My Grandfather had this record , and loved to play it on Saturday evening . Sitting in his chair smoking his pipe and sipping whiskey , and I'd be rt at his feet . Laying on my back , hands folded behind my head . Trying to hear what he heard , Grandpa I hear it now !
Bridges of Madison. County sealed Clint as being a great director and actor who selected projects that were age appropriate and stage appropriate for his life
@Sterling Pound Of course he is. He is but one of 6 voices in this piece. Look at the range of playing in sax players! Same with vocalists. From Big Maybelle to Julie London. Hartman had a gift for his timbre and tone and I always thought he phrased elegantly.
This is one of my many favorite songs. Clint Eastwood (a musician in his own right) made a perfect pick in having Johnny sing this in the "Bridges of Madison County" -- what a movie! Superb sound here!
Thanks to Clint he’s remembered in a truly lovely film that people will carry on watching! It’s sad though that so many talented African Americans were obliged to leave the states. Credit to Europe for treating them like normal, talented human beings
This is an old favorite song of mine, and I love Johnny Hartman's low, slow baritone voice singing it, just beautiful! Great instrumental interlude also. "...We come and we go like the ripples on a stream, so love me tonight, for tomorrow may never come, for all we know." How poignant those words are; give love and take it while you can, there may not be a tomorrow!
Supawadee Nemeth I agree. My then wife and we're visiting Iowa and went to see the house used in the film. It had a visitor centre was exactly like in the movie. We also visited all the sites where it was filmed including Winterset the town they used and, of course, all the bridges.
Me too! many people don't really know that besides being an actor, director and movie maker, Clint Eastwood is a talented musician who intended to make music a career and got rather sidetracked, all in our favor! Picking Johnny Hartman to sing the old standard "For All We Know" was so apropos for this movie, the whole thing fell together into perfection! This is a favorite of mine for everything about it, the music, the acting, the emotion, all done so very well, making this a winner! Thank you, Clint, Meryl, et al.!
When my Girl and I first "moved in" together, we lay in the beautiful Sydney starry night and listened to a great radio programme..."This is Johnny Hartman" Together over the past 43 years, the memory of his magnicient voice is so much of our lives together. Billy Eckstien, Billy Daniells are also with us. Just such great voices. Non parielle
Wow!! Sadly this brother was never truly given the recognition he deserved. Have not heard a voice to compare with his for some time now. He was loved in Europe where he sang mostly but not in his own country where he struggled to get make a living. A handsome, dapper Gentleman. Was that not the lot of most African/American men and women of his time? Man's inhumanity to man!!
Hari Madray, you're describing most if not all Jazz musicians both vocalists and instrumentalists. Sadly, most of the Jazz greats have passed and very few are carrying the mantel for this great genre.
This music is magnificent. I love his voice. The trumpet has always been one of my favorite instruments. This song makes me feel like I am in another era.
Every song sung by Johnny was & is heavenly. Our brother in law, Ronnie Zito, the great drummer suggested Clint Eastwood's movie (bridges of Madison County). we were floored !!! Music amazing. Thank you Ronnie💘
In my opinion, artists communicate thoughts and feelings through their work. Sometimes it gets you to think or feel, sometimes you can get kind of lost with where they “take you”, and then there’s Johnny Hartman…who, through his performance brings you so completely into a bygone time, into a beautiful and comfortable jazz-club-evening, complete with small cloth-draped tables, with small dimmed lights, and a beverage of your choosing. His voice makes you feel like you’re right there…dressed-up like folks used to. And with closed eyes you can feel, through Johnnys’ voice, completely immersed in a jazz-happiness. Thank you always Johnny. 🌴Jeff 🌴
WE MUST BRING JOHNNY BACK!!! How on earth can we do it? The World needs Johnny Hartman today more than ever!!! Thank you...thank you very much!!! LOL!!!
Xmas morning 20014 here down under in Oz. I can not think of a better way to start our festive day than to listen to some great jazz and in particular to Mr Lush life Johnny Hartman. 20014 has been a shitty year all over, to my jazz friends who may listen to Mr Hartman today I wish you well, hell I wish you all well even those with cloth ears who may have just stumbled over this site.
Billy Extine, Johnny Hartman, SOME of the greatest talents of MY GENERATION, HAD the privilege of seeing Billy,in Montreal, Quebec WITH Sammy Davis Jr, SAW Johnny Hartman, AT the Apollo theatre, IN HARLEM....both GREAT PERFORMANCES.....5,*****
Johnny Hartman is a hell of a singer who makes your heart to loose a beat.Once you heard his voice you will lay awake all night thinking about the impossible. Together with Earl Coleman, Billy Ekstine and Arthur Pryslock constitute a class is smooth; beautiful and sensitive singers whose contribution in the American artform can't be easily dismissed .
I recently discovered this talented balladeer. I'm surprised I didn't find him among my dad's collection of LP's. His tone, pitch and timing are like sitting in a soft chair, stroking your longtime pet house cat and watching it's long, furry tail lazily undulate with sensuous satisfaction. Prrrfect!
He was truly a class singer that is missed from music world there was only 3 of them but he ranked on top of this list of greatness. It was him and Arthur Prysock as baritone singers that made real music sound outstanding at super high levels. Dunmore Music of Monee IL.
Your ears don't lie,His voice paralleled with the best hands down. Radio stations have done a great disservice by not playing His songs so audiences could hear this Great Voice.
Vc escuta esta voz...fecha os olhos e deixa o corpo balançar ao ritmo da melodia. Ao lado de alguém especial é melhor ainda. Na vdd é um momento mágico 💞💕❤️
One of my favorite movies , it shows how much we lack in love and be in a relationship for years, someone comes along and shows us who we are in Love!!!!! 🌹🌹🌹
Johnny Hartman is one of my favorite singers. Nicely done of course. The lyrics of this song written by Sam Lewis in 1934 (now forgotten) are so very poignant. Particularly for those who lived through those times and considering how much the world and our culture changed after the 2nd world war.
Really, who's responsible for this most amazing...sax?... The rest of the ensemble is tight. All I ever looked for in all those jazz bars was this slow, sexy mood.
This movie open my eyes to see something that will never be. My biggest regret hurting, some I loved with the passion he loved her. Then hurting myself as well. Do what you have to do to, be happy. There is so much beauty in this life.
Album: ONCE IN EVERY LIFE New York, August 11, 1980 Johnny Hartman (vocal); Frank Wess (tenor sax, flute); Joe Wilder (trumpet, flugelhorn); Al Gafa (guitar); Billy Taylor (piano); Victor Gaskin (bass); Keith Copeland (drum).

