Willie Nelson - On The Sunny Side Of The Street

[wmlfan9]

Very nice. Willie can do "popular" (as opposed to country) as well as anyone.

Diggin' the strings in this interpretation. I was "exposed" to this song watching "Sanford and Son" in the 70s. Funny how you passively learn something from somewhere else. That's the fun in learning when you don't even know you are.

Nice interpretation of the great Jimmy McHugh tune. McHugh, one of the most prolific tunesters also wrote I Can't believe you're in love with me and numerous other jazz standards. Jimmy McHugh had more talent in his little finger than 10 of today's composers.

Best version ever xd

[stephazzful]

Great version of this tune and catch very well the spirit of this song.

Hey Willie,

the host of your annual picnic for years, Aaron Allan, you remember him?

You recorded a song or two of his??

He featured you on his radio shows for years....

He's ill and you bum, The Country Western Hall of Fame told me for sure they'd notify you of his being ill and going into the hospital,

contact him or, your a soul less prick.

He adored you more than a brother, you used him and his talent for years now, you ignore him?????

Del Donahoo and Tom Haley.... any Clevelanders out there?

Proves less is more with a great song. It's what Willie doesn't do that makes it great. All the musicianship on this recording is very subtle and restrained.  Beautiful.

After the first time i listened to this version of this song, i got it stuck in my head all day. What a good day it was, because this is an awsome song and willie is an awsome musician.

[matubadu]

[ddiagm]

Willie is just a magic man. He can handle any type of song..... immaculate phrasing.

[mysterious1961]

music composed by Jimmy McHugh and lyrics by Dorothy Fields.

Gold dust at my feet...

[Cano2319]

Life is oh so sweet

On the stoney side of the street

[jwcasciato]

Many have recorded their own version of this song, but only a very few have captured the spirit of the song. Willie is one of them!

[novagm]

that is the best version of tssots

[pastore0506]

Great stuff! My favourite version of a great song and I didn't even know that Willie had recorded it.

[rodmacg720]

Jimmy Mchugh and Dorothy Fields.
