"Made it with Coltrane, put it on the album...it turned out pretty good" - Slight understatement there, Johnny. It turned out AWESOME!

This song was almost tailor made for Hartman. Nobody sings it like him. He's always been my favourite crooner of all time. This song conjures up images of pure Bohemian melancholy.

I thought I'd add my bit of knowledge to what I learned about this video after speaking with his widow and the pianist. It was taped in April 1983 and he had not yet been diagnosed with cancer but was definitely experiencing some problems. He had to cancel a May gig in England and was diagnosed after that. This is probably his final performance anywhere. It's fitting that it was "Lush Life."

Thanks for the post. I have been looking forever for a live vid. of my favorite all-time crooner. I have been collecting all of his music since I heard him for the first time on the 'Bridges of Madison County' soundtrack. It saddens me that he didn't get the recognition he deserved. Billy Eckstine was my fav. till I heard Johnny! He's timeless.

One word:CLASSIC!

Billy Strayhorn was a genius as far as jazz is concerned and to be able to compose such a beautiful song at an early age makes him best of the best! I love singing this song just to put one over other singers on a piano bar!

Bravo. I feel him so much...Life has such tribulation, we are thankful to have song.

do you know the actual date or least month this was recorded? because 1983 was the year he died, and i was kind of shocked to see that he was still performing.
thanks for posting!!

I recorded it in 1983, sometime after May, because that's when I bought my first, top loading, VCR. Knowing cable TV shows of that time period, it was probably a re-broadcast. I suspect it originally aired sometime in the previous 6 months.