great comment..........
Such a sweet comment and song
I feel it. Thank you.
Beautiful memory thank you for sharing ❤😊
This is my grandfather. I miss him so much. It means a lot to me when I hear stories like this. I really appreciate you sharing!
A very underrated vocalist who should have been given more recognition in his lifetime.
Thanks to Clint for reminding jazz fans of his subtle talents.
Never considered Johnny Hartman underrated.
Saw him often at The Baby Grand in Harlem .Always a Master performer. Johnny Hartman was never underestimated. RIP JH .
Bridges of Madison. County sealed Clint as being a great director and actor who selected projects that were age appropriate and stage appropriate for his life
Thank you Clint Eastwood,for introducing me to this magnificent singer.
I just Watch the movie and I fall in love
my favorite male jazz singer bar none. and that's a long list. His voice, tone and storytelling are unparalleled
@Sterling Pound Of course he is. He is but one of 6 voices in this piece. Look at the range of playing in sax players! Same with vocalists. From Big Maybelle to Julie London. Hartman had a gift for his timbre and tone and I always thought he phrased elegantly.
@@anotherbahamianguitarplayer Dig into Joe Williams as well! He's on the top of my list ;)
This is one of my many favorite songs. Clint Eastwood (a musician in his own right) made a perfect pick in having Johnny sing this in the "Bridges of Madison County" -- what a movie! Superb sound here!
Fantastic voice. It sounds like a baritone sax.
It sounds like what it is. A tenor sax
A beautiful bass-baritone voice.
Thanks to Clint he’s remembered in a truly lovely film that people will carry on watching! It’s sad though that so many talented African Americans were obliged to leave the states. Credit to Europe for treating them like normal, talented human beings
I am in TOTAL AGREEMENT with your all too TRUE statement my friend!! Thank you 🙏🏽
Gone 37 years but never never forgotten! And you never will be Johnny Hartman! Thank you for all the music you left behind.
And John Coltrane. Genius. I love this song. So very beautiful. They don't make music like this now. You just melt into a lovely place
In this track Frank Wess sax.
The albu Hartan & Cotrane is really one of the very best.
This is an old favorite song of mine, and I love Johnny Hartman's low, slow baritone voice singing it, just beautiful! Great instrumental interlude also. "...We come and we go like the ripples on a stream, so love me tonight, for tomorrow may never come, for all we know." How poignant those words are; give love and take it while you can, there may not be a tomorrow!
Hey, the singer is trying to get him some before he shipped out to fight and possibly die in Europe or the Pacific.
He blows me away with his voice
......and his handsome face.
Every time when i hear this song....with pain in my heart...tears in my eyes... Remember...Bridge of Madison county ,I love this Flim

