More informations:
"The Nearness of You" is a popular song, written in 1938 by Hoagy Carmichael with lyrics by Ned Washington.

The biggest selling 1938 version was recorded by the Glenn Miller orchestra, with a vocal by Ray Eberle (Bluebird catalog number 10745)[1][2]. This recording first reached the Billboard magazine Best Seller chart on July 20, 1940 (though this is misleading, as this was Billboard's first chart) and lasted 8 weeks on the chart, peaking at #5. [3] Other popular contemporary versions were recorded by Kay Kyser's orchestra (vocal: Harry Babbitt, Columbia catalog number 35488)[1][4], by Dinah Shore with Paul Weston's orchestra (Bluebird catalog number 10793)[2][1], and by Eddy Howard with Lou Adrian's orchestra (Columbia catalog number 35511)[1][5].

The song was performed by Norah Jones on her album Come Away With Me. It was also performed by Diana Krall on a Geoff Keezer album, Turn Up the Quiet. Sheena Easton released her version from her standards album in 1993 "No Strings" and for the soundtrack of "Indecent Proposal"

A well-known bootleg recording exists featuring the Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards performing a solo version, accompanying himself on piano. Richards performed the song live during the Stones' 2002-2003 Licks Tour. A performance was captured and released on the 2004 live album Live Licks.

  • @danielll2 Hi, the yamaha is the model dgx 620 grand piano with graded hammer keyboard, the sound is not standard to the keyboard, the sound is with Tascam Gigastudio, Steinway D from sampletekk, need PC with 3000 Mhz, Soundcard with GSIF, 2 gb ram and of approximately 15 gb space to load this piano.

  • Bravo! Anch'io sto studiando da qualche tempo questo pezzo, però tu lo riesci a rendere in modo molto più intrigante di me, che in questo senso devo fare ancora molta strada.

  • @robertoghedini  grazie, Ciao

  • When I heard this song for first time, I was in a Caff'e Jazz place in Manhattan, I remember clearly that it was snowing and the guy who was playing it, was so fantastic, sentimental and excellent, I felt in love with the song totally and when he finished, I just stand up and started to applause... I requested for another song... MISTY.. one of my favorites. It was an Amazing Evening in Manhattan three years ago. I live in San Francisco.. Those song are so perfect complement for a Dinner Date
