What is this song?.mov

[ljliljohn]

Oops, my goofs - of course it is Chris CONNOR, not CONNER, and I have the Bird '10 INCH' LP.

[ljliljohn]

'If I should lose you' Stan Kenton recorded 2/11/53, vocal by Chris Conner, some of the personnel: Lee Konitz, Bill Holman, Richie Kamuca, Maynard Ferguson, Conte Candoli, Frank Rosolino, Stan Levey, Stan Kenton. Whew! What a line-up, and one of my all-time favorite Kenton/Conner pieces - also on 'Charlie Parker with Strings', of which I have the 10 LP (priceless) on Mercury. BIRD LIVES.

Oh, okay, I see you've been covered on this question long ago. It is a great tune, one of the all-time deep lyrics, I think.

Just heard your Born to Be Blue and I loved it. You're singing so beautifully. I totally relate. Thanks so much for getting in touch with me! Andy

[superfluous1too]

It's definitely "If I Should Lose You." Look forward to hearing you play it.

I screwed this up. I tried to line up chords with words but spaces take up characters in the count...phooey...So I think the next one is better. If not....I give up.

BTW,..I think Carmen McRae or Sassy Vaughn did a really great version of this where there is just bass and vocals till tenor sax solo comes in. I can post it later.

If I should lose you The stars would fall from the sky If I should lose you Leaves would wither and die The birds in May-time-they'd sing a mournful refrain and I would wander around- hating the sound of rain With you beside me The rose would bloom in the snow With you beside me No winds of winter would blow I gave you my love - and I was living a dream But living would seem - in vain If I Hating the rain - If I All is in Vain - if I If I ever lost you

[classican]

It's very familiar but I can't put my finger on it.

[cinderellalifestyle]

Did someone nail it?--hope to hear it in full, Guitaress:-) ....

[nickladey]

short but sweet

nick cox hull england ps dont know the song

[swingbossa]

It definitely sounds like "IF I Should Lose You" which has a great version by Wes Montgomery, for one. And Ella definitely did it more than once.

[Tamborr]

Another try:

Interlude

[Tamborr]

Don't Worry 'Bout Me

...or Love For Sale

[campocat]

put it in youtube search

famous song by Keith Jarrett

he kills it

[campocat]

I'll go with- If I should lose you -

[HandwhistlerBen]

I have that same problem. There are between five hundred and a thousand tunes floating around in my head from the 1920's to the present as well as Classical. Many people have to identify the titles for me....Sometimes it just comes out of me on the piano, or bassoon, clarinet, saxophone, or handwhistling.....

[robbourassaguitarist]

That's the name, "If I Should Lose You".

I looked for a link from Billy Holiday, but couldn't find one. I think Ella did it.

[EelectrikPhil]

'If i should lose you ' da da de da de da lol

[guitaress1]

Yes, that's it! What a pretty melody. (Now how does the bridge go? lol) I haven't really heard any recordings of that song, but it was rattling around in my subconscious. I will look into those recordings. Thanks Phil and everyone!

[tomtowle]

Binary. No bridge.

[DrewAnti1960]
