This is a great duet my Dad sang with Sarah Vaughan many years ago. What a treat it was to sing it with the great Elmer Hopper (Mills Brothers). Love it, Love the song, and I love Elmer! Passing Strangers... Gina Eckstine

  • Well Done....

  • 10/10/11 I JUST DISCOVERED THIS BEAUTIFUL RENDITION OF BILLY'S DAUGHTER SINGING THE VERY SONG I ADORE OF HER FATHER WITH SARA VAUGHN. THANK YOU FOR POSTING. roselli

  • PS. Oh, and I forgot to say ... I saw him live in London at the famous Ronnie Scott's club in about 84/85. I sing myself and can be a terrible parrot, so occasionally I have to shake your pappy out of my feathers. No one needs poor man's Billy Eckstines when they're so much of him still out there!

    Cheers to Mr.B!

  • Lovely to see this ... when I was a kid I picked out a LP from my Dad's record collection and began playing it. It was your marvellous father at Basin Street East with the band arranged and conducted by Quincy Jones. I now have that record on CD and thirty-five years on I still play it regularly. The thing about Billy Eckstine was that he was such an intelligent and intuitive singer of a lyric. As with Sinatra he had a screenplay running in his mind while he sang.

  • Gena, great song. More than twenty years ago, Bill Ekstine came to Japan. I saw him at TV show. Elmer's friend Kuni Wakayama. (April 19, 2011)
