Harry Connick Jr

To anyone that thinks that Harry Connick Jr. copied or got any inspiration or anything from Michael Buble at all, just know that Harry was doing music and my family has known of him way before Michael's first cd. Look up Harry Connick 11. He was freaking 11 years old. I'm not meaning any of this in a rude way so please don't take it offensively but I don't like hearing that people think he coppied off of Michael. He was taught by incredible musicians and I've met him and he really knows jazz.

@5OClockVegasBlue im saddend to hear that somebody says this sounds like a buble song...sinatra personally passed the torch to harry connick....without connick there would be no krall...no cincotti...and yes no buble....harry kept this style going for decads just as darkamethyst said...but im not here to criticize....as long as you listen...soon you will be going out and buying all his albums....and most of them dazzle.....

@5OClockVegasBlue Because he's a jazz singer, like Buble...duh. It's a jazz-influenced version of the song, like the songs Buble sings. And I love Buble, too, but this guy's been singing for a couple decades earlier than him.

Harry Connick Jr. not only sings & plays the piano here, but he arranged, orchestrated AND conducted ALL of the songs on this album. He's doing a little more here than "covering." I like Elton John too, but this arrangement and performance makes me want to sing, dance, rejoice at being alive!! (Oh, and he's not bad to look at either! ;-)

i dig this version, but it sounds straight from a Michael Buble album.

Listen to his songs on Oh, My Nola. Thats where he shines, big band jazz and funk. He has some bluesy new orleans roots, and is best with a big band and great music behind him. He said he did this cd just for a more vocal focus, but thats not really who he is.

For real?!?!?! He's been singing WAY longer than he's been acting. He's awesome.

This song has been covered so many times that - I think - he wanted to come up with somethiong different. I do agree with you that this up tempo style hurts the beauty of the lyrics a little bit. My favorite version is the original recorded by Elton John. My second favorite is the one performed by Al Jearreau in a "jazzy" kind of way.
