Bye Bye Blackbird

Imagen
  Bye Bye Blackbird es una canción de 1926 escrita por el compositor Ray Henderson y el letrista Mort Dixon. Aqui en la versión de Melody Gardot de 2010. Muy versionada, recuerda a la balada de   Peggy Lee , o Miles Davis , frente a la más bailable de Liza Minnelli

The folks who live on the hill

Imagen
  Canción de 1937 compuesta por Jerome Kern, con letra de Oscar Hammerstein II, para la película  High, Wide and Handsome de Rouben Mamoulian . Aquí  en la versión de Peggy Lee. Letra Someday we'll build a home On a hilltop high, you and I, Shiny and new, a cottage that two can fill. And we'll be pleased to be called "The folks who live on the hill." Someday we may be adding A thing or two, a wing or two. We will make changes as any family will. But we will always be called "The folks who live on the hill." Our veranda will command a view of meadows green, The sort of view that seems to want to be seen. And when the kids grow up and leave us, We'll sit and look at the same old view, just we two. Darby and Joan who, used to be Jack and Jill, The folks like to be called What they have always been called, "The folks who live on the hill."

Johnny Guitar

  Mítico tema principal de la película  de 1954 dirigida por Nicholas Ray, compuesta por Victor Young y la propia  Peggy Lee, que la interpreta. Letras Play the guitar, play it again, my Johnny Maybe you're cold but you're so warm inside I was always a fool for my Johnny For the one they call Johnny Guitar Play it again, Johnny Guitar What if you go, what if you stay, I love you But if you're cruel, you can be kind, I know There was never a man like my Johnny Like the one they call Johnny Guitar There was never a man like my Johnny Like the one they call Johnny Guitar Play it again, Johnny Guitar

I've grown accustomed to her face

   Canción del musical My Fair Lady de 1956 , con música de Frederick Loewe y letra de Alan Jay Lerner .  Entre las miles versiones, me gusta esta de Peggy Lee. Merece la pena conocer la versión original interpretada por Rex Harrison como el profesor Henry Higgins, y por supuesto toda la banda sonora, que sin duda es de las mejores de la historia.
