Rest in Peace, Ellis Marsalis, Harry Connick Jr.'s piano teacher and the master that accompanied him here. Thank you for this wonderful music that still moves me, 30 years later.
And, he knows just when to croon to make his voice soooo sexy! Then, when you know how much he loves his wife, it makes him even more sexy. Never to be touched, but......he sure knows how to bring back sweet memories of the past....when there was love in my heart, for the one.
Dear Mr. Connicck, With some the Greatest Singers of these treasured and wonderful songs from A Golden Time in our world thank you from keeping that wonderful sound alive.
The pianist is Mr. Ellis Marsalis. Thanks to Wynton's "Skain's Domain", Episode 3, and Joey Alexander's story of the first time he heard this track. RIP
Let's give respect to the composer and original singer of this brilliant tune who also wrote Georgia on My Mind, Skylark, and many other beautiful songs still recoredd to this day. His name is Hoagy Carmichael.
It's a beautiful song, isn't it? It must be very special to you. It's special to me because my father used to play it on the piano when I was growing up, in the 1960s.
Soooo nice. Thank you Harry. Sweet. H Carmichael wrote this Unforgettable melody in 1927. 4:15 Mitchel Parish wrote the A year or so later. And this song truly haunts my reverie... It's worth your time to read bio on Mitchel Parish... After all, he met with Jerry Garcia (his grand nephew, Steve Parish was a roadie for the Grateful Dead).
Creo que Harry Connick, excelente musico y tambien muy buen actor deberia salir nuevamente en el cine merece aparecer actuando y cantando, para deleite de de todos los que apreciamos su talento..
Christine auzanne You touch me in deep heart!So much beautiful song!very beautiful voice so sweet.Effective,you are a crooner.Excellent pianist.Thanks.
I"ve always enjoyed Harry Connick Jr.'s Music 🎶 kinda has a Frank Sinatra feel and vibe. He has a soulful voice and with the Piano to accompany it very beautiful melody to hear. ❣️
My fave song beautiful Nat Cole did the best but Michael Buble with Naturally 7 version brilliant I still love BLUE LIGHT RED LIGHT by Harry jnr that albums 30 years old now bloody hell time needs to slow a wee bit enjoy these classics folks from David North Norfolk English Coast 🎥🎸🎺🎻🎷🎶🎼🎹🍀
Dang it Harry. I've been following your career since I was 16 (Memphis Belle) and have enjoyed singing along with you on every album. I play a little piano but love your style. Now I find out you got this Playground Sessions? Shut up and TAKE MY MONEY!! Love ya bro.
He's been lousy his whole career. Did you ever hear him live ? Anyway, check out his ears. Cesare Lombrozo would have a field day with this mental case. There are photographs available online that support the Lombrozo theory of insanity and criminality. Compare them to this nut-job. See what I mean !
@@ismellpoop8175 are you serious? 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Lombroso is hugely discredited. He's no better than the people running the Salem witch hunts. Honestly, Harry Connick Jr. is great live.
SÉ QUE TE ABANDONÉ, PERO NO TE OLVIDÉ. UN REENCUENTRO MUY NECESARIO PARA MÍ, AL MENOS SÉ QUE ESTÁS VIVO. TODO HA CAMBIADO, NO SÉ A DÓNDE VAMOS PORQUE NO SABEMOS A DÓNDE NOS LLEVAN LOS MAGNANTES DE LAS GUERRAS.
Yes, yes it is. Ellis was Harry's teacher and he plays Stardust in this version, featured in Harry Connick's Jr.'s album 25. It's the first song in that album, and the only one played by Ellis. All the other songs are by Harry. Ellis is just superb in phrasing and elegance.
This is not even a close alternative to the greatest rendering of all. The tempo is, to coin a word, andantissimo, so funereally. slow that the individual words come apart! The intricate lacy structure of Hoagy Carmichael and Mitchell Parrish's immortal lyrics (especially that opening octet): And now the purple dusk of twilight time Steals across the meadows of my heart; High up in the sky the little stars climb Always reminding me that we're apart. You wandered down the lane and far away, Leaving me a song that will not die, Love is now the stardust of yesterday, The music of the years gone by. "Steals across the meadows of my heart", "The music of the year's gone by": these moving words were Mitchell Parrish's immortal contribution, which turned Hoagy Carmichael's unfocussed, aimless original into a literary classic (I taught English Literature at the Univs. of Leicester and Kent at Canterbury, and used to hand it out to the students at our weekly practical criticism classes - and then play them the greatest rendering of this "music of the years gone by". The "greatest rendering"? Yes,. Frank Sinatra recorded a second rate version (which left out the opening octet - and instantly relegated his version to the second class). Turn to Nat King Cole's version. An Italian waiter at Oxford when I was doing my Ph.D.. made the shrewd observation:"Frankie will sing any old song, but Nat King Cole was immaculate in his choice of the songs he sang". This immortal song, sung at just the right pace (andante), in Nat Cole's smoky, baritone-tenor voice,, and immaculate enunciation, turns it into a once-in-a-lifetime melody. Listen to it for yourselves. DIPAK NANDY
Nat's version is good vocally, but it doesn't compare to this. How do you cover a Hoagy Carmichael song, and eliminate the piano? Shameful. And Unfocused? He wrote this immortal tune. What makes you think you can pan it, like some cover version you're listening to? You shouldn't be teaching anyone, anything, blowhard.
Of course, you're entitled to your personal preference but obviously miss Mr. Connick, Jr.'s point, stainless0521. Artists cover other artists in an attempt to enhance an original, adding a newer, fresher lyrical/musical interpretation to what another artist has done, not merely duplication...
A nice rendition. No embellishment for a simple song, simply delivered.
Rest in Peace, Ellis Marsalis, Harry Connick Jr.'s piano teacher and the master that accompanied him here. Thank you for this wonderful music that still moves me, 30 years later.
Liner notes told of Mr. Marsalis walking in, laying it down, and walking out. A compliment to Harry.
🥰🥰 Hello Beloved fan....🤩🤩....
A great person and a great musician.
Harry’s version is my favorite and I’ve heard all of them. Yes, RIP MR. Marsalis 💗
🥰🥰 Hello Beloved fan....🤩🤩....
One of my favorite songs for 30 years now. Man...that's an old lady statement.
Beautiful music and singer song reminds me of my beautiful wife Judy. I miss you so much. I love you, babe. Merry Christmas.💕💕💕💕💕🙏😢
I’ve heard so many great renditions of this gem of a classic, and this is absolutely up there with the very very best.
Yes, but NO ONE can touch Nat King Cole's version!
Nat King Cole is the best version
Easily the best interpretation of this song.
An oh so rare quality in his voice like the great crooners of another time. Great timing, and tone... unique!
And, he knows just when to croon to make his voice soooo sexy! Then, when you know how much he loves his wife, it makes him even more sexy. Never to be touched, but......he sure knows how to bring back sweet memories of the past....when there was love in my heart, for the one.
Love you Harry Connick Jr, you make Néw Orleans proud!
And his phrasing!
Dear Mr. Connicck,

