Satin Doll

This is for Nestor & Thelma Basco, the Basco Family & friends.

This Jazz Standard, "Satin Doll" was written by Duke Ellington and Billy Strayhorn with lyrics by Johnny Mercer. Written in 1953, the song has been recorded countless times, by such artists as Ella Fitzgerald, Frank Sinatra, and Nancy Wilson and presented to you now by dizzysfingers..
Lyrics:
Cigarette holder which wigs me
Over her shoulder, she digs me.
Out cattin' that satin doll.

Baby, shall we go out skippin?
Careful, amigo, you're flippin',
Speaks Latin that satin doll.

She's nobody's fool so I'm playing it cool as can be.
I'll give it a whirl but I ain't for no girl catching me,
Switch-a-rooney!

Telephone numbers well you know,
Doin' my rhumbas with uno
And that 'in my Satin Doll.



Johnny Mercer, regarded as one of America's great songwriters (in the early 1940s, he was one of the co-founders of Capitol Records), was often asked to write lyrics to already popular songs; the lyrics to "Satin Doll" were written after the song was already a hit in its instrumental version.

A most refined and enjoyable jazzy performance. An adequate technique for this kind of composition, with dexterity and good use of the instrument's rythm pads. Congrats.
