  • that was sweet. thank you.

  • thanks for sharing, it was very nice and i enjoyed.

  • BEGINNERS!

    

  • Very nice! Thank you!

  • 3:13 video: "Stardust" is an American popular song composed in 1927 by Hoagy Carmichael with lyrics added in 1929 by Mitchell Parish (July 10, 1900 – March 31, 1993)

    Happy Birthday today to Parrish!

  • Beautiful!!!!!

  • Your voice is like honey and silk all wrapped up in one! Thank you so much for the stunning work that you do! 

  • This was my Mother and Father's song. They were married in 1936. Later in years when my Mother heard this she would just stop whatever she was doing and just listen. I knew where she went. Back to her youth and just remebering her times. The song remaines one of my favorites. Nicly done here just like she would have remembered. Thanks for the memories.

  • I recall seeing Hoagy Carmichael play and sing this on TV a long, long time ago. Loved it then and love it now. I thought Hoagy wrote the words. Now I learn he didn't write them. They are masterful. A lot of composers could learn from these lyrics. I think I used to listen to Julie London's version in the wee hours of the morning while driving home, but it could have been someone else.

    Thanks for posting this. It should have ranked higher.

  • Was surfing for Dusty Springfield's songs on youtube and I stumbled upon your channel. Way cool!! I like your cover of Stardust best. Your stripped down version I believe really captures the era in which the song was written. Not so easy to pull off in this age of Autotune LOL!

  • This is by far the greatest and best version of Hoagy Carmichael's classic and unforgettable "Stardust".

  • Piel de gallina!!! Gracias!

  • Beautiful!

  • Lovely.

  • Have you re-recorded this? I really want it, this rendition is beautiful!

  • Ringo did a very nice version indeed. 

  • This is lovely - well done - just shows that talent will always shine through.

  • nicely done. not overly sentimental and a great voice. And one of the best uses of fill text on youtube. 

  • Been looking for a version that was 'true' to the music and yours is just the best. The guitar accompaniment is as beautiful as the voice. Brilliant!

  • George Benson did a wonderful version on his album 'Tenderly'...if you find it, you've got a gem.

  • ...in time immemorial when His ponderance of sub-real particles coalesced into a brand newly created universe of things and moments, where His song vibrations popped into being that urged the the things to form stars which to live and eventually vaporize to a dust that will make its way next to the essence of a soul that will sing the song we call STARDUST...

  • Perry Como, who sang everything so well and for a long time, sang Stardust, but versions are hard to find. I think one was up on Youtube for awhile.

    Andy Williams had a fine version, too.

    So did the Great Dinah Washington.

    NPR did a series on the 100 best songs of the 20th century, and the article on Stardust was really interesting. Such a fine song, conceived by Carmichael as he was walking across his college campus at twilight. Check out The NPR 100.

  • Wonderful performance. My favorite that I've heard so far of this tune.

    Thanks so much!

  • Wow. This is lovely, and I'm sharing it with everybody. Thank you endlessly!

  • What a great rendition. Loved the song and thank you for all the background history.

  • My mother played this on her piano throughout my high school days.

  • Great job! I wish more videos gave information about standards and their history; though next time don't cite Wikipedia! Use Their citations please.

  • Nicely done with careful attention paid by the vocalist to the phasing which demands control or will just spill all over the tune. Thanks for this site as a very entertaining tribute to a musical time and era that lives on through the old and the new, Kudos to you!

  • Oh my God just love this version! That's just the way I use to sing it, and I was really irritated by Natt King Cole's version, wich is very different, much quicker. Congratulate you!

  • read the video screen!!

  • simple and beautiful. 5 stars :)

  • Great perfomance and post!

  • Wow. Beautiful.

  • Wonderful - thank you so much for such a beautiful work of art - a tribute to a wonderful song from a great composer so beautifully sung. Would like to subscribe to your videos!! BB x

  • really, really, nice sweet voice - beautiful guitar - interesting commentary and history of the song

  • What a beautiful rendition of this timeless classic!

