The Great American Songbook «The Singers»

Music and Lyrics for 100 Standarts from Golden Age of American Song.

Piano – Vocal – Guitar

Crooners, wailers, shouters, balladeers some of our greatest pop vocalists have poured their hearts and souls into the musical gems of the Great American Songbook. They sang in nightclubs and concert halls, on television and in films, and left us a legacy of recordings still in play today. Their interpretations entertained us, moved us to tears, and wove lyrics and music into the fabric of our lives, making us see ourselves in these quintessentially American songs. This folio features piano/vocal/guitar arrangements of 100 of these classics by Louis Armstrong (Hello Dolly * What a Wonderful World), Tony Bennett (I Left My Heart in San Francisco), Rosemary Clooney (Count Your Blessings Instead of Sheep), Nat “King” Cole (Route 66), Bing Crosby (True Love), Doris Day (Bewitched), Ella Fitzgerald (How High the Moon), Judy Garland (Rock-a-Bye Your Baby with a Dixie Melody), Dean Martin (Everybody Loves Somebody), Frank Sinatra (Young at Heart), Barbra Streisand (People), Mel Torme (Heart and Soul), and many, many more.

This volume has a large selection of songs with enough to satisfy almost any taste in American music. Although I cannot sight read, the sheet music provides me with enough information to check the melodies that I pick out by ear, and, of course, on when to insert those pesky diminished and minor seventh flat fifth chords that no three chord wonder ever knew about. Now I can play All Of Me and Autumn Leaves, and that’s only from the A’s. If you like to entertain an audience, you can’t go wrong buying this collection. Check out the complementary Composers volume, too.
