Norah Jones - The Tennessee Waltz

Speaking of Norah Jones, she also made a nice performance of The Tennessee Waltz, which we've seen Patti Page sing earlier in this blog. This is from Norah's live concert in New Orleans in 2002.



Just another detour on our trip..

The World Is Waiting For The Sunrise - Les Paul & Mary Ford

This post constitutes a little detour in our journey through time; this song never actually reached the #1 position on the billboard, and thus, is not one of our destinations on this trip. However, being your guide through this adventure, I feel that it's worth a digression. It was still a major hit, with a #2 peak position.

In the last post, we made acquaintance with Les Paul & Mary Ford and their special sound. Given the context and the novelty of their sound, I find their music both very interesting, inspiring and beautiful. In this clip, you'll recognize the same sound as in the clips in the last post, and Les Paul shows off some of his dazzling guitar skills.



Lyrics:

Dear one, the world is waiting for the sunrise.
Ev'ry rose is covered with dew
And while the world is waiting for the sunrise
And my heart is calling you.

(instrumental break)

Dear one, the world is waiting for the sunrise.
Every little rose bud is covered with dew
And my heart is calling for you
The thrush on high his sleepy mate is calling
And my heart is calling you.