    Regarding the guitar part - do you know where I can get a copy (as chords, on the stave or in TAB)? I would like to have a go at this myself. It sounds as though you, Shuie, are playing a nylon-strung acoustic guitar; which is what I play, too.

    Misspopanoche, you have taken this very difficult song and made it sound effortlessly simple. Colour me DEEPLY impressed.

    Thank you for sharing this video on Youtube!

  • Great performance, great song.

  • What a lovely rendering of this beautiful song.

    And thanks for the back-story. (I'm familiar with Hoagy and his many wonderful tunes. He's certainly one of the best things Indiana's ever produced ;-)

  • very nice. i like the history that goes with your lovely interpretation

  • does anyone know who is the singer/artist in this version of stardust?

  • We both thought this was a lovely version, and enjoyed the information you provided. I'm a classical musician, but ashamed to admit I didn't know the song, before my SO got me to search for the Nat King Cole version and Hoagy Carmichael original today. Thanks for your version, I think your smoky timbre is perfect for this and the guitar accompaniment simple and just right. Hoagy's own version almost obscures the beautiful simplicity of the melody!

  • I listen this beautiful interpretation every day... You make me think that the jazz is the most important contribution of the US to humanity...

  • In one of my favorite old movies, "To Have and Have Not" with Humphrey Bogart and a young Lauren Bacall, Hoagie Carmichael has a bit part where he writes songs and plays them on Piano while Bacall sings. Stardust is a song from a far classier time than ours. Thank you for your nice interpretation of it.

  • very beautiful version of a very beautiful song: both the guitar & the vocals, makes me remember my puppy love, my first love, my true love, makes me romantic once again. THANK YOU!

  • excellent.well done

  • Bravo! E bellissima voce!

  • A really nice piece of work with a hauntingly beautiful vocal. Thanks for sharing!

  • really enjoyed your lovely voice

  • Great guitar instrumental, I'd love to hear it without the vocal. Beautiful old song. Thanks

  • NO. Billie Holiday never recorded Stardust; she didn't even got it in her repertoire. But really delicious version of yours!

  • love it, such a beautiful voice!

  • Nicely done...

  • Comment removed

  • Great version. Still tops. Thanks.

  • VERY NICE- beautiful voice- love the guitar work!! One of the great American classics for sure-- Thanks so much for all the great info- My personal fave was the Nat Cole version, then yours of course:)

  • Very nice indeed

  • Nicely done. Just goes to show that you don't need fancy equipment if you have talent! Interesting information as well.

  • Thanks for this! Very enjoyable!

  • You guys made Hoagy Carmichael proud. :)

  • Your version really brings out the simple beauty of the melodic line of this song. Loved it.

  • YOU Have a beautiful voice and know how to get the message across.. great job..nice guitar work too..who are you guys? do you do gigs? The mics dont matter when the music is really there like in your case..

  • Beautifully done. Simple, straightforward and melodic. What more could we ask for. Ed YouTube (Octogenarian81)

  • This was just tight. Sweet. Thx.

  • Beautiful!!! Was looking for Hoagy Carmichael singing, but, this is fantastic. Great interpretation!! You know, guys sing some great songs for us gals/ladies ;0) - often we would love to have a beautiful song sung by a lady for our fellow of our dreams!! Yep, Girl of my Dreams was another beautiful song sung by a fella - please will you give it a whirl ? Thank you for the great rendition!!

  • Thank you for this most beautiful rendition of Stardust. My favorite song since since i was a very small child. Your version is what I call youtube serendipity, (a happy accident )while looking for another song.

  • otimo trabalho,exelente resultado. valeu!

  • Beautifull! Congratulations for an impresive version of one of jazz´s more popular songs.

  • I've never heard a more beautiful version. I'd never do it again on better equipment, I don't believe you can top this.

