@tlmcq80 his proclivities are not important. This man had the chops, and the depth of expression in a heartbreaking song.,.with the hope of some sort of relief of getting over it...forgetting and while they are burning inside his brain! Wow.,.I got out of the Lush Life and grateful not to be rotting with the rest!

@CARLDBIRMAN ---His diction and vibrato are impeccable as he tells a story of a broken heart,during a haze of too many through the day...smiling inspite of it. Forgetting the lost love.,.,burning inside his brain., Romance is mush, stifling those who strive...living a lush life in some small dive, I over came this phlight! Thank GOD, Beautiful track, vocals...Coltrane and McCoy Tyner...wow!
-
dem vocals... What a voice
-
@strangestringsnyc thank you....upon reflection, I think you're right....good call, and nicely put.
-
@vaughnhardy666 Actually, you are both right. Gay meant happy then, but it was also an inside code between men who were in the life. You could be on the bus with your friend and talking about going to a "gay" party tonight and no one around you would think anything of it, even though both of you knew what that really meant. I've always felt Strayhorn really was using double entendre here. And listened to in that light the "loneliness" and despair takes on new meaning.

Hartman Coltrane Strayhorn, it doesn't get any better than this. Maybe Ellington and Coltrane in " A Sentimental Mood" and Lester Young and Billy Holiday any time they were on a stage together.
-
exquisite is the word.
-
@tlmcq80 he wrote this when he was a teenager! no wonder he didnt out himself in the lyrics
-
BraVO! A great vocal to tenor combination and classic.

A true Master. Art for the ears.

I don't see any praise here of Johnny Hartman's fantastic vocal artistry. What a silky voice, what easy delivery... such grace and depth to his expression.

Strayhorn was gay... nothing on him... he was amazing... but read some books on him... he clearly states his choice.. but back then... hard as hell to be black... really hard to be black and gay...
