Sarah Vaughan with Clifford Brown - Lullaby of Birdland (EmArcy Records 1954) descargar videos gratis

"Lullaby of Birdland" is a 1952 popular song with music by George Shearing and lyrics by George David Weiss under the pseudonym "B. Y. Forster" in order to circumvent the rule that ASCAP and BMI composers could not collaborate. The title refers to Charlie "Bird" Parker and the Birdland jazz club named after him. The song has been recorded by many vocal and instrumental performers. In Stan Freberg's comic version of "The Great Pretender", the jazz pianist ad libs the first six notes of "Lullaby of Birdland", before the singer angrily shouts "WATCH IT!!"

Sarah's accompanied by Leader/Arranger: Ernie Wilkins, Clifford Brown (trumpet), Herbie Mann (flute), Paul Quinichette (tenor), Jimmy Jones (piano), Joe Benjamin (bass), and Roy Haynes (drums). Recorded in New York, December 18, 1954. (EmArcy Records)

Lullaby of birdland

That's what I

Always hear, when you sigh

Never in my wordland

Could there ways to reveal

In a phrase, how I feel

Have you ever heard two turtledoves

Bill and coo

When they love

That's the kind of magic music

We make with our lips

When we kiss

And there's a weepy ol' willow

He really knows how to cry

That's how I cry on my pillow

If you should tell me

Farewell and goodbye

Lullaby of birdland

Whisper low

Kiss me sweet, and we'll go

Flying high in birdland,

High in the sky up above

All because we're in love

Sarah Scats

There's a weepy ol' willow

He really knows how to cry

That's how I cry on my pillow

If you should tell me

Farewell and goodbye

Lullaby of birdland

Whisper low

Kiss me sweet, and we'll go

Flying high in birdland,

High in the sky up above

All because we're in love
