This melody from a jazz tune or standard-anyone know it?
Mystery solved: If I Should Lose You
Also I'm trying to test putting titles on videos, if anyone knows more about that in imovie, feel free to share tips.

  • 'If i should lose you ' da da de da de da lol

  • Yes, that's it! What a pretty melody. (Now how does the bridge go? lol) I haven't really heard any recordings of that song, but it was rattling around in my subconscious. I will look into those recordings. Thanks Phil and everyone!

  • If I should lose you The stars would fall from the sky If I should lose you Leaves would wither and die The birds in May-time-they'd sing a mournful refrain and I would wander around- hating the sound of rain With you beside me The rose would bloom in the snow With you beside me No winds of winter would blow I gave you my love - and I was living a dream But living would seem - in vain If I Hating the rain - If I All is in Vain - if I If I ever lost you
  • It's definitely "If I Should Lose You." Look forward to hearing you play it.

  • Oops, my goofs - of course it is Chris CONNOR, not CONNER, and I have the Bird '10 INCH' LP.

  • 'If I should lose you' Stan Kenton recorded 2/11/53, vocal by Chris Conner, some of the personnel: Lee Konitz, Bill Holman, Richie Kamuca, Maynard Ferguson, Conte Candoli, Frank Rosolino, Stan Levey, Stan Kenton. Whew! What a line-up, and one of my all-time favorite Kenton/Conner pieces - also on 'Charlie Parker with Strings', of which I have the 10 LP (priceless) on Mercury. BIRD LIVES.

  • Oh, okay, I see you've been covered on this question long ago. It is a great tune, one of the all-time deep lyrics, I think.

    Just heard your Born to Be Blue and I loved it. You're singing so beautifully. I totally relate. Thanks so much for getting in touch with me! Andy

  • Binary. No bridge.

  • I screwed this up. I tried to line up chords with words but spaces take up characters in the count...phooey...So I think the next one is better. If not....I give up.

    BTW,..I think Carmen McRae or Sassy Vaughn did a really great version of this where there is just bass and vocals till tenor sax solo comes in. I can post it later.
