My goodness. i stumbled onto another version of you singing this song, and this one is much more in touch with who you are singing to. I love it. Fantastic Voice. Good luck in all you do. I'll be looking around for an album from you.

@balamoreaux I agree with you. he has an AMAZING voice, just need a bit work on the rhythm and swing.

[balamoreaux]

Not saying your a bad singer. You obviously have a great voice. You just don't swing. Its the current trend. Norah Jones does not sing jazz. I mean Rod Stewart singing jazz? Sounds like a computer. He sucks all the emotion and meaning out of jazz. Swing and improv. That's it.

Do it your own way and swing it. Remember "It don't mean a thing...."

Get your facts straight Written in 1938 it was not originally sung by Frank.

"The biggest selling version was recorded by the Glenn Miller orchestra, with a vocal by Ray Eberle . This recording first reached the Billboard magazine Best Seller chart on July 20, 1940 and lasted 8 weeks on the chart, peaking at #5.] Other popular contemporary versions were recorded by Kay Kyser's orchestra, by Dinah Shore with Paul Weston's orchestra " another pop singer trying jazz ballads. Jazz is not choir!

@jazzman243 I will certainly do that because your talent needs recognision and appreciation. You not only have exceptional voice but also have a very unique style to make the song yours..
