The Song Is You

[Hammerstein Jerome Kern Kern Oscar Hammerstein II]

Originally from the show Music in the Air, “*The Song is You*” was popularized by Frank Sinatra who captures the catchy melody as only he can. The tune is usually played up-tempo and is versatile enough to be played in other styles – like the Bossa Nova version here. Check out Maynard Ferguson’s burning version.
