Mondays Music it's cloudy with a chance of....

Well it;s all about weather so let's get started with a song from when I was a young un...


Next up a surprise, because I am not sure which song it will be as yet.  Haaa.  I kill me.  Here is a very different rendition of this song done by the lady of the Blues Billie Holiday.
Next up we finally get out of the stormy weather, with this rendition of Blue Skies.


This last song kind of deals with the weather, it is more an honorable mention.  Version one is the one we all know and love.  Version 2 will be a surprise.


Now the version most people have not heard...



The last version is exactly how Tony Bennett recorded it.  He did not record the whole song, and this is a revamped version of the recording he did on his album, Tony sings the great hits of today.

Hope you enjoyed my weather forecast, and hopefully we all get some sunny skys and warmth,  Til next weel.

  3. Love Stormy Weather! I go with Charles Mingus version; with Dolphy on the Sax and Curson on trumpet.
    Bennet definitely has a different feel on that song.

  10. Marie,

    The reason you do not know this Tony Bennett song, is because it came from an album forced on him by the record company.

    The album Tony sings the great hits of today, forced him to sing this along with Lennon and MacCartney. Bennetts' original recordings were full of bile. He only liked one song and did it well and that was Sunrise Sunset. The rest of the album was a throw away..
