Beegie Adair (1937-2021) was an acclaimed jazz pianist and one of the most prolific artists in the genre. Born in Kentucky, Adair's career spanned several decades, during which she recorded over 35 albums. She was celebrated for her lyrical piano style, which combined technical prowess with emotional depth. Adair worked with many legendary musicians, but her partnership with Monica Ramey was particularly special. Together, they released several albums, creating a beautifully synergistic blend of voice and piano that captivated jazz audiences around the world.
Monica Ramey is a jazz vocalist known for her elegant and classic interpretations of the Great American Songbook. With a voice that blends warmth and sophistication, she has become a favorite in the jazz community. Ramey has performed at prestigious venues and collaborated with top jazz musicians. Her style is often described as timeless, drawing inspiration from the jazz greats while bringing her own unique touch to each performance.
"Make Someone Happy" is a classic American song with music by Jule Styne and lyrics by Betty Comden and Adolph Green. The song was originally written for the 1960 Broadway musical Do Re Mi. Over the years, it has become a beloved standard in the jazz and pop repertoire, covered by numerous artists, including Tony Bennett, Jimmy Durante, and Barbra Streisand.
The song's lyrics convey a simple yet profound message about the importance of love and human connection. The central theme revolves around the idea that true happiness comes not from material success or personal achievements but from making others happy, particularly someone special in your life. The melody complements the sentiment with a gentle, uplifting feel, making it a favorite for both performers and listeners alike.
LYRICS:
It's so important to make someone happy
Make just one, someone happy
Make just one heart to heart you, you sing to
One smile that cheers you
One face that lights when it nears you
One girl your, your everything to
Fame, if you win it
Comes and goes in a minutes
Where's the real stuff in life, to cling to?
Love is the answer
Someone to love is the answer
Once you've found her
Build your world around her
Make someone happy
Make just one, someone happy
And you will be happy too

Let's hear it for Beegie Adair and Monica Ramey's incredible performance! We dearly miss Beegie, but we're so glad audiences can still enjoy her amazing music. Let us know in the comments where in the world you're watching from!
How did I not know about these two artists? This popped up on my UA-cam feed yesterday and I was totally mesmerized. I spent most of the afternoon listening to Beegie's piano playing which is superb. The chord progressions are always well thought out and expressive. The Great American Songbook has a wonderful interpreter in Monica Ramey.
There is obviously so much more in music going on in Nashville then the big brested Dolly. Thank you from a jazz lover for 87 years.
michelle courts we love our jazz in Nashville! Thank you so much for watching and listening.

Beegie's touch is incredible. A pulsating jazz performance with velvet gloves. Wonderful chords. Wonderful artist. Our homages from Brazil to this extraordinary pianist.
This song would be a perfect thank you to all the doctors and nurses to say thanks.
Agreed, especially right now.
Having just discovered Beegie in the past few months, it was a pleasure to happen upon Monica Ramey's fine rendition of this difficult ballad. Seems like an endless new world to explore of singers and side musicians who have performed with this exceptional pianist.
I so agree, Bill! Beegie has it all, tone, phrasing, musicianship, sensitivity...She is genius!
The intro is breath taking I don't know many times have I come back to listen...
She sings so beautifully. I really like her and of course Beegie
Monica has her own style. I love her singing. I also love Beegie, she is more my age.
They are just a good combination. They have the soul in the song.
What is it about this chord progression that can bring me to tears? Beegie's bridge was more heart-rending to me than the vocal, as nice as it was.
So very excellent
I totally agree.
Yes, Beegie delivers such beautiful phrases in either hand and in combination. She has a beautiful music soul.
The performance speaks for itself.
This is wonderful.

One face that lights when is nears you

Fame, if you win it
Comes and goes in a minute

Love is the answer
Someone to love is the answer
Once you found him

You Made Me Very Happy By Doing This Beautiful Version Of A Beautiful Song !!!!!!!!!!!!
Love this!
The singer's interpretation grows a lot, and in the end she's stronger than the piano's.
The chances of hearing this genre of music on the radio here in the uk are only a little north of nil. Thanks to our lousy BBC
I totally agree, the music we have forced upon us on TV and radio is garbage
You Tube and thrift store finds make the world go 'round.
rather the cd player and turntable.......
Tudo nesse vídeo é extraordinário, a suprema beleza da canção de Durante (!), a interpretação mágica e envolvente de Monica Ramey, a extrema humildade dessa maravilhosa Beegie, os gestos da cantora , suaves como a música, a platéia embevecida e cativa de tanta beleza junto. Uma raridade, certamente!!!
LOVE this!
Nice voice Monica
Make Lord Jesus Christ happy by doing good, and those around us will be happy too. Then we will have peace of mind and true happiness.
Lord Jesus, redeem us from our selfish ways and have mercy on us. April 2020
Amen! May God grant us sensitivity towards others' feelings. And may He fill us with love for other people. And forgive us for our sins of unloving selfishness.
Superb!
Habiendo descubierto a Beegie en los últimos meses, fue un placer suceder con la excelente interpretación de Monica Ramey de esta difícil balada. Parece un mundo nuevo e infinito para explorar de cantantes y músicos secundarios que han actuado con este pianista excepcional.¿ Que tiene esta progresión de acordes que me puede hacer llorar? El puente de Beegie fue más desgarrador para mí que el vocal, tan agradable como fue. Haga feliz al Señor Jesucristo haciendo el bien, y los que nos rodean también serán felices. Entonces tendremos paz mental y verdadera felicidad.
Señor Jesús, redímenos de nuestros caminos egoístas y ten piedad de nosotros. Abril 2020

To my shame have never heard of Beegie Adair. What a pianist . The singer, nothing great, sorry. I love the Tony Bennett and Bill Evans version f this lovely song, and this pianist reminds me of Bill Evans. I think Monica Ramey should try not shout in the higher range. The definition of a good singer - if they can sing the higher range quiet and the lower range loud. - try it, it’s not easy
She did sing the "higher range" quietly at one point. Listen again. There's also a whole lot more to the definition of a good singer. If she was being accompanied by Beegie in a professional setting (true here), one might say that's another definition of a good singer.
@@fetcher321 Thank you! ❤
Listening to this singer is painful.
go away noob

Sorry about those tin ears of yours. See a good ENT doctor, they can help.
