Sammy Chan : I Should Care - John Wilson Orchestra.

Описание: Sammy Cahn 1913 – 1993 was an American lyricist, songwriter and musician. He is best known for his romantic lyrics to films and Broadway songs, as well as stand-alone songs premiered by recording companies in the Greater Los Angeles Area. He and his collaborators had a series of hit recordings with Frank Sinatra during the singer's tenure at Capitol Records, but also enjoyed hits with Dean Martin, Doris Day and many others. He played the piano and violin. He won the Academy Award four times for his songs, including the popular song "Three Coins in the Fountain".
Among his most enduring songs is "Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!", cowritten with Jule Styne in 1945.
"I Should Care" is a popular song with music and words by Axel Stordahl, Paul Weston and Sammy Cahn, published in 1944. It first appeared in the MGM film Thrill of a Romance. The original recording by Ralph Flanagan and His Orchestra, with vocalists: Harry Prime and The Singing Winds was made at Manhattan Center, New York City, on July 18, 1952. It was released by RCA Victor Records as catalog number 20-4885 (in USA) and by EMI on the His Master's Voice labels as catalog number B 10389.
The song has become a popular standard, and a jazz standard, with recordings by many artists.

On this video various pictorial studies of the ironic phrase 'I Should Care'. The music suggests a reflective mood with a inclination for melancholy thought about what might have been. Who knows if the other path was taken where one would be now. Perhaps in a parallel universe all will be revealed!
Love the George Shearing Sound on this lovely arrangement!
Thanks to John Wilson and to Richard Rodney Bennett for this musical gem...



A fantastic album with a classically smooth orchestral approach to popular standards all beautifully arranged by Richard Rodney Bennett with John Wilson.