  • i play this at northern soul nights by shirley ellis, didnt know it was so old

  • This is very nice...........!!

  • Beautiful song. Beautiful rendition.  Thank You.

  • This is a perfect arrangement of this wonderful song sung perfectly, the accompanyment is sublime with just a guitar played with aplomb.. Can I get a better quality copy of it from ur website or anywhere?

  • Hi eaglesonofwill, I'm thrilled to hear you enjoyed our cover. It is a wonderful song. We only have this recording, It was recorded with an old gig mic so it's great quality. I'm hoping to get a few recorded with our upgraded equipment soon.

  • Thank u for ur response. I remember hearing an old version of this song and thinking how wonderful it would sound with just a solo jazz guitar and a great singer.. and I listened to ur version and was amazed to have found it. I have this listed as a favorite: I would love to have it as an mp3 to add to my listening collection. Many thanks again.

  • Great song, beautifully rendered.

  • Fabulous!

  • Will someone please tell me who is singing this song. What a beautiful voice. Some one PLEASE let me know.

  • superb version.....what about Art Tatum's brilliant interpretation recorded by Norman Granz.

  • Thanks for this song, I like your voice and the guitar sound is very nice.

  • Very nice version--just before I found yours, I was listening to 8 others, posting 4 them on Facebook as a challenge to friends to "choose the 'best' STARDUST." THANK YOU FOR THIS ONE! (I'm going to post it on Facebook now, too.)

  • Hi analogyman.. Thanks for a lovely comment. There are sooo many version of this song I'm sure you'll all have fun listening to them all... It was 'the' most covered song in history until Paul McCartney wrote 'Yesterday'.

    Thanks again.

    ~Sonya

  • excelent version... i really enjoyed the voice of the singer and the guitar

    unclekevy

  • Hi Unclekevy... heres hoping you enjoyed your toddie and listen after work!

    Thanks for a wonderful comment

    ~Sonya

  • thanks Sonya, a tink and a wink from your favorite unclekevy!!!

  • Nicely done on many levels

  • This was awesome. I've been looking for something like this for a solo for my choir next year and I definitely thinks this sounds like a challenge. You make it sound easy, but I bet it isn't

  • Hoagy and Nat King Cole make it sound easy - Until Paul McCartney wrote 'Yesterday' this was the most covered song ever so it is a challenge a lot seem to take. Good luck, I'm sure you'll do it beautifully.

    ~Sonya

  • amazing song :P

  • Thanks!

  • That was brilliant.  Thank you.

  • oh well thankyou- you two sound great together too. I am going through your other videos and seeing which songs I can learn for our band! haha- thanks- gotta love youtube huh?

  • IT WAS GREAT!

  • Stop apologizing musicians! The vocals and accompaniment are beautiful. Great sentiment and information. Peace, J.

  • You did a wonderful job! Thought I was going to hear Hoagy, but truly enjoyed what you have done.

  • Excellent.

  • made me cry... beautiful... thank-you so much

  • I love to hear the history of songs and how they were written both with songs of today and old standards like this. It is surely one of the all time greats. I love this version and appreciate the history of it.

  • Awesome!

  • Wow, great!

    Roeleke

  • So simple and serene. A very nice way to break the song down. Wonderful job.

  • I had to do a report on Carmichael. so this is how i stumbled into this video but i ended up liking the song. LOL

    What a voice you have!!!

    Beautiful

    ~Sonya

    This is really wonderful!!

    Thanks again for sharing your music with all of us:))

  • We thanj you for the very interesting video and history and also we congratulate you on a most accomplished interpretation; both voice and guitar show how apparently simple and beautiful this song is.

  • Thanks poliador.  It's a beautiful song and we're pleased to hear people are enjoying it.

