With all due respect, no one is missing that fact, we all get it. Yeah, it's a pretty cheeky presentation. I like it. And Torme's phrasing is of course out of this world. Such a classic song.
The best liner note I ever read was from Mr. Sinatra on an album of Mel's "If I'm the Chairman of the Board than Mel Torme owns the company." Two giants. Respective of each other's talent. It doesn't get better than that.
I only discovered this song and Mel about 15 years ago and I was annoyed that I hadn't had 'I'm coming home' in the previous 50 years of my life. Velvet fog, viscous silk, smoother than a quantum stabilised atom mirror.
His vocal style and note range sound deceptively simple, but only a master could make you believe that. He can seamlessly transition between and bend notes--superb.
@@fuzzyotterpaws4395 I forgot, it was like three or so years ago. Come to think of it, Amit may have been Samsung. Either way, it was a phone commercial
Met Mel several times around 1980. I was a tech for Advent, a large screen t.v. manufacturing company. Mel was an owner, so when he needed service, I went to his home. Such a nice guy , and funny too. when I walked in the door, first thing he would say.."what's up babe"
@Wargeocsrl -- Not disputing your experience, but my father owned a nightclub in the '50s, and I remember his telling a completely different story about Mel. A great talent nonetheless. Great on Seinfeld as well!
When I first heard this song I thought it was Nina Simone but then I looked it up and it was a man singing I was blown away. His voice is amazing thanks for sharing.
Fabulous! The old fashioned style & famous blinding yet in check always ceuthe, of the times, & the ladies & girls of the times, with Sir Mel & the Band & Orchestra putting forth their best and challenging the audience to find something good in life, and sing you cads, sing. Lol. Bravo.😇❤️🔒🔐
It is fairly safe to say that Buble was not the first to sing anything. He was not even born when the maestro Torme was belting this out. Whilst young Michael has a nice tone to his voice he has a very limited range unlike Mel who was one of the greatest vocalists of the 20th century. All of the singers that have followed Mel are greatly indebted to him. His style has influenced virtually every jazz singer of the last 60 years.
Honestly, people comparing Bublé with singers as Mel Torme and Frank Sinatra, two of the greatest singers of the century, don't really know Mel and Frank at their best. Today, people are always wanting to find the new Mel Torme, new Sinatra, new Ella Fitzgerald, new Billie Holiday, new Sarah Vaughan...
Buble is limited in his dynamics. His 'drone' approach I guess is considered sexy to the women. Torme has a natural laid back Jazz approach. And just listen to that Big Band behind Torme - Superb arrangement. (composer/musician/ Jazz, Rock and Blues singer for almost 50 years)
I heard Buble on the radio and was FLABBERGASTED. Regardless of what one might think of his voice (not for me) surely operating in the genre he does, there's no need for autotune?
I liked Mel very much, also his 50´s songs, much more then Frank Sinatra. I think he was a very sympathetic and friendly person. He was very funny on the Lucy Show in 1965 when he was playing a musician. Thank´s Mel!
@@debrahawkins5475 Middle Class Bogan is a very funny Australian sitcom. This song is its theme song. The story is about an upper class doctor in her 30s who discovers she was adopted. She tracks down her birth parents to find they are "bogans" (Australian slang for "rednecks") who operate an up and down drag racing company. She struggles to integrate her previous lifestyle with this discovery of her birth parents and siblings. It's a very well produced show.
Rowland108 I remember The Cookies they sang a song called Chains in the early 60's. They were wonderful as backup for I'm Coming Home. Too bad he didn't use them on this show.
@@tiawilliams5690 Exactly! There's no way early Sixties television would have a White man singing to Black women that he was "coming home". Too bad, because the record with The Cookies is way better than this version.
Falcon and Winter Soldier brought me here. Re watched it for the umpteenth time this week and this song stuck in my head❤ really catchy. Miss the boys (SamBucky❤)
Mel's style like Frank's style like Nat King Cole 's style is Forever Classic Male! His,voice is an instrument of freak n wonder! He could sing anything. Plus this solos really cool in the George Clooney commercial!
On this day in 1962 {November 29th} Mel Torme performed "Comin' Home Baby" on the late Dick Clark's 'American Bandstand'... Twenty six days earlier on November 3rd it entered Billboard's Hot Top 100 chart; eventually it peaked at #36 and spent 11 weeks on the Top 100... Also in 1962 it was covered by Booker T. & the M.G.s on their "Green Onions" LP album... The 'Velvet Fog' passed away on June 5th, 1999 at the age of 73 {a stroke}... R.I.P. Mr. Torme and Mr. Clark {1929 - 2012}...
I have heard so many versions of this song - the first from one of those T-Mobile airport flash mob commercials in the early 2000s. I had no idea this was Mel until I searched it up from an article on the Umbrella Academy. Gotta admit, I like the newer versions. "You know, everything old can be made new again..." - Effie Trinket
I never heard Mels music only heard about him from the tv show night court and the Late Harry Anderson was a huge fan I curiously listened to his music he is really good
@roots66 Absolutely! The tune, the clothes, the bikes, the set design and the fact that Wikipedia says The Judy Garland Show did run from 1963 til 1964 is a clear giveaway... ;)
Remembering Mel Tormé born on September 13, 1925. He was nicknamed "The Velvet Fog", was an American musician, singer, composer, arranger, drummer, actor, and author. In 1944, he formed the vocal quintet Mel Tormé and His Mel-Tones, modeled on Frank Sinatra and The Pied Pipers. The Mel-Tones, which included Les Baxter and Ginny O'Connor, had several hits fronting Artie Shaw's band and on their own, including Cole Porter's "What Is This Thing Called Love?. - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mel_Torm%C3%A9
He was a jazz artist, that’s why. He generally avoided the big band sound of Frank Sinatra, the Elvis of pre-rock, and he’s the better for it, then and now

Everybody missing the fact that he telling five chicks he coming home..lol
You gotta admire how the little Jewish fella pulled five beautiful shiksas.
I think these lovely ladies that he's coming home to all gotta be his daughters right???
With all due respect, no one is missing that fact, we all get it. Yeah, it's a pretty cheeky presentation. I like it. And Torme's phrasing is of course out of this world. Such a classic song.
Its man’s nature cant get just one chick 🤦🏻♀️

Yeah, two overrated giants.

