  • Aquellos que se atreven a subir respuestas en video que pretenden???? Nadie puede imitar como lo hacia el maestro. Cada uno es único. ilusos.

  • Bert and his wife gave the Beatles their start. Amazing!

  • where has berts bye bye blues gone! someone please put it back on you tube please!

  • Thanks to Gremany for two of the biggest musicians ever.

  • Inmortal... un clasico ,nada mas que agregar, la musica habla por si sola.

  • bert und james ein absolutes muss das ist einen wahren ohrenschmaus danke grasias dank u wel

  • KTTR 1490 AM Rolla played all this in the early 60's Hopefully oldies stations will not forget the great contribution Bert made to music. He took the boring out of what we used to call elevator music. He made it so you just could not forget the music.

    I would go for days with one of his great songs in my mind....

  • I really like this song!

    Frank Sinatra is famous for this song and he is also one of my favourite oldies singer. But Connie Francis did a remarkable cover of this song too. Its just bad that she was not recognize with her wonderful version of this song.

  • has a great beat and full sound

  • i can play this on piano

  • does any body know that mr Bert Kaempfert wrote this particularsong for Frank Sinatra (Strangers In The Night) Specially by request when he needed a hit at the turn of his careeer that gos stucked going nowhere and this particular son ironically resucitate his fame and open not juast a new road but a new global market!

  • @Promehteus2020 WRONG! Singer Ivo Robic (Croatia) co-wrote "Strangers In The Night" with Bert Kaempfert. It was NOT written for Sinatra. Bobby Darin and Jack Jones also recorded it at the same time. Sinatra's people got HIS record to radio stations FIRST! Look it up!

  • Bert Kaempfert and his Swing Orchestra was one of the best in the world!

    And Bert wrote so many wonderful melodies! He originally came from Germany! :D

    Bert Kämpfert ist unsterblich !

  • My all time favorite from Bert! Thank you for your music

  • Estou próximo de completar 60 anos. Esta música faz parte de minha vida.

    Vou inclui-la na lista das "Mais lindas cações que já ouvi".

  • Mee to, hebrazil.Esta canção ficou mais bonita com os arranjos de Bert. E viva nossa geração.Abs

  • Wahid ,

    JE T'AIME,

    TU ME MANQUES ENNORMEMENT,

    mes yeux et mon ame pleurent ton absence,

    JE T'AIME et je T'AIMERAIS toujours,

    TON Papillon,,

  • wow this is so beautiful i suare i can see myself dancing next to the beach or like walking down a dark street at night and just wandering around

  • reminds me of dancing in the moonlit night in the 1940s. i can envision it, even though im under 18. =]

  • Good version....jajajajaj reminds me to a drunken night xD.

  • So wonderfulllllllllllllllll.

  • Haunting music that you never forget, love it!

  • yep...sure is a classic. i love it...i listen to it everyday. hehe. XD

  • Gracias Bert

    Una de las mejores orquestas del mundo.

  • Strangers in the night exchanging glances wondering in the night what were the chances we'd be sharing love before the night was through. Something in your eyes was so inviting, something in you smile was so exciting, something in my heart, told me I must have you. Strangers in the night, two lonely people we were strangers in the night up to the moment when we said our first hello...........
  • que arreglo mas preciosista, mejor no creo que halla...

  • This song music was originally written by Ivo Robić a croatian. Bert did sinatras version years later.

  • I just learned that BlueEyes Sinatra is NOT the Original concerning the strangers in the night, because Bert wrote it AND played it.. mind-blowing.. seventeen stars for Bert.

  • Another song that Bert did originally as an instrumental, was Danke Schoen[sp?], in 1961 or '62. A short time later it was given lyrics (either by Bert hinself or someone accociated with him)and covered by Wayne Newton.

  • Bert maaakt van deze melodie van Herb Alpert een ware icoon

  • Bravo Bert,

    you were a true genius and your music is timeless

    you are part of my Western canon of greats, the likes of which appear seldom in one's lifetime

    Thank You for your wonderful music

  • Awesome!!!

  • Anyone know who the bass player was and what album was blue midnight on? thanx,i am basically new to this guy

  • LADI GEISLER...BASS GUITAR

  • Blue Midnight , Decca DL-74569 (1964)

    Blue Midnight/L-O-V-E/Red Roses For A Blue Lady/Java/Almost There/Lonely Nightingale/ Cotton Candy/ Three O'Clock In The Morning/ Free As A Bird/Love Comes But Once/Treat For Trumpet/Goodnight, Sweet Dreams

  • I was so dense, I had to google to learn that the sound WAS from a bass guitar! Then I HAD to know more! Ladi Geisler was so enthused that he built his own amp early on! He and Kaempfert created the plucked bass sound where the strings were immediately muted to eliminate any sostenuto effect. One reviewer said the effect of the beat "created a hook that could catch a 500 pound marlin." These musicians were geniuses!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • i agree! i remember first hearing this in 71 on an 8 track in dads vauxhall ventora, but today sound engineers could never replicate this band sound,despite the new technoligies.

  • What a wonderful recording. Strange that Sinatra hated the song. But Jack Jones' version was incredibly romantic, and as far as I'm concerned, these renditions by Bert and Jack are the only ones I need.

  • cuando escucho esta cancion quisiera suicidarme bailandola

  • No es cancion, pues no es cantada es una melodia.

    Te acompano en tus sentimientos

  • Gracias, en estos días me entere de eso al tiempo que recibí su mensaje.

  • 20.000 plus hits -this music is wonderful. the older i get the more i am so happy that we can still hear this great easy listen music. serge post more of these, i love them. and yes i use to love the -beatles- rollin stones- ac-dc. just to name a few. but this is music to dance or relax to.

  • How refreshing to have access to something this pleasant in 2009. We may never hear live music of this ilk ever again.

    But alas, we do have cRAP and Hip-Hop which aren't even music and which represent one of the biggest scams ever foisted upon the blacks. And most of them don't know or don't care. And look at the millions being made by "people" with zero talent. SICKENING!

  • Bert was truly incredible. I was always a Herb Alpert fan too...Bert and his orchestra were the only ones who could compete with Herb. These songs can bring a tear, so many memories...thank you for posting.

  • I think was Ack van Rooyen (Trumpet and Flugelhorn) but Bert had other musicians too.

  • serge, a classic hit.6000.plus hits on this whats that say for berts music.keep it comming.

  • I`m gonna rate this 100 stars!!I can remember my dad used to play this on his recordmachine..

    Those where thé days!

    Thanks!

  • This was originally written as a music cue for a feature film Bert scored, Universal's "A Man Could Get Killed" (1966) [starring James Garner], which was issued on {U.S.} Decca as a "soundtrack album". Words were eventually added to it, and Frank Sinatra had a monster hit with the song in the spring of '66.
