Bye Bye Blackbird (Henderson-Dixon) sung here by Mel Tormé
Composed in 1926, this is a staple of the great American songbook and so lots of artists have played and sung this tune. Miles Davies does a terrific cover - of course. And Joe Cocker, Ringo Starr and Paul McCartney all recorded this too. But Mel Tormé has this lovely, smooth, and melancholy version and it's my favourite.
🎵Gonna pack up all my care and woe,
Here I go swingin' low,
Bye bye blackbird.Where somebody waits for me,
Sugar's sweet, so is she,
Bye bye blackbird.🎵 -
