2:08 to 2:17 this is the epitome of smooth, effortless phrasing. the dead-on pitch, the descending half steps at "sleepless"... pure blue, pure jazz, pure soul.
I searched out the song's title in a depression following a marital tiff, and Baker's rendering left me consoled. He sang it very straight, but he got through. Which is why people will be listening to him sing or play long after be-bop is forgotten.
You’re still discussing be-bop 80 years after it’s inception. Clearly, it has and will never be forgotten nor it’s innovators who Chet Baker has borrowed his styling. Learn some history….
if it's of interest to anyone, here are the lyrics as he sings them in this performance -- You don't know what love is Until you've learned the meaning of the blues Until you've loved a love you've had to lose You don't know what love is You don't know how lips hurt Until you've kissed and had to pay the cost Until you've flipped your heart and you have lost How could you know what love is? Do you know how lost hearts fear The thought of reminiscing And how lips that taste of tears Lose their taste for kisses You don't know how hearts burn For love that cannot live yet never dies Until you've faced each dawn with sleepless eyes How could you know what love is, what love is, what love is?
My heart is in this song. The lyrics are true. Baby plays the most beautiful lines, EVER RECORDED IN THIS TRACK AND EVERY OTHER ONE!!!!. He Is Outstanding and always WILL BE.
Chet's voice has got the same phrasing as his horn playing. It's like he's playing the horn except with words
Great observation. He was so smooth

It's beautiful, wonderful, all that stuff. What a dude!
Man this guy can sing
I didn't understand Chet until this video.
What a gem. The lyrics, the music, the singing, that 50's hairdo - just what an adult needs at 3 in the morning, feeling lonely.
Baker was seriously handsome! Hollywood almost came calling but ‘life’ got in the way.
Hollywood did come calling and he refused. He was supposed to be another James Dean
@h...........................Unfortunately. :(

This old footage is just great!
if it's of interest to anyone, here are the lyrics as he sings them in this performance --
You don't know what love is
Until you've learned the meaning of the blues
Until you've loved a love you've had to lose
You don't know what love is
You don't know how lips hurt
Until you've kissed and had to pay the cost
Until you've flipped your heart and you have lost
How could you know what love is?
Do you know how lost hearts fear
The thought of reminiscing
And how lips that taste of tears
Lose their taste for kisses
You don't know how hearts burn
For love that cannot live yet never dies
Until you've faced each dawn with sleepless eyes
How could you know what love is, what love is, what love is?
Not much words for this wonder.

How beautiful.

Beautiful theme of remembrance and romantic 👑🌹🚬🖤☕
why did i only just now see this video
Music for a hurt soul
Thank you so much for this!
i love the androgyny of his voice
Nothing androgynous about it. You must know exactly squat about singing.
wow, just wow. Fucc how to explain
This is very good. To think: Elvis was doing his thing at this time, too. Robert Craft was recording Webern...Stockhausen...
Elvis wasn’t good or unique haha he couldn’t be original!! God I hate his fanbase
Como essa música contrasta perfeitamente com o Cyberpunk 2077, na cena final com a Panam é perfeita...
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Cadaverous
Who had this depth at 27?
Cyberpunk brought me here
anyone know where the beginning clip is from?
That clip is from the Italian film Urlatori Alla Sbarra also know as Howlers In The Dock.

Wow I thought this was a woman’s voice from the recording
Not sure why people are saying that. It's completely male.
