanc]
