- Опубликовано: 11 фев 2025
- Louis Alter instrumental from 1928 that got lyrics later on. Best known as a musical cue from The Godfather (when Tom Hagen visits Woltz in LA) but was also the theme from My Man Godfrey. Tommy Dorsey had a hit with it, sung by Jo Stafford and so did Harry James, sung by Helen Forrest.
Dig the crackle coming from my 1930s Volu-Tone tube amplifier behind me and the warm simplicity from my 1930s Amperite ribbon microphone in front of me.

Just came here from the Dassault - Kennedy Steve video, great song.
This man deserves tiny desk concert!!
For real, I'd listen to it over and over!
Thank you Nassault for showing me this cover.
I don't know how you managed this other than pure talent, but when I first heard you in Nassault's Kennedy Steve video, I thought it was the original Manhattan Serenade.
Finding out it wasn't though was a joyous surprise.
Brilliant!! Creative and so clean. I can't stop watching this.
I'm trying to learn this style of jazz singing and playing the guitar, there is no one who does it like him that I could find so far. He is masterful at this fingerstyle jazz, his tone, he sings so tastefully rhythmically and tonewise, with such a feel.
Amazing.
I think you actually have the best voice i've ever heard.
Wow! Wow! Wow! What talent!
The algorithm has truly blessed me with this amazing cover today. Your silky smooth voice and soft guitar work have simply taken my breath away!
so good
🎵🎶Sweet!!🎵🎶
Man I like it , you deserve a chance with all those stars today
Awesome
Ah this great a one man band, keep playing i will always be your most happiest listener, thank you
Dude that muted trumpet/jazz sax impression is insane!
Sean Carscadden brought me here. Love your "horns", git skills and vox. Subscribed
Over the top!
Your music makes me cry... it reminds me of my grandfather who has dementia... thanks you.
The song just makes you feel you're about to land in one of those Pan Am Clipper planes.
Beautiful, just beautiful. Coming across stuff like this, is what's making surfing RUclips worthwhile.

Wow. What a sweet voice, my man.
I've already seen a comment along these regards. However, please put this masterpiece on Spotify.
You're a national treasure...
He really is...
Great genius on full display
How fucking good is this, I mean, his guitar-playing suits his singing perfectly. And his voice creates this melancholy mood so often found in great hits.
Thank you for your music, good man.

I HAD SEEN SOUL IN HIS SONG.
Amazing man! What mic is that?
amperite RAH
Make a guitar lesson on this song plase 😢
Hi sir, i have only one request.. can you make karaoke version of this manhattan serenade so others and me can sing this song .. please
Anyone here from Kennedy Steve lol
Ay Nassault introduced me to this guy
Good job. These people need to make it in the music industry. not the terrible pop "Artists".
sounding a little like ol' blue eye's ,son a nice imitation of Frank
but an imitation of Fred Astaire that would be brilliant .
or a Louis Armstrong scat that would be icing the cake
please give us a guitar tab or chord sheet!!!
If you're not touring the nation; you damn well should be.
A guitar lesson would be awesome ..
Excellent...!!! Why don't you go America's got Talent? You'd be a sure thing.
brass by mouth???
He looks like job faverau
Love it!
