Um, Jon Hendricks didn't write these lyrics. In 1958 Sarah Vaughan and the Count Basie Orchestra recorded a version of this song, with these lyrics, and the group has pretty much lifted her interpretation, even down to Cheryl's solo.
Hi Incrediblemelk, you're right! Sarah recorded this one w/ the Basie Orchestra in the 'No Count Sarah' LP but it was dated december 1958. Early in that year (exactly on August 1) Jon Hendricks recorded it with his trio (Lambert, Hendricks & Ross) and it was released as a single with 'The Spirit-Feel' vocal cover of the Milt Jackson original.
They were singing these song with Nat Pierce (piano), Kenny Burrell (guitar), Addison Farmer (bass) and Osie Johnson (drums). Vocal arrangement by Lambert
Having cut my teeth on Lambert, Hendricks & Ross- one can't help but compare- which is unfair- but there it is ( L H and R are uncomparable ) But this was enjoyable
PLEASE DONT READ THIS. YOU WILL GET KISSED ON THE NEAREST POSSIBLE FRIDAY BY THE LOVE OF YOUR LIFE. TOMORROW WILL BE THE BEST DAY OF YOUR LIFE. HOWEVER IF YOU DONT POST THIS COMMENT something bad will happen. NOW UV STARTED READIN DIS DUNT STOP THIS IS SO SCARY. SEND THIS TO 5 VIDEOS IN 143 MINUTES WHEN UR DONE PRESS F6 AND UR CRUSHES NAME WILL APPEAR ON THE SCREEN IN BIG LETTERS. THIS IS SO SCARY CAUSE IT ACTUALLY WORKS THIS ACTUALLY WORKS!"
This is another version of vocalese that I found that sounds a little more true to what was invented. The group actually does the vocalese technique together vesus one person or soloist which I thought was cool.

Actually, this was written by Horace Silver. Not the lyrics, but the song (1955 Horace Silver and the Jazz Messengers).

I think the same, LH&R were the one and only one. But really love the Transfers and their love on vocalese.

Great craftsmanship. Didn't like the sound of the piano, though (the instrument, I mean).
