I'm Nobody's Sweetheart Now

Nighthawks Vignette #2. This time it's a small group playing an extemporaneous (or "head") arrangement of this old Traditonal Jazz standard from the 1920s. Some excellent playing!

Shot live at Sophia's in New York.

It's actually "YOU'RE Nobody's Sweetheart."

May I suggest you either list or tag the names of the sidemen (cool you were able to do so on the actual video), so if people do a search on their names, they'll find this great video?

thanks for posting this and other such fun stuff.

Well....

VG has asked me to take this down, along with the other one. Each time I remember to do it I get another comment, so I'll leave it up a while longer.

Can you tag these? Won't it be your Youtube name (which most folks don't realize is you)? I think you can add a text balloon to it if you want.

"Nobody's Sweetheart" seems to be the default title...but the Jazz Archives LP "Collector's Jackpot Vol. 1" has Irving Mills saying it as "I'm..."

I cannot see how I can add to the tags here.

I think only you can do that.

I meant you could add our names to the description.

If the names are in one of those places, people will find this if doing a search for one of the sidemen names.

that's too bad he asked to take it down. I'll give it another listen to see if I can tell why. The accepted lyrics/title seem to be: You're nobody's sweetheart now, they don't baby you somehow. Fancy hose, silken gown, you'd be out of place in your own hometown. When you walk down the avenue, I just can't believe that it's you. Painted li'l lips, painted li'l eyes, wearing a bird of paradise. It all seems wrong somehow that you're nobody's sweetheart now.

It's always great to hear Vince and the band at Sophia's
