Song of the day: Irving Berlin >> "Cheek to Cheek"

Naturally, he did not know that someone called "Irving Berlin" existed, much less he had been one of the most prolific composers of the music scene for films, until he saw his name in the [discord channel of @ classical-music](https: // discord. gg / utcfxba).
Start the search from zero ... in wikipedia, of course ..

Naturalmente ignoraba que existira alguén chamado "Irving Berlin", e moito menos que fora un dos compositores mais prolíticos da escea da música para filmes, ata que vi seu nome na canle discord de @classical-music.
Inicio a percura partindo de cero.... na wikipedia, claro...

The first entry I find is Irving Berlin - The Songbook of Irving Berlin that I let it sound.
Meanwhile I search more information about the song that seems to have been the irving Berlin's greatest international success: "Alexander's Ragtime Band" in 1911 .... but in the music that is in the background alone ... "Cheek to cheek", song of which I am fond of and that I frequent in its version of Ella Fidgerald and Louis Armstrong ... going to explore a little more ... is Irving Berlin the author of this song? Yes !!!

Continuo a Percura. Probo aghora en Youtube...

"Cheek to cheek", canción da que gosto fondamente e que frecuento na súa versión de Ella Fidgerald e Louis Armstrong... compreme percurar un pouco mais... ¿é Irving Berlin o autor de esta canción?

Cheek to Cheek // Ella Fidgerald (1960)

Recorded at the Embers night-club in Melbourne during late 1960, and telecast on 14 January 1961 on Australian television. Ella is backed by the Lou Levy Quartet. Aired as part of the "BP Super Show", hence why their logo appears...

Xa dixen que coñecera esta canción por Fidgerald/Armstrong. Non atopei un video acaido de ambos, pero pareceme suficiente este porque pareceme que Ella fidgerald e seus músicos elevan o tema.
Gravado no clube nocturno de Embers en Melbourne a finais de 1960, e transmitido o 14 de xaneiro de 1961 na televisión australiana. Ella está apoiada polo Cuarteto Lou Levy. Emitido como parte do "BP Super Show", por iso, polo que aparece o seu logotipo ...

Jane Monheit - Cheek To Cheek (2003)

I was searching any innovative version of the "Cheek to Cheek" when I found this interpretation of the American Jane Monheit. I found myself sufficiently attractive and bold to reflect on it here.

Andaba a percura de unha versión mais atrevida do "Cheek to Cheek" cando atopei esta interpretación da Estadounidense Jane Monheit. Pareceume suficientemente atractiva e ousada como para reflexala eiquí.

Cheek to Cheek - Diana Krall - (Live in Rio) (2008)

Finishing to investigate, and seeing that there is not much daring to face the issue that concerns us, and already about to leave I found this Interpretation of Diana Krall , where he makes an approach in jazz key (understood as interpretative freedom)

Rematando de indagar, e mirando que non hai moito atrevemento a hora de afrontar o tema que nos ocupa, e xa a piques de abandoar atopei esta Interpretación de Diana Krall, onde fai unha aproximación en clave jazz (entendido como liberdade interpretativa)

Lyrics

Ceo, estou no ceo, E o meu corazón late para que eu non poida falar E paréceme atopar a felicidade que busco Cando estamos xuntos bailando, cara a cara Ceo, estou no ceo, E os coidados que me rodean durante a semana Parece desaparecer como a racha de sorte do xogador Cando estamos xuntos bailando, cara a cara ¡Ah! Eu amo subir unha montaña, E para alcanzar o pico máis alto, Pero non me emociona a metade Como bailar a meixela cara ¡Ah! Encántame saír á pesca Nun río ou un arroio, Pero non me gusta tanto Como bailar a meixela cara Danza comigo Quero o meu brazo por ti O encanto de ti Me levará ao ceo Estou no ceo E o meu corazón late para que eu non poida falar E paréceme atopar a felicidade que busco Cando estamos xuntos bailando a fazula cara a fazula

Heaven, I'm in heaven, And my heart beats so that I can hardly speak And I seem to find the happiness I seek When we're out together dancing, cheek to cheek Heaven, I'm in heaven, And the cares that hang around me through the week Seem to vanish like a gambler's lucky streak When we're out together dancing, cheek to cheek Oh! I love to climb a mountain, And to reach the highest peak, But it doesn't thrill me half as much As dancing cheek to cheek Oh! I love to go out fishing In a river or a creek, But I don't enjoy it half as much As dancing cheek to cheek Dance with me I want my arm about you The charm about you Will carry me through to heaven I'm in heaven And my heart beats so that I can hardly speak And I seem to find the happiness I seek When we're out together dancing cheek to cheek
