Mel Torme with pianist John Colianni - "Pick Yourself Up", 1994

I listen to this rendition with Mel & John at least 2ce a week. It's on my desktop. I'm always amazed and delighted by the wizardry, tempo, inventiveness and speed. Will talent like this ever come back? Thanks for this post and the memories it provides.

Listening to Mel's version of this song blows me away every time. What a talent.

I was told that Mel Torme was under-rated and was so much better than Sinatra. I can see and hear why!!

Amazing guy. I hope I have half that energy and enthusiasm when I'm 70.

I wish I could have met him... or at least hear him perform! What a sweet guy he seemed to be.
