Originally written as a slow waltz titled "In Other Words," in 1960 singer Peggy Lee convinced the composer to change the name. Frank Sinatra recorded the song in 1964, accompanied by Count Basie. By 1995 the song had been recorded more than 300 times! Music & lyrics by Bart Howard. Arranged by Kirby Shaw. Directed by Dennis Loy. Accompanist: Barbara Schmitt
First introduced in the Broadway musical "Lady Be Good," "Fascinating Rhythm" provided the music for a famous dance sequence by Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers. This Gershwin Brothers' version ranges between Jazz, Swing, Latin, Classical, and contemporary rhythms. It was so much fun to sing! Music and Lyrics by George and Ira Gershwin. Arranged by Mark Hayes. Directed by Dennis Loy. Accompanist: Barbara Schmitt
From the 1937 musical "Babes in Arms," it was originally sung by a female character to a male, whose name was Valentine. Spoiler alert - the song has nothing to do with Valentine's Day - but it has become a jazz standard dedicated to love that transcends physical appearance. Lyrics by Lorenzo Hart, Music by Richard Rogers. Arranged by Mac Huff. Directed by Dennis Loy. Accompanist: Barbara Schmitt.
