Heres the oh so cool Mike Wildes a "Geordie" that means he originates from the Newcastle north east England area of the UK. Mike has a penchant for playing ballads not usualy performed to a solo guitar backing.He is a sort of virtuosic guitar playing Geordie Sinatra/Robbie Williams with his smooth vocals tinged with the rich tones of Tyneside. Here Mike performs one of the most popular of all middle of the road evergreen romantic ballads "My Funny Valentine" like your never likely to hear it sung again in his unique inimitable Geordie jazz style. Heres what the excellent Wikipedia says about this great song... "My Funny Valentine" is a jazz standard, appearing on over 1300 albums performed by over 600 artists. Origin The song was composed by Richard Rodgers to lyrics by Lorenz Hart and first appeared in the musical comedy Babes in Arms which opened at the Shubert Theatre, New York, on April 14, 1937 and ran for 289 performances, transferring to the Majestic Theatre on October 25, 1937. "My Funny Valentine" was first sung by Mitzi Green in the role of Susie Ward, the talented young sweetheart of Valentine White (played by Ray Heatherton). In 1939, a film of Babes in Arms, starring Mickey Rooney and Judy Garland, was released. In it, Garland's character, Patsy, sings the song to Rooney's character, Mickey. Funny Again The song reemerged in the 1950s and was performed by most of the great jazz musicians and popular vocalists of the time including: Gerry Mulligan, Frank Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald, Bing Crosby, Linda Ronstadt, Miles Davis, Sarah Vaughan, Stan Getz, Paul Desmond, Tony Bennett, Ben Webster, Buddy Rich, Anita O'Day, Mel Tormé, Rickie Lee Jones and many, many others. The song made it to the top of the charts when Chet Baker released a very popular and influential version (released on the album "My Funny Valentine" / Blue Note Records). His soft, delicate and serene delivery introduced the world to Chet Baker's singing skills (he was previously known only for his trumpeting skills, also displayed on this recording). Baker is still associated more with "My Funny Valentine" than with any other of the long list of songs he recorded. Chet's version of the song leaves out the first stanza, instead beginning with the second stanza that starts with, "My funny Valentine, sweet comic valentine". As a result of this, nearly every subsequent version of this song begins the same way. The most notable exception to this rule are songs recorded from the many performances of the musicals Babes in Arms and Pal Joey. (The first stanza is clearly a female voice speaking about her man, giving male singers an additional reason to omit it.) The third stanza seems quite odd at first. It begins with a series of accusatory and rude questions that one wouldn't necessarily expect in a romantic tune. It quickly apologizes for the odd questions with assurances and then ends with the romantic sentiments of the last two verses. Regards.

Heres the oh so cool Mike Wildes a "Geordie" that means he originates from the Newcastle north east England area of the UK. Mike has a penchant for playing ballads not usualy performed to a solo guitar backing.He is a sort of virtuosic guitar playing Geordie Sinatra/Robbie Williams with his smooth vocals tinged with the rich tones of Tyneside. Here Mike performs surely one of the most famous songs of alltime "Singing in the Rain"made famous in the 1952 movie of the same name by Gene Kelly like your never likely to hear them sung again in his unique inimitable Geordie jazz style. Heres what the excellent Wikipedia says about this great song... Singin' in the Rain (song) From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Gene Kelly performing in Singin' in the RainFor other meanings, see Singin' in the Rain. "Singin' in the Rain" is a song with lyrics by Arthur Freed and music by Nacio Herb Brown, published in 1929. However, it is unclear exactly when the song was written with some claiming that the song was performed as early as 1927. The song became a hit and was recorded by a number of artists, notably Cliff Edwards, who also performed the number in the early musical sound film The Hollywood Revue of 1929. It was also performed on film by Jimmy Durante and Judy Garland. The song is probably best known today as the centerpiece of the 1952 musical film Singin' in the Rain, in which Gene Kelly memorably danced to the song while splashing through puddles during a rainstorm. In the 80's, German Pop singer Taco scored a hit with it. Though it failed to crack the US Top 100 or the UK Top 40, it reached #46 in the Canadian Charts on August 27, 1983 The song was also remixed by Mint Royale, released on 22nd August 2005 after a smaller version featured in the new Volkswagen Golf GTI advert. In the movie Robots, Fender (the voice of Robin Williams) sang a parody called "Singin' in the Oil". The song was listed as Number 3 on AFI's 100 Years... 100 Songs. Regards.