For sure - great film.
I know right, I thought Billy Eckstine was singing until I viewed the credits. He clearly didn’t get his due!! What a powerful voice💕
me too

Oh my! This for real! This man could sing. Really sing. I've never heard of him before and I'm definitely a fan. Incredible.
Me too. New fan, thanks to Clint.
Make sure you listen to any recordings he’s done with John Coltrane.

Everytime I here that song all I can say is DAMN
One of pop/jazz greatest balladeers, if not the greatest! He knew what to do with a song! He not only sung it, but he brought them to life!
I sure miss REAL music and voices like this!
me to
Never gets dull or boring. ...love him..
Wow!! Sadly this brother was never truly given the recognition he deserved. Have not heard a voice to compare with his for some time now.

So true. He was an absolute vocal master.
Mostly Black male singers have the hardest time. Look at the male jazz vocalist landscape now.
I'm not sure they wern't all famous, most American musicians aren't, but they generally had fine careers,
the talented ones like Johnny Hartman
Hari Madray, you're describing most if not all Jazz musicians both vocalists and instrumentalists. Sadly, most of the Jazz greats have passed and very few are carrying the mantel for this great genre.
I love his music and his voice is so sweet and sexy.
The most beautiful mature male voice in history bar none! Thank you Johnny Hartman for allowing us the privilege to hear you.
for all my fellow lovers of great music. it is so nice to be in your company ❤😄❤.
First note, first word and you're lost in the stars...
All I can say is that it is truly beautiful.
Sophisticated, musical as hell, pretty to look at, flawless artist.
infrantasi Flawless
Flawless.Both Johnnies. True Blue music. Heart and soul breaking. The sweet utter sadness if it all. ..
One of the best romantic songs you will ever hear.
so smoootthhhh
I loved listening to Johnny when I was a teenager back in the 1980s. I still love him now.
soundtrack of "The Bridges of Madison County"
Hermosa reflexión.
My, my, MY!! So BEAUTIFUL!!
There has never been a voice or a stylist like him.
This music is magnificent. I love his voice. The trumpet has always been one of my favorite instruments. This song makes me feel like I am in another era.
That is genuine music
Every song sung by Johnny was & is heavenly. Our brother in law, Ronnie Zito, the great drummer suggested Clint Eastwood's movie (bridges of Madison County). we were floored !!! Music amazing. Thank you Ronnie💘
Johnny Hartman Joe Williams Billy Eckstein. Three great baritones.
I am in love with the man his voice

May God bless you all and keep you safe.
God bless and keep you❤
Thank you Jeffrey,for your kind words.G.
WE MUST BRING JOHNNY BACK!!! How on earth can we do it? The World needs Johnny Hartman today more than ever!!! Thank you...thank you very much!!! LOL!!!

Did you end up doing it? I think it's a great idea. :)
I love his music in every way.

