this video specifically holds a special place in my heart, I came here as a teenager when I got overwhelmed. Something about that Peggy Lee + airplane combo just does it for me lol.
Peggy Lee ...my always favourite singer, Sweet Happy Life my favourite track from the first Peggy album I bought , always my favourite album of hers.... forever! Magnificent music.....love video too!
For those of us who still care to ask, 'Who wrote that song?' -- Norman Gimbel left us on December 19. We didn't know his name but he endeared himself to Canadians with one of his biggest hits of the 50's, Canadian Sunset. But a series of events in the past few minutes made me look him up at Wikipedia. His death didn't make the news. But you know a lot of his song lyrics. Wiki notes in the first paragraph of a good-sized entry for Norm, Norman Gimbel (November 16, 1927 - December 19, 2018) was an American lyricist of popular songs, television and movie themes whose writing career includes such titles as "Sway", "Canadian Sunset", "Summer Samba", "The Girl from Ipanema", "Killing Me Softly with His Song", "Meditation", and "I Will Wait for You", along with an Oscar for "It Goes Like It Goes" - from the film Norma Rae. He was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 1984. The Wiki entry doesn't mention Samba de Orpheu. Which Norm turned into THIS HAPPY LIFE. First Peggy's version which prompted me to look up "who wrote that lyric?" And the first video offered up this day is of guitarist Charlie Byrd and another finger-style giant LUIZ BONFA -- two of my heroes -- playing Bonfa's melody for Happy Life -- Samba de Orpheu. I'd just been thinking of Charlie Byrd how his instrumental version introduced me as a teenager to Kern & Hammerstein's THE FOLKS WHO LIVE ON THE HILL (Peggy did the retire the trophy version of that one)I just have to say . . . What a coincidence! But then speaking of synchronicity . . . I have Siriusly Sinatra playing while I fly in the latest incarnation of Flight Simulator (Steam edition of FSX) and this very day I'm midway between L.A. or Long Beach and Catalina island -- precisely where the opening shot of the red plane is flying! Is someone trying to tell me something? After checking out Peggy's version here, please see Charlie Byrd instrumental: ua-cam.com/video/nxnUZqYGG-8/v-deo.html What a lovely lyric written after-the-fact to this memorable melody by Bonfa My wish for you, sweet happy life May all the days of the year that you live be laughing days With all my heart, sweet happy life And may the night times that follow the day be dancing nights!
I love Peggy Lee, one of my favorite female singers, but as a pilot, I LOVED the video!! Thanks! I only wish the song wasn't so short, I'd have liked to see more video! I wonder what that second pilot dropped -- mail maybe?? Looked like a home-built aircraft! EA, maybe? Pretty neat!
Had to salute you, M.J. Leger -- with a comment of my own this day. I'm not a pilot but I'm an expert at flying about 50 different aircraft and . . . please see my comment about the opening shot of this video. If I didn't know better I'd say What a coincidence!
Oh I wish this song was made into a single. Absolutely this one would have been a #1 charted hit for her just like Fever. She was once referred as the female Frank Sinatra. I have to believe it, for sure! She was great, and so talented not just as a singer but actress and songwriter.
My wish for you, sweet happy life May all the days of the year that you live be laughing days With all my heart, sweet happy life And may the night times that follow the day be dancing nights Stars for your smile, moons for your hair And someones wonderful love for your loving heart to share My wish for you, sweet happy life May all your sorrows be gone and your heart begin to sing And if a wish can make it be I wish you spend everyday of your happy life with me Stars for your smile, moons for you hair And someones wonderful love for your loving heart to share My wish for you, sweet happy life May all your sorrows be gone and your heart begin to sing And if a wish can make it be I wish you spend everyday of your happy life with me
Love watching November niner six five Yankee! And little home-made EA as well! Thanks for the post -- love it! At 1:58 -- watch those poles and lines!!

What a lovely lyric written after-the-fact to this memorable melody by Bonfa

May all the days of the year that you live be laughing days
With all my heart, sweet happy life
And may the night times that follow the day be dancing nights!
Connie Evingson has a great version of this song and Canadian Sunset (live) on UA-cam also.
What a perfect video! Nothing better for that song. Thank you so much!!

love this song...written by Peggy Lee.....hoping to add it to my list...
+Jeanie Carlin Not sure Peggy Lee actually wrote this---music or lyrics.
@@cambridgeratmom Norm Gimbell -- who left us December 19, 2018. Please see my note this day acknowledging his greatness as a lyricist.
This is the English version of the Brazilian song Samba de Orfeu composed by Luiz Bonfa, not Peggy Lee.
Oh I wish this song was made into a single. Absolutely this one would have been a #1 charted hit for her just like Fever. She was once referred as the female Frank Sinatra. I have to believe it, for sure! She was great, and so talented not just as a singer but actress and songwriter.
My wish for you, sweet happy life
May all the days of the year that you live be laughing days
With all my heart, sweet happy life
And may the night times that follow the day be dancing nights
Stars for your smile, moons for your hair
And someones wonderful love for your loving heart to share
My wish for you, sweet happy life
May all your sorrows be gone and your heart begin to sing
And if a wish can make it be
I wish you spend everyday of your happy life with me
Stars for your smile, moons for you hair
And someones wonderful love for your loving heart to share
My wish for you, sweet happy life
May all your sorrows be gone and your heart begin to sing
And if a wish can make it be
I wish you spend everyday of your happy life with me
Just lovely!
like this so much
I94 was not the only good thing coming out of North Dakota
No one, and I mean no one, sings this as well as Peggy Lee.
Love watching November niner six five Yankee! And little home-made EA as well! Thanks for the post -- love it! At 1:58 -- watch those poles and lines!!
Sweet Happy Life! Awesome! My boyfriend sent this to me!
Love this! :D
Nice planes
Great song! Is it just me or does the second plane have bike tires? Talk about carefree!
Pretty sure it does -- it's a home-built -- pretty cool!
cheBella😊
I always love this song since I saw Black Orpheus.
Didn't Astrud Gilberto do this? Or someone else with a comparably non-husky voice?
まさか、大好きなペギー・リーが……
オルフェウスよ!
全ての恋人たちへ恋の詩を、歌っておくれ。