  • This song is my fave song ever and, I was ready to hate your version as one is prone to do, but it's gorgeous, your backing is wonderful, your vocals are just so simple and pure........ lovely, you should all be proud of yourselves.

    catou

  • Thank you, catou,

    ~Sonya

  • Beautiful! Perfect, in fact. YES! The most recorded tune in the history of music up until the 1980s when something or other beat it out and right now, whilst listening to you beautiful voice sing this ... I'd rather not trouble to think which it was. No matter... the song is its own legacy!

    Thank you so very much for sending it!!

    Just lovely!

  • Hey.. so sorry for late reply. Thanks for such a wonderful comment. The song you're thinking about is Yesterday by Paul McCartney.. god awful song if you ask me LOL but what do I know?

    This song is just a beautiful classic that will always stand the test of time.

    ~Sonya

    ~Sonya

    Ana.

  • Gracias Ana.

  • nice, very feminine version. Well done

  • Thanks!!

  • Absolutely stunning, MissPopanoche

    You certainly have done justice, no you made it come alive again...sultry, silky, sad, sentimental, soft....

  • Thank you Ernie! It is such a beautiful song done by so many fine artsts - so I am very pleased at the good response we are getting.

  • very nice! good job. i didn't know so many had covered it. 5 stars

  • Thanks cioabebbo

  • I am a huge fan of Hoagy's.Like Hoagy I was born in Bloomington,Indiana and moved away.Like Hoagy,I am an IU grad.While I was a student my favorite bar in Bloomingbton(along with Nick's)was the Stardust,which is no longer there.Hoagy was a brilliant composer,pianist and personality-which you can see by his brief movie appearances.He wrote many good songs,but Stardust,Georgia on My Mind,Skylark are exceptional.Missp.&Shuie, you did Hoagy proud.Great job&thanks for all the information on Hoagy.

  • I can't tell you how thrilled I am when we get comments like this.. I'm sure Hoagy would be amazed at how long lasting his music has become. Very, very few songs of today will stand the test of time..Hoagy will live on for decades to come.

    Thanks again, you've really made my day.

    ~Sonya

  • Well done!! It's hard to beat the voices of Nat King Cole, Ella's, etc., but the whole project, with the little bits of info from wiki, is pretty neat. And by the way, that guitar player is awesome!

  • Thankyou Tomate. The guitarist is awesome - I said I would like to have a go singing this and he(having hardly heard it) just picked up his guitar and played it start to finish.

    This whole project took us less than 30 minutes to complete. Glad you enjoyed the info, I found it all pretty neat too.

  • This a beautiful rendition of a beautiful song.

    5 stars.

  • Hello missp. what a wonderful rendition of, to me,the best song "ever" written,played,sung.And you do it justice. You have a lovely voice dear.The guitar sounded great,and the fact that you had a "not so expensive" mike,didn't make any difference at all. Thank you for it. Lovely!!

  • Thank you for a such a lovely comment sleepytimegalz..

    ~Sonya

  • Lovely. Voice and guitar. Voice and orchestra, voice and piano. It seems there's no limit to this song and I haven't heard a bad version yet.

  • Songs like this prove they can stand the test of time & arrangement. You don't see ANY songs written in this day n' age that we can say that about. Frankly.. who needs them when we have material like this to work with.

    Glad you approve of our version tho.

    Thanks for commenting.

  • Its an extremely gentle, understated version, lovely voice and most pleasurable listening.

    Thank you, and keep at it!

  • Hi Burybobz, Thanks for listening and commenting.

  • Nice Composition. I enjoyed it thoroughly. I hope you create some more videos like this. Thank You.

  • Hi Elaine, Thanks for a lovely comment. Really pleased you enjoyed

    ~Sonya

  • Sweet! One of my favorite songs.

  • Thanks, glad you enjoyed.

  • This is too wonderful for words, but I'll add a few.

    I absolutely love your voice, so full of feeling for the music, and your guitar playing is exquisite!!

  • you have a lovely voice sonya.pete x

  • Thanks Pete.

  • Wow. Add your version to the top of the list.
