Jonathan's Top 5 Songs of Spring
New Standards | Mar 21, 2017
Jonathan Schwartz welcomes the season with his top 5 songs about spring:
5. Frank Sinatra "Spring Is Here"
Good news from Sinatra (well sort of)! Delivered on his 1958 Capitol record Frank Sinatra Sings for Only the Lonely.
4. Ella Fitzgerald "Spring Can Really Hang You Up The Most"
No one said they all have to be happy. Ella reminds us you're nobody in spring time unless somebody loves you.
3. Blossom Dearie "They Say It's Spring"
With a first name like Blossom, Dearie knows a thing or two about spring. But she still has to ask: "am I falling in love or is it the weather?"
2. Eydie Gorme "Spring Will Be a Little Late This Year"
Yet another sad spring song. Eydie Gorme performs Frank Loesser's take on seasonal depression.
1. Judy Garland & Mel Tormé "April in Paris"
The song that TripAdvisor wrote. You wouldn't know it by the lyrics, but Yip Harburg had never been to Paris before writing "April in Paris." He did his research by reading travel brochures.
