Mel had the best jazz vocal phrasing and ornamentation of them all - not only because of his inherent musicality but also because he was an excellent drummer and jazz combo player as a youngster. He knew where and how to vary the original melody line without doing it for its own sake or without ruining the piece.
Up at dawnin', sleepy and yawnin'Still the taste of wineThen I remember you're mine andI've got a world that's fine What's before me, routines that bore mePunch the clock at eightBut what a lucky guy I amI've got a world that's great. Atom bombs, Cap Canaveral and false alarmsHalf the universe is up in armsSo I flip a little too, until I'm holding you. What's the hassle, I'll buy the castleWe can live like KingsIf we're together foreverI've got a world thatYou've got a world thatWe'ver got a world that swings! You've got me acting like a square out on a picnicWearing a smile each time we touchBut to split the square scene, I declineI've got a world that's fine! I'm hip, you're hipEvery chick even her cousinKnows that your style is much too muchStill you like to play it cool and straightI've got a world that's great! Walking and talking in the sunStaying awake and list'ning to the soundsTalking and planning spinning funRides to places out of bounds... I'd like to take youThrough this wild wonderful ventureFly like a kite through spaceNo stringsI'm not gonna lose that bell that ringsI've got a world thatYou've got a world thatWe've got a world that swings

Mel lives on via the internet. The world is fortunate. England, October, 2024.
Mel Torme's voice is so smooth he was nicknamed " The Velvet Fog ".

I first heard this tune in the original Nutty Professor film, starring Jerry Lewis. I didn't know Mel Torme" did a version of the tune. Great stuff!
Both are wonderful but I'm most partial to Jerry's version. 💖
This song is perfect for Mel. Or maybe it's just that Mel makes every song sound perfect.
GREAT SONG GREAT SINGER GOD BLESS YOU MEL TORME WE ALWAYS REMEMBER YOU
I love Mel Torme, his voice, his style and his scat!❤️
THANKS for posting this gem - Mel was a lot hipper than he was given credit for...... he also did a killer version of "Comin' Home Baby"........
Never thought I would hear another version of this! Much less by the great Mel Torme! xoxox

They called him The Velvet Fog. He was also a great drummer.
I love Mel torme, But, No one puts the zeal into that song like Jerry Lewis!!!
He's not Buddy Love, but he's pretty good too
Mel was actually a giant but kept his cool.
