Stardust - Hoagy Carmichael

Hoagy himself. [Check out musica54321's video response below.] My playlists include music by Lee Liberace, Jon England, Richard Clayderman, Roger Williams, Hoagy Carmichael, Michel Legrand, Art Tatum, Dino Kartsonakis, Errol Garner, Charlie Schaffer, Russ Conway, Ferrante & Teicher, Carl Doy, Beegie Adair, Caravelli, Floyd Cramer, Geoff Love, Horst Jankowski, Ronnie Aldrich, Stanley Black, David Foster, Claude Bolling, Edison Valencia, Marrina Waks, and one Liberace imitator who tags his stuff [Roger Williams] and [Branson] and has told me not to mention his name. There are also many pieces by little known [nobodies] who are fantastic piano soloists, admired mainly by their YouTube fans. I am looking for videos of Bill Pursell, Felix Slatkin, George Shearing, John Arpin, Norm Geller, Norman Percival, and Gordon Franks. I would be amiss if I didnt have the greats Del Wood and JoAnn Castle on my page, however, they are only favorited, and not in the playlists. As much as I admire their talent, its a far cry from the romantic style Im after.

Hope you enjoy.

According to the Curious Listener's Guide to Popular Standards, Hoagy wrote this as an up-tempo piano piece and copyrighted it that way in 1928. Mitchell Parish wrote the lyrics in '29, Isham Jones's orchestra slowed it down and did it as a ballad in 1930. Satchmo recorded it in '31 but the landmark recording was Artie Shaw in 1940 which sold over 2 million copies.

@movievaudeville Thank you for sharing these facts with us. The history of the American songbook always fascinates me.

Oh my god, I've reached absolute, pure, bliss, in these 3 minutes. Sipping hot tea, curled up in a blanket and listening to this song has been the highlight of my month, thank you very much, PianoPlaylist.

HC was a pretty decent actor as well.

[LeahJane1995]

I'm 17 and think this a lot appropriate to most of today's music really!

[meesbroersen]

is there a recording of him playing "georgia on my mind" too??

[DIEversity203]

I like Bing's version the best

[damfino222]

Guy Lombardo had a 7 of this tune out also. That was the first time I heard it 45 years ago. It was the first song I knew all the words to. It doesn't get any better than thi

[16yearoldwhiteboy]

@movievaudeville Art Tatum also did a version of it I believe i love that one.

[BigIronOnHipMan2]

It's a HOAGY thing!

And this other chap, who had a way with words -- Mitchell Parish.

What about Frankie Carle? I've listened to his 78's since I was 4 years old in 1948, and I am still enthralled today by his recordings, which I feel are very close to Hoagy Carmichael.

I love this song so much

[movievaudeville]

Ain't hardly any jobs for that, trust me! I'm just curious about how things change after someone creates them, and which version gets popular. The other thing that's weird is how many singers would cover the same song at almost the same time. Nobody thought anything of it, but it sure doesn't happen much now.
