CY COLEMAN "WHY CHANGE ME NOW" 1957

[vladsirin]

cy reportedly was a horrible improvisational performer.

[KingswayMovies]

best version of this song - the way Cy sings it is my favourite - what a feeling!

[5amit1]

great song great piano player ... my ears get horny from listning

[sandaglad]

Sensational piano and the singing just right. Love this! Thanks.

Cy is better than Sinatra. My favorite version of this song is Eydie Gorme's rendition. Great song. Also, Steve Lawrence has a recording of it,

[gabrielwark]

I know he is the author of the song, but in this record he wasn't in one good moment. In my opinion, of course.

[gabrielwark]

Fiona Apple is so much better. He misunderstood completly the sadness in the song and rushed it.

[silrosm]

@gabrielwark You´re very wrong, he was the author, how couldn´t he misunderstand it!!!

chau

Silvia.

[iTzCiRcA]

@gabrielwark Funny, you'd think the man who wrote the song would understand it! Guess not.

[MagentaMoncrieff]

@gabrielwark Cy Coleman was the composer... he couldn't have "misunderstood" it.

[kingusmcgee]

Eydie Gorme also did a great rendition of this song

[kingusmcgee]

Great song and rendition from its composer. Another all-time favorite Cy Coleman wrote and popularized by Nat Cole - I'm Gonna Laugh You Right Outta My Life, both written I think before he was 30. Thankyou for this rare footage.

A most talented man!....and a most talented piano player!... his piano playing was right up there with the very best of his time, but I don't think he was recognized as such. I had the pleasure of seeing him perform just a few years before he passed away at "Feinsteins" in New York City. He will be truly missed!..

[AtomicZombieQueen]

Cy is SOOOO amazing! I am a huge fan! Loved this clip very much!

[JAMESLIKESKNIVES]

It's truly a beautiful song. I have yet to hear a bad version. Although i adore franks version Fiona Apple did this song great justice. Almost moved me to tears.

[00TraCeuR00]

i find sinatra's version better, but this is nice too :]

[neverisap]

Quel document extraordinaire, merci mille fois !

[shinie21]

better than sinatra! Look up the fiona apple cover of this, its one of the nicest songs i've ever heard.

[johnnynoirman]

This is good Ira..You made my night my friend...

[Evangeline30575]

Fiona Apple's version trumps all!

[motorheadtr3]

@Evangeline30575 it's not a competition :) but i absolutely love Fiona Apple and her version as well

[Evangeline30575]

@motorheadtr3 I understand! =D

Classic stuff, good stuff

Mark,

your uncle was one of the greatest, and this has recently become my absolute favourite song. Love the harmony, and the lyrics, with all of my soul.

With much love and respect,

Emily

P.S. I hope you're in the music biz too! ;o)

[JimmieBluffdweller]

One of the all time greats...the best songs, playing and of course personality.

[guitaress1]

[MarkC3206]

Wow! Fantastic. Cy is my uncle. He passed away a few years ago, but this is terrific to see him here! Thank you soooo much.

[shelbylynncoleman]

Dear Mark, I just saw your comment here on u tube. Oh, how Cy loved you. He called you his love nephew! I hope you and yours are good! Lily and I are well. Missing Cy everyday! Love, Shelby

[blackburn55]
