Krall, Diana - I've Grown Accustomed To Your Face Lyrics

Ms.Krall does this song like it was written just for her! It’s beautiful!

I love it that Siriusly Sinatra satellite radio gives airplay, most every day, to DIANA KRALL. As I like to say, Canada's second greatest gift to jazz. Diana would be the first to say a pianist named Oscar was this country's greatest jazz export.

Earlier this hour Sirius played -- from her Quiet Nights album -- my favorite Cahn & Van Heusen ballad, GUESS I'LL HANG MY TEARS OUT TO DRY. Our favorite singer retired the trophy on that one in 1958. See "Sings For Only The Lonely."

Sirius Radio frequently plays songs from Diana Krall's concert performances, where she really shines -- always with a superb supporting cast of brilliant jazz musicians, plus a good sized orchestra with a string section, arranged -- in this case -- by Claus Ogerman, the Polish born, mostly American, world class arranger who orchestrated Sinatra's first great Antonio Carlos Jobim recordings. (Claus left us three years ago, age 85.)

When Diana performed this song at Winnipeg's largest indoor arena a few years ago another terrific arranger, New Zealand born Alan Broadbent was conducting the orchestra. This recording is from that same time period -- Diana's "Concert in Rio."

Yes, until a better live performance appears at YouTube this is my favorite version -- even with that little flub where she repeats "his highs and his lows" -- forgetting for a moment the correct lyric. (Just re-listened to it a few times -- that segment. Diana just might have said "his eyes, his nose" after highs and lows. But . . . maybe not. You have better ears. You tell me.)


----
For those who care about such things . . .


There are so many anecdotes about MY FAIR LADY, not found in the Wikipedia entry. Such as . . . Mary Martin, once the Queen of Broadway singers didn't like the songs when they were performed for her in a living room sneak preview by the composers, Alan Jay Lerner (singing) & Fritz Lowe (playing piano). Mary thought the music was "not good at all.
"

Unlike the Columbia record company president who was so impressed he put up the 375 thousand dollars (a sizable sum in 1956) to stage the show – in return for recording rights to the original cast album. Boy was he right.
According to Wiki:


The album became a massive seller, topping the charts on the US Billboard 200 for fifteen weeks at different times in 1956 (eight consecutive weeks), 1957, 1958 and 1959.[1] In the UK, upon its release in 1958, the album reached No.1 for 19 consecutive weeks and became the biggest-selling album of the year.

I checked the list of woman singers who've recorded this one – and had to change the words to meet the cadences of the music. Most recently Diana Krall; most famously Peggy Lee. But until a moment ago I'd never heard the earliest recording by a female singer – and isn't this a 'loverly' recording by Lena and a fine orchestra.

If memory serves our favorite singer recorded a couple of the wonderful MY FAIR LADY songs (every single one of them from that show was memorable) but not this one. I think Frank would have loved this take by Lena Horne.
