Reviews
Displaying all reviews (3)This is a 9-page arrangement of the song, with a near 3 page piano solo in the middle. The piano arrangement in general is slightly more complex than many of the pop tune arrangements, and the solo, still intermediate, but more difficult.

This Barry Manilow tune with a Johnny Mercer lyric was best covered, in my opinion, by Nancy LaMott. Thats the version, in a medley with Autumn Leaves, that made me fall in love with this song. Not as hard to play as I expected and oh so worth trying.

In a rare pairing, Barry Manilow and lyricist supreme Johnny Mercer have created an amazing piece of music that provides vocalists and pianists a chance to shine together and create a magical musical moment. I was surprised by the complexity of Manilows music, having disregarded most of his output as pop pulp. The melody line is a bit tricky in parts and theres a significant key change half way through. I didnt take the time to read through the entire song before printing; had I done so, I would have stayed with the original key which has a slightly easier key change. As always, Mercer finds a way to bring a poignant voice to the most complex of emotions. This is lounge music at its best.