Pre sound, pure notes, so damn vocal articulate - what else is there to say. I only wish that he had received the world's applause as did others...
The sax player for this album, and this track, is Frank Wess. He was my neighbor in Queens, NY. Trumpet: Joe Wilder.
Thank you. Was wondering who the other musicians were on this song.
Great job! At first I thought it was Ben Webster - that wide vibrato - but I know Webster's sound well and was dying to know who it was.
Legendary voice ..
I recently discovered this talented balladeer. I'm surprised I didn't find him among my dad's collection of LP's.
His tone, pitch and timing are like sitting in a soft chair, stroking your longtime pet house cat and watching it's long, furry tail lazily undulate with sensuous satisfaction. Prrrfect!
Es maravilloso su voz su calma su tempo y sobretodo su duende.
I can't listen to this without crying.
Love this song! His voice was incredible and the lyrics are unforgettable!! First class! Jazz at it's best!!
Ashamed to say I've never heard of him until today. Was watching a Tony Bennet interview where Tony mentioned his name and got curious.
FINE singer -- Thank you John Coltrane (and Clint Eastwood) for bringing this man to my attention. 4/2019
This is one of my favorite songs ever and I've. Never heard it done better. Too bad he's gone.

An amazing voice.
Thank you it takes me back as a child when my parents did house parties. in the 50's and 60's what great times
Just listened to Jonathan for four hours and this man deserves more air play. Jv
Johnny and Arthur Prysock were two of my mother's favorite singers; of course Johnny Mathis and Sam Cooke
Johnny Hartman is one of my favorite singers from the golden jazz age. I love the words of this song. Enjoy!❤❤
simply the best crooner
He was truly a class singer that is missed from music world there was only 3 of them but he ranked on top of this list of greatness. It was him and Arthur Prysock as baritone singers that made real music sound outstanding at super high levels. Dunmore Music of Monee IL.
One of the top three greatest versions! Love it!
Such a melodious voice! God bless him wherever he may be.
Simply Marvelous, Daaaling!!!...Thanks...can never get too much of the smooth one.
This is heavenly.
lovely no music like this today
Better than any music today
Your ears don't lie,His voice paralleled with the best hands down. Radio stations have done a great disservice by not playing His songs so audiences could hear this Great Voice.
Could not have said it better. Fantastic. A human sax that is smooth as glass....
Vc escuta esta voz...fecha os olhos e deixa o corpo balançar ao ritmo da melodia. Ao lado de alguém especial é melhor ainda. Na vdd é um momento mágico 💞💕❤️
Que maravilla de música!! Y que gran historia de amor,
One of my favorite movies , it shows how much we lack in love and be in a relationship for years, someone comes along and shows us who we are in Love!!!!! 🌹🌹🌹
CD over and over...never tire of this beautiful music.
His voice makes me breathless.

Johnny Hartman is great. But this song was written by J Fred Coutts. Same cat wrote Santa Claus is Coming to Town and the big one You Go To
My Head.
@@peterwhitford3819You are right. J Fred Coutts wrote the music, but Sam Lewis wrote the lyrics.
Mr. Hartman is an intimate vocalist.
I never heard of him! His voice is beautiful!!! I almost thought he was Billy Exstine!!!
Really, who's responsible for this most amazing...sax?...
The rest of the ensemble is tight.
All I ever looked for in all those jazz bars was this slow, sexy mood.
A wonderful piece of poetry set to music with a some poignancy too. johnny hartman was the best.
Semplicemente una voce romantica, che ti fa INNAMORARE, BRAVISSIMO JOHNNY🎤🎷🎷🎷😅👏💙💙
smooth as silk was Hartman singing one of my favorite songs.....
Dire bravo a johnny e poco, stupenda voce, dolce, calda, che fa sognare. Sei volato in cielo troppo presto. Addio
Yes..........thanks Classy Clint......he’s giving so much “new” music.
He is smooth aged Bourbon & soft lights on a velvet sofa...silk baby silk💋

Dream team. As good, arguably, as the one on the Coltrane-Hartman album.
Thank you so much for the intro of the group. This is the greatest ...as stated very much underrated...rockwthpat23@
Exquisite!.
BEAUTIFUL!!
I loved his voice
Just sooo beautiful. So lovely a voice.
So fine and rich!
His phrasing makes the song live.
Just makes me think about true ❤️ , Unrecognized talent !!!
Que voz maravillosa
Class in a restaurant with candle light with this music will never fade even in 2022.
