Connick, Jr., Harry - Some Enchanted Evening Lyrics

Connick's SOME ENCHANTED EVENING – still 'enchanting' ten years on:
As I type this Siriusly Sinatra satellite radio is playing Harry Connick Jr's SOME ENCHANTED EVENING – a mid-tempo swing masterpiece -- a gorgeous orchestration reminiscent of Nelson Riddle's 'heartbeat' arrangements for our favorite singer. But no: this one enchantingly arranged by Harry himself, for an album so great it has its own Wikipedia entry chock full of fascinating facts (below). While we count the days till Harry's next long-anticipated album, while hoping it measures up to THIS. To coin a phrase: My favorite version -- yours too?

'Your Songs' is a studio album by American jazz singer Harry Connick Jr. that was released by Columbia. It was released first in the United States on a limited edition double vinyl LP on August 25, 2009,[5] then on CD on September 22.

Most of the songs were chosen by record producer Clive Davis, who aimed towards classic, familiar songs, as contemporary as possible. Davis had expressed an interest in working with Connick. Connick had an idea of bringing in a famous arranger for the album, but Davis suggested Connick do the arrangements himself.

The song "Bésame Mucho" was suggested by Connick's father, Harry Connick Sr., a former district attorney for the Parish of Orleans. They sang a duet on the album New Orleans...My Home Town (1998). Branford and Wynton Marsalis contribute to the album. Both are multiple Grammy winners. Both are childhood friends of Connick. Trumpeter Wayne Bergeron and guitarist Bryan Sutton also play on the album.

Connick said in a radio interview that "Smile" was dedicated to a girl named Nicola. She and her mother attended one of Connick's shows in Paris, France, several years before. Nicola was seven at the time, and Connick took her on a tour of Paris. They stood under the Eiffel Tower. Although she was blind, she knew where she was and had a smile on her face.[7]

Smoothing voice of Harry

No Feeling

I love this version of Rodgers and Hammerstein's "Some Enchanted Evening" and I love the Harry Connick style. This arrangement is one helluva an arrangement!

@Biel2619 lol you are a true idiot you took the time to post on all his tracks... get a life hater

This happened to me last night. With a man I've tried to get rid of dozens of times over the years-but its impossible as he's part of my soul.

limerence ?

in my humble opinion every bit of enchantment and magic is ripped out of this piece of music if performed in this swingy "elevator music" style...

This isn't elevator music.  Slower tempo and less volume doesn't necessarily constitute elevator music.  This is an excellent jazz rendition.

And yes, I love Jay Black's version too.

I first heard his music in early 91. And I fell in love, yes with him, but more so his music, personality, sense of humor, his loving and caring nature. His wife and family are very lucky people. Harry makes the world happy with his music.