He was also his piano teacher, I think.
My parents danced to this song at their wedding in 1961. It is also on their tombstone. 🥹
It's a beautiful song, isn't it? It must be very special to you. It's special to me because my father used to play it on the piano when I was growing up, in the 1960s.
Brilliant approach on a wonderfull standard, this is a great rendition !.........💃
This is a truly wonderful straight ahead version.
Soooo nice. Thank you
Harry. Sweet.

Love Harry 🎤🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥❤️
🥰🥰 Hello Beloved fan....🤩🤩....
Perfect timing excelent Singer. He went away from the show business we dont know why.
His diction is Sinatra level precise here. Cole's version is a distant second to Harry's.
Love it - equal (almost) to Sinatra's version on Sinatra and Strings. Harry sings verse and chorus, Sinatra only verse (sublime).
Que maravilla !!!!gracias por tu música jazz y baladas
🥰🥰 Hello Beloved fan....🤩🤩....
Thanks.
HE'S A BADASSSSSSS!!!
We'll miss you, Ellis.
🥰🥰 Hello Beloved fan....🤩🤩....
Good voice.

LUCKY YOU

My fave song beautiful Nat Cole did the best but Michael Buble with Naturally 7 version brilliant I still love BLUE LIGHT RED LIGHT by Harry jnr that albums 30 years old now bloody hell time needs to slow a wee bit enjoy these classics folks from David North Norfolk English Coast 🎥🎸🎺🎻🎷🎶🎼🎹🍀

How was he so good so young?
lots of practice from a very early age. he wanted to be the best at his art.
He's been lousy his whole career. Did you ever hear him live ? Anyway, check out his ears. Cesare Lombrozo would have a field day with this mental case.

Some people are just born for perfection.. he is definitely one of those people
Good.
Makes you think
My highschool song
Been looking for clean versions of the tune with more definitive melody, this is one of the best versions along with Nat King Cole’s take.
Beautiful Audubon park in New Orleans
🥰🥰 Hello Beloved fan....🤩🤩....

🥰🥰 Hello Beloved fan....🤩🤩....
To anyone who thinks some crappy guy like Buble could fill Connick's shoes, here's the proof that it just can't be
He is a step above Sinatra IMHO
SÉ QUE TE ABANDONÉ, PERO NO TE OLVIDÉ. UN REENCUENTRO MUY NECESARIO PARA MÍ, AL MENOS SÉ QUE ESTÁS VIVO.
TODO HA CAMBIADO, NO SÉ A DÓNDE VAMOS PORQUE NO SABEMOS A DÓNDE NOS LLEVAN LOS MAGNANTES DE LAS GUERRAS.
P.S I love you 🤣 he plays in that movie
🥰🥰 Hello Beloved fan....🤩🤩....

In 2020 sounding fresher than Buble. Just saying.
🥰🥰 Hello Beloved fan....🤩🤩....
Too right!
Thanks for the likes @@MouseMotes
Ellis Marsalis is the pianist I’d most like to be mistaken for. Connick’s rendition is wonderful, moving.
Ashley Reacts: Harry Connick Jr.-Stardust is the Song.
Divino,por favor por ngan la letra doblada a español,para los pobres sudamericanos del fin del mundo gracias
LO PREFIERO CON UN POCO MÁS RÍTMICO Y CAMISA NEGRA.
HAY Q DARLE ALEGRÍA AL CUERPO Y ESTE HOMBRE SABE HACERLO CON SU MÚSICA.🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷
RIP Ellis Marsalis
is that Ellis Marsalis on piano? he taught everyone
Yes, yes it is. Ellis was Harry's teacher and he plays Stardust in this version, featured in Harry Connick's Jr.'s album 25. It's the first song in that album, and the only one played by Ellis. All the other songs are by Harry. Ellis is just superb in phrasing and elegance.
He has a kind of Frank Sinatra thing going on. He's his own person, but it's this thing...a good thing.
He acts as though its a chore to do this song!
