Chet Baker - I Remember You download song

Correct. Chet was an excellent singer and trumpet player.

my all-time favorite of the american jazz standards. an unbreakable song, never heard a bad version.

{Lyrical intro] Was it in Tahiti? Were we on the nile? Long, long ago, say an hour or so I recall that I saw your smile [Song] I Remember You You're the one Who made my dreams Come true A few kisses ago I remember you You're the one Who said I love you too Didn't you know? I remember too A distant bell And stars that fell Like rain Out of the blue When my life is through And the angels ask me To recall The thrill of them all

Was is in tahiti? Were we on the Nile? Long, long ago Singing our, our song I recall that I saw you smile I remember you You're the one who made my dreams come true A few kisses ago I remember you You're the one who said I love you too Didn't you know I remember too a distant bell And stars that fell Like rain out of the blue When my life is through And the angels ask me To recall The thrill of them all Then I shall tell them I remember You I remember too a distant bell And stars that fell Like rain out of the blue When my life is through And the angels ask me To recall The thrill of them all Then I shall tell them I remember you If they should ask I'll gladly tell them I remember you

A cracking version of a great neglected song. Anyone who thinks Slim Whitman has it down needs trepanning.

This song is the must!!! Love it...great sound!!!! Great Chat...miss him so much...

His own voice, quite young, right? lol

As a saxophonist/pianist, and out of all the other jazz greats, only Chet makes me want to play trumpet myself.

i love this song, chet version. so nice!

If you research Chet's history, you'll find he WAS instructed in music theory in schooling. As a jazz musician myself, I find that looking at chord changes on a page measure by measure can seriously inhibit your improvisation. Chet (as well as myself) played from the heart with the scales and music theory learned by muscle memory. I find that Chet liked to play melodies rather than continuous bebop lines which can easily be mistaken for a lack of knowledge in music theory.

Everyone should just appreciate the musicianship and his contributions he made to this art form!

I love this song! Knew it with Anthony Perkins ^^

Claudio Roditi (famous Brazilian jazz trumpeter who subbed for Chet on a number of dates toward the end of Chet's career) once confirmed for me that Chet knew next to nothing about "music theory"... either that, or he never indicated that he did.  In Cluadio's paraphrased words: "... he didn't know chords, but his natural ear, and his sense of timing were impeccable".   Chet Baker is, hands down, one of my favorite jazz players (and singers).  His dedication to lyricism is unsurpassed.

Generic comment on heroin taking all the good musicians' lives too soon.

Hey, anyone know what recording this was from/personnel/year? Cheeeeeeeers

When your life was through and the angels asked you to recall the thrill of them all, for sure you told them that making this fantastic music is what you remember the most of all!

I can hear some whistling around 2:07 I think. GREAT TUNE, GREAT VERSION!
