Celebrating Hoagy Carmichael Day! He sure was one hell of a talented guy, straight from the suburbs of Indiana!
Gastón Di Doménico
Hoagy is from my home in Indiana, Bloomington. He wrote "Stardust" sitting on the brick wall between Teeter and Wright Quads at Indiana University. He played music all over Bloomington in 1920s. You could walk down the street and hear his piano playing, and he played at all the college haunts. Learned this from his two autobiographies. "Georgia on My Mind" was written for his sister, Georgia, not the state. I wish people would get that right. Love his music.

Love the songs of Hoagy Carmichael, especially the ones he wrote with Johnny Mercer.

"sad as a gypsy serenading the moon"-thank you Johnny Mercer! Great bridge and complex melody line that make the song so satisfying to listen to and to sing. I love listening to Hoagy singing it simply, no pretenses. Maxine Sullivan's version is beautifully lilting.

Skylark, have you anything to say to me,
Won't you tell me where my love can be?
Is there a meadow in the mist
Where someone's waiting to be kissed?
Skylark, have you seen a valley green with spring
Where my heart can go a-journeying
Over the shadows and the rain to a blossom-covered lane?
And in your lonely flight haven't you heard the music of the night?
Wonderful music, faint as a will-'o-the-wisp, crazy as a loon,
Sad as a gypsy serenading the moon, oh
Skylark, I don't know if you can find these things,
But my heart is riding on your wings
So if you see them anywhere
Won't you lead me there

Adore this. Hoagy Carmichael composed some of the most timeless beautiful music that forever moves you - Skylark, Georgia, Stardust (incredible), The Nearness of You....Exquisite. And yes - like a comment below - it's very special to have the composer sing it himself.

Art Pepper on alto, Jimmy Rowles on piano, Johnny Mandel's magnificently understated arrangement...
...and Hoagy hisself, the loosest, most relaxed singer who ever lived.
(The tune itself is a compositional masterpiece, and, thanks to Johnny Mercer, a lyrical masterpiece as well.)

Wonderful, so relaxing, wish people would compose in this genre today!

I saw this on Classical Baby, and am hooked! What a treasure! His voice is just... satin! I had no idea, he composed this as well? Stunning.

I'm just coming to know Hoagy Carmichael as a singer, what a beautiful voice. I fell in love with this song from Linda Ronstadt's cover. This is the kind of music I keep coming back to, even though I was a teenager in the 60's and grew up on Dion, Ricky and the Everly Brothers. My parents were born before WWI and so I have a huge and varied selection of music that I love. Thank you for adding to my collection.

Hoagy's music comes out of me when I practice my electric bass. That would be Stardust of course. But reading his Wikipedia, the blessings of the Internet and your appreciation of his work gives me a chance to journey to the time when America gave birth to its own song. The Standards. Thanks.

Skylark, have you anything to say to me,

Over the shadows and the rain to a blossom-covered lane?
And in your lonely flight haven't you heard the music of the night?
Wonderful music, faint as a will-'o-the-wisp, crazy as a loon,
Sad as a gypsy serenading the moon, oh
Skylark, I don't know if you can find these things,
But my heart is riding on your wings
So if you see them anywhere

Contrary to the album cover it’s Jimmy Rowles on piano, one of the great accompanists. Rowles penned a rather exquisite tune himself ‘The Peacocks’ which was later covered by Bill Evans among others.

Some folks say that this is the greatest song ever. It certainly is one of the best. My favorite version is this one.
