Listen to how beautifully Bruce sings the wonderful and important low note in the phrase "So deep in my heart, <b>you're</b> really a part of me." Sinatra doesn't even attempt it, and he adds a superfluous "that" to the phrase -- "<i>that</i> you're really a part of me."<br /><br />I'd love to hear how Sinatra sang it on his radio show in 1946. I don't think that version was recorded. The YouTube clip that says it's Sinatra's 1946 version is actually the 1956 Nelson Riddle arrangement.Mark Caplanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15157338755022593966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24200494.post-39627136312494493712015-10-07T06:26:31.764-04:002015-10-07T06:26:31.764-04:00Your post about Sinatra's improving on the ori...Your post about Sinatra's improving on the original "I've Got You Under My Skin" got me wondering what the original sounded like. YouTube has it, a clip from <i>Born to Dance</i>, with (according to Wikipedia) Eleanor Powell on screen lip-syncing to Virginia Bruce's voice. Frankly, I never knew how great this song was, having heard only upbeat arrangements with Sinatra and others that gloss over and almost trivialize the emotional depth of the lyrics.<br /><br />"I've Got You Under My Skin," from <i>Born to Dance</i> (1936)<br />https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ap9BZo18TssMark Caplanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15157338755022593966noreply@blogger.com
