hey louis, why have you stopped writing?

i think music speaks by itself, surtout when it's peggy lee, fred astaire, frank sinatra ou les frères everly ....
ou alors ça ....

.........

nazam el ghazali, irakien, la plus grande voix du monde arabe depuis un siècle au moins ...
elle m'a rendu triste, chante el ghazali, mes cheveux sont devenus blancs...
je pleure toute la journée, les étoiles font passer la nuit ... (traduction: chino desforêts)
....
....
....
ou alors ça .....

sarah vaughan/she came from another planet, elle chantait nue, à voix nue, it's naked singing at its best....
...
...
ou alors ça ...

the one and only captain beefheart, sentimental, sucré, aride
...
...
ou alors ça

bob dylan/ballad of a thin man
copenhague, 30 avril 1965, that is BEFORE blonde on blonde, before the motorcycle accident ....
in fact, it's even before he recorded the song for highway 61 revisited ...
...
...
ou cette version de georgia on my mind

billie holiday/georgia on my mind
.....
.....
ou ces deux versions si belles qu'elles s'en confondent de tristesse de tomorrow is a long time

bob dylan/elvis presley/tomorrow is a long time

hey louis, how can you choose between these three?


alan vega/suicide/dream, baby, dream

hey louis, who's the king of zen swing?


fred astaire, 1932

fred astaire, 1952
THE WAY YOU LOOK TONIGHT was written especially for fred astaire in the early thirties
(words: dorothy fields/music: jerome kern)
i have to admit i prefer the jazz version, nearly as good as sinatra's or peggy lee's ....

" invraisemblable ou pas, crois-moi, c'est la vérité -et il n'y en a pas deux ..."
