    When Rod Steward sings a standard, he does it right. Perfect tempo and a rendition that calls to mind all the great times you have heard it before. He doesn't try to add annoying new wrinkles. It's a standard because we like it the way we remember it.

    • @boris1496
      @boris1496 Рік тому

      Actually Not. He is going through it too fast, he is not laid back, he lacks Swing, He does not master the piece. Jazz ballads are Not that easy to master, He should have practised more. I still Love him and his Joke and Performance are still great.

    I love Rod all day every day and I know more about him than anyone else who has done this song. I also don't know who the song was written for and or who did it originally. All that to say I think rod does it best. This performance is so good and the studio version is even better. He puts exactly the right touch on it. Perfect instrumentation. Perfect tempo. Perfect whisper. He didn't prettify it, or touch it up. He sang it with raw emotion and perfect timing. He sounds like he's about to burst into tears and that makes it so lovely.

      There have also been numerous recordings of the song by jazz and pop standards artists, including Nancy Wilson, Ella Fitzgerald, Frank Sinatra, Nat "King" Cole, Carmen McRae, Billie Holiday, The Hi-Lo's and Elvis Costello to name a few. They all have had their own styles. I'm just happy to see singers like Rod not only cover the song, but to record 4 CDs of jazz standards.

    The very thought of you
    And I forget to do
    The little ordinary things
    That everyone ought to do
    I'm living in a kind of daydream
    I'm happy as a king and foolish
    Though it may seem to me
    That's everything
    The mere idea of you
    The longing here for you
    You'll never know
    How slow the moments go
    Till I'm near to you
    I see your face in every flower
    You eyes in stars above
    It's just the thought of you
    The very thought of you my love
    The mere idea of you
    The longing here for you