More accurately, the Velvet Bore.
This is awesome!!! So nice to see Mel. Before he was famous my father used to play piano with him.
No shit. That's cool!
I love everything about this.
fur shure
Likewise
Than you need a man like me
It's so cool 😎
Awesome. He is missed.
The “Velvet Fog” is legendary.
Smooth, sexy, styling and Mel.
Wonderful.
How sad that entertainment isn't like this now and hasn't been for years. Mel was always so natutally charismatic.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I so adore retro early 60's - and rea musicians andl music!
Decor, Dress, People, Music, Movies - Over the Top - Hip

My favorite part of these musicians is the music none of them are playing.
His vocal style and note range sound deceptively simple, but only a master could make you believe that. He can seamlessly transition between and bend notes--superb.
He was inspired by Ella Fitzgerald and cites her as his biggest musical inspiration ❤

@Buzz the cat Bruh!!! I kept trying to figure out where I first heard it while watching Falcon & Winter Soldier! Thanks fro reminding me
@Buzz the cat Night Court

Season 2 of the Umbrella Academy introduced me to this song..
My absolute favorite version of this song. Fantastic.
What a groovy tune🔥 for 2021😍the video too... smiles
Hello sharrie how are you doing 👋👋👋👋👋
The 'Velvet Fog' Mel Torme 🖤 Complete Magnificent Talent 💙
Hard to believe its 50 years old. It's so modern.
Never heard of this before episode 3 of the Falcon and the Winter Soldier!
The riff it’s familiar
Never seen that apple commercial? That’s where I’m from
@@606films9 What apple commercial?
@@fuzzyotterpaws4395 I forgot, it was like three or so years ago. Come to think of it, Amit may have been Samsung. Either way, it was a phone commercial
Same here
This is fabulous on so many levels!
What a beautiful, powerful voice!

Guys like him and back then had some class. Was Merv Griffin at his house?

Instrumental version by Quincy Jones is the intro in episode 3 of 'The Queens Gambit. ' And this is just cold-rolled-steel liquid cool 😎
You can definitely hear and feel Quincy’s influence in this song too.
A classic song, and Mel Torme was one great singer.( I just hope somebody remembered to open the stage door before he rode off)
Love the distant, indifferent look of the girls.. BRILLIANT RETRO... :))
Gee, I just WONDER why they were indifferent. Let me see.....
The original isn't retro.
@@jasonbeard4713 perhaps because they had to dance around an ugly toad with a boring monotone voice.

Look at those gorgeous motorcycles!
A fine song.
what a voice. I love him.
You can be 10,20,30 or a hundred,don't matter,this will always be some of the greatest music in history.
It's the VELVET FOG😂😂😂
Yes, Falcon and the Winter Soldier brought me here 🤷🏾♂️

What a superb song!!!
Came here from “Bess of Both Worlds”! Love it!
The Cookies - 3 young black girls did the fantastic backing vocals on the original Atlantic 45 but Mel never used them live or on tv
Rowland108 I remember The Cookies they sang a song called Chains in the early 60's. They were wonderful as backup for I'm Coming Home. Too bad he didn't use them on this show.
That’s EXACTLY why I looked up this video. I was thinkin the backup singers have waaaay too much soul on the track
Getting Black people on TV during that era wasn’t an easy task. That’s most likely a network decision.

It's also in a Nissan commercial, that's what brought me here!
Well, kudos to you for recognizing it.
GREATEST VIDEO ........ EVER !!!!!!
Anyone from Falcon and Winter Solider episode 3?

I just love this song.
Frekin Mel was (and still) so COOL!
Falcon and The Winter Soldier gangg
My oh my, the very last woman who sings 'coming home' there at end, my gosh, beautiful voice you can tell, gave me goose bumps
Or rather "come on home"
Yes, yes, yes! Beautiful sultry deep voice!!
The pitch and tonality = The Velvet Fog!
One of Mel's best!
Fabulous!
Loved this! He was so cool. Reminded me of James Bond
Nice comment hello 👋
Love this song and this version
A Bevy of Beautiful Bikes!
Falcon and Winter Soldier brought me here. Re watched it for the umpteenth time this week and this song stuck in my head❤ really catchy. Miss the boys (SamBucky❤)
thanks for posting this clip xxx
The song "I'm A Man" by the Spencer Davis Group reminds me a lot of this Mel Torme number.
Yo, I thought I was going crazy coz I always heard the similarities between the two but nobody else I know did😂
I was literally thinking that while listening to this! I’m so glad someone else realized this!
and the most curious thing is that song and coming home baby appeared in the umbrella academy
Great song, great singer.
Just heard this on a commercial. Hard to miss his voice. That's Mr. Fog to you.
I heard on a commercial to, and I haven't been able to forget ot.
