Σ’ αυτό το blog δεν έχουμε πρόβλημα με τα “κοινότοπα” τραγούδια. Αυτό είναι απ’ τα αγαπημένα μου όλων των εποχών – και δεν εννοώ μόνο του Sinatra. Η εκτέλεση είναι από το ιστορικό live Sinatra At The Sands.
Το άλμπουμ ηχογραφήθηκε στο Sands Hotel / Casino του Las Vegas το 1966, με τον Count Basie στο πιάνο και τον Quincy Jones σε ρόλο ενορχηστρωτή και διευθυντή της Count Basie Orchestra…
In this blog we don’t have a problem with “commonplace” songs. This one is one of my favorite of all times, and I don’t mean Sinatra’s songs only. The performance is from the historic live album Sinatra At The Sands.
The album was recorded at the Las Vegas Sands Hotel / Casino in 1966, with Count Basie on the piano and Quincy Jones arranging and conducting the Count Basie Orchestra…
When I was seventeen
It was a very good year
It was a very good year for small
Town girls and soft summer nights
We’d hide from the lights
On the village green
When I was seventeen
When I was twenty-one
It was a very good year
It was a very good year for city girls
Who lived up the stair
With all that perfumed hair
And it came undone
When I was twenty-one
When I was thirty-five
It was a very good year
It was a very good year for blue
Blooded girls of independent means
We’d ride in limousines
Their chauffeurs would drive
When I was thirty-five
But now the days are short
I’m in the autumn of the year
And now I think of my life as vintage
Wine from fine old kegs
From the brim to the dregs
It poured sweet and clear
It was a very good year
