Corrected version of Sinatra  The Girl From Ipanema

The earlier post has Sinatra singing several other Bossa Nova songs by Irving Berlin and Cole Porter.
This is the version I wanted to provide.

Sinatra sings The Girl from Ipanema. 
For me, a strictly personal view id that it was theintroduction of the Bossa Nova musical style from Brazil that brought a fresh musical style to offset the incessant noise and banging of Rock and Roll ( which was helpful when chasing co eds in college. )
Antonio Carls Jobim was the most prolific composer, pianist and guitarist of the Bossa Nova movement. Here he is with Frank Sinatra singing about The Girl From Ipanema- a sultry vision of loveliness strolling along the beachfront.

Arlen's Goodbye Songs: " What's Good About Goodbye? "& " Don't Like Goodbyes "
" What's good about Goodbye"  is sung by Tony Martin who risks arrest by trying to leave the Casbah to follow Marta Toren. He sings the song knowing he may never see her again.
" Don't Like Goodbyes " is sung by Pearl Bailey in her role as a Madame Fleur in a Haitian bordello who knows some of her ladies will be leaving The House Of Flowers. 
Both songs express the sadness of departure and the unlikelihood of return.

Moanin' In The Mornin'  This is a true "torch song" one of the many Arlen created over the years. Along with lyricist E. Y. Harburg, the song was introduced in the 1937 version of Hooray For What.
Although not a traditional blue number, the loneliness and despair that characterizes the blues tradition is present as sung by songstress Dinah Shore who also had a fine recording of Arlen's Blues In The Night.

More Than You Know  In 1929, Vincent Youmans, Billy Rose and Edward Elescu wrote the song that famed songwriter Johnny Mercer said was his favorite popular song. Here we have two famous singers Barbra Streisand and Tony Bennett each performing with lesser known young singers doing  a song from The Great American Songbook.
Streisand pairs with Michael Buble and Bennett with Carrie Underwood These performances prove once again that standards like More Than You Know continue to attract newer performers. Good singing of good songs will never be out of style.

Two songs by Kurt Weill-My Ship and It Never Was You
Kurt Weill, the German born composer of the Three Penny Opera and other classical works came to America and wrote a number of theatrical works like Lady in the Dark, and Lost in The Stars and Knickerbocker Holiday.
Julie Andrews and Andre Previn perform My Ship from Lady In he Dark 9 Ira Gershwin) and the lesser known It Never Was You from Knickerbocker Holiday ( Maxwell Anderson) . That show also introduced September Song sung by Walter Huston. 
Previn always provides interesting and effective accompaniment for female singers.

A Nightingale Sang in Berkely Square  
American composer Manning Sherman and British Lyricist Eric Maschwitz combined to write a wonderful, emotionally evocative song about a local district in London.

American singer Mel Torme and British pianist George Shearing combine in a stunning live performance with Shearing producing an authentic birdlike trill just like the iconic Nightingale. Torme sings as perfectly as is humanly possible, a tribute to his musicianship
