But Not For Me by Jo Stafford with the Art Van Damme Quintet

Recorded September 30, 1956 released in 1957. Columbia CL 968

B side of A Foggy Day

Jo Elizabeth Stafford (November 12, 1917 July 16, 2008) was an American singer of traditional pop music and jazz standards whose career spanned the late 1930s through the early 1960s. Stafford was greatly admired for the purity of her voice and was considered one of the most versatile vocalists of the era.

Married Band Leader Paul Weston in 1952

In 1966, Stafford went into semi-retirement, retiring completely from the music business in 1975. Except for the 1977 Jonathan and Darlene Edwards version of "Stayin' Alive," Stafford wouldn't perform again until 1990, at a ceremony honoring Frank Sinatra.

Stafford won a breach-of-contract lawsuit against her former record label in the early 1990s, which won her the rights to all of her old recordings, including the Jonathan and Darlene recordings. Following the lawsuit, Stafford, along with son Tim, reactivated the Corinthian Record label which began life as a religious label the deeply religious Paul Weston had started. With Paul Weston's help, she compiled a pair of Best of Jonathan and Darlene albums, which were released in 1993. In 1996, Paul Weston died of natural causes. Stafford continued to operate Corinthian Records. In 2006, she donated her library and her husband's to the University of Arizona.

She died in Century City, California of congestive heart failure on July 16, 2008 at the age of 90.

Wonderful version ... then again, Jo's voice always delivers. Some take issue with the band .... but Jo is comfortable in this setting. Art Van Damme was a top notch jazz accordionist with a large band following (in the mid fifties.)

I agree this arrangement is a little too jazzy and bouncy. But, still Jo Stafford was a fabulous singer.

I prefer Judy Garland's version. This is a little too happy & uptempo.

There is nothing quite like the female human voice as in the person of Ms. Stafford. I find myself falling in love with all of the women that ever there were. And I do it over, and over, and over again.

Jo Stafford was a a very fine singer. Don't know all of her songs, but of those I've heard I like her recording of Burke/Van Heusen's "It Could Happen to You" the most.

Yes, Eileen Farrell's version is excellent. And why not? She might have been the greatest ALL-AROUND female singer ever. But her rendition of this Gershwin number WASN'T operatic. See, here's the thing, ROGHARM: Farrell was a great all-around singer because she understood the DIFFERENCE between pop/jazz and opera and sang accordingly.

Listen to Eileen Farrell sing this fabulous song with giant orchestra and solo piano on youtube, real class!!!!! ROGHARM. Eileen/Orch are great could not be any better. This is not too bad but not like the operatic concert Eileen version. Try it and hear the difference!!!! Emails welcomed.

She is immortal. Her renditions of the standards eviscerate all others. When she takes one up, the plastic wrap comes off and they take on a depth of feeling absent in voices less rich and subtle.

thanks so much for this wonderful video of Jo! Love her version of the song, she's one of our biggest inspirations! we're a jazz trio who sing in close harmony, and although we're only all seventeen, we really want to spread recognition for lovely music like this :) we'd be so grateful if you could have a look at our cover of this song, and maybe even subscribe if you have the time! thank you so much for all your amazing videos! Lots of love, The Rosettes xxxx

Yeah, Frank's image was coarse and offensive to me then too. And he seemed to pride himself on it.

@HOUNDDAWG This is from the album 'Once Over Lightly'. I have been looking for a CD of it for years but I only have a scratchy second hand vinyl, from the US, courtesy of Amazon. There is no producer credit on the sleeve or the disc.
