He was absolutely gorgeous then and still is now. Not to mention his voice, music is simply amazing!

[@michaelglynn2760]

Been listening to the album The Art of Tea for forty years. Love it still.

[@simonrangel4395]

Do you know any album similar to the art of tea?

[@zenveg]

Fan for 40 years and born yesterday with this clip.

[@karenreardon5398]

This song is gold❤😊. Love Michael Franks.❤❤❤❤. How 'bout that orchestra!! Fabulous

[@studiocivero5285]

All my whole life was accompanied by M Franks's songs...and i still love him...

[@Adam_Mokanszki]

This guy is a genius! :)

[@SteffiHe-su2ji]

WOW THX Michael Franks Voice is so Nice ❤

[@bruceabas]

Great to see this singular performance of this classic MF tune close to the time it was released. The original certainly swings more then this tepid big band version but it’s great to see him get the royal treatment on the TV screen -thanks for posting

[@butterflylovenj7300]

I have loved his voice since I was a child. It's so soothing. ❤

[@ItsMelinaMarie]

I just love this song

[@christophertan488]

MF songs is so soothing to the soul❤

[@raysherlock6023]

Con tus 70 y pocos eres lo más I LOVE you❤

[@alexanderwes5204]

Thanks for the upload, Tim! Have been a huge fan of MF since the seventies. Never knew of this recording on Dutch television.

[@tbee1575]

Simply love Michael Franks!

[@joanneramsey7723]

Me too, not one song I dont like!

[@thierrykiss2814]

Magnifique avec cet orchestre philarmonique qui l'accompagne.

[@brucebernardini4107]

Brings back wonderful memories........

[@joanneramsey7723]

Im literally making eggplant as I listen to this.

[@buaya777]

Alhamdulillah...thanks to you for posting this MF video, keep posting sir....may Allah bless you, amiiin

[@rakhmatsoleh]

Alhamdulillah. Terima kasih sudah mengunggah video ini. Michael Franks penyanyi jazz terbaik.

[@Papermac]

Many thanks for uploading this fabulous rendition. (Such a shame that Michael Franks only performed sporadically in Europe.)

[@hibob418]

Great chart with the full band behind him. Nice wind and string parts. Thanks for posting.

[@cperezel8294]

Happy birthday Michael franks

[@legone921]

Thank you Tim,great version

[@johnrobinson4281]

I'll always love this song but never had any eggplant real talk lol

[@Wealthhealth-h5f]

"Maybe it's the way she grates her cheese or just the freckles on her knees maybe it's the scallions; maybe she's Italian." Franks is simply the best, genius songwriter🤗

[@Ampersand00]

Mr. Franks did an interview with Gilles Peterson not too long ago, he's still in fine form and didn't rule out a first UK tour 🙏

[@simonrangel4395]

Incredible. Do you know any album similar to the art of tea?

[@bjornnordstrom]

Sometimes his timing (vocals) is a little off. Only on live performances, never on albums. I guess that makes it more musically interesting!? Miles Davis talked about how Frank Sinatra’s phrasing/ timing/ rhythm had inspired him when to be on time, and more important, when and how to be off for fractions of a second.

[@carolpomper4688]

Wonderful!

[@hongdekong]

Amazing. As a dutch citizen, this makes me pretty proud :)

[@kenmoseanko8728]

Darn ! Sorry i was commenting on the previous song by Maria Muldaur and it switched on me... No complaints about the great Michael Franks !

[@karenholtzclaw3135]

Cute❤

[@mlkbath]

come onnnnnnnn....... there's more!!!!!!

[@timjazznlterbals6629]

Michael did only 2 songs in this program

[@mlkbath]

@@timjazznlterbals6629 by any chance you know of his interview/performance on Ramesey Lewis "Legends of JAzz"?

[@agusperianto3491]

Rancak Bana.. legend.. 👍👍👍

[@shakiellaachee7829]

😂🥰✨ I love him

[@runforrestrun6103]

"Maybe it's the scallions. Maybe she's Italian."

[@Devsfunhouse]

Anyone know the date/title of this show? Or have a link for the full show?

[@albertmonteros9919]

Classic Michael Franks but I can see and hear Jason Mraz here :)

[@H_NNY]

I thought i was the only one lol

[@trademark1874]

Great song, just discovered Mr. Franks recently, but i prefer the studio version with Joe Sample on fender rhodes ;)

[@romcallis]

Not Michaels usual backup but it sounds great

[@gwynenglishnielsen8596]

My ex-husband's nickname was Eggplant. And no, Franks did not write this tune for him. LOL!

[@johnrobinson4281]

Egg plant is her game love it but never eaten any eggs plant real talk

[@RenatoSifuentes]

Perfect English like Sinatra...

[@danodonnell7218]

Frank Sinatra has nothing on mr. Frank's!❤️

[@batuksri]

Sometimes I have it raw … with mayonnaise.

[@nikitaw1982]

Geokinda

[@zenveg]

@@nikitaw1982 La Gioconda is the Italian name for Mona Lisa, which MF refers to in more than one song.

[@healingypsy]

Is he singing about cooking eggplant or sex ?

[@Andy-fh4gp]

Both

[@healingypsy]

@@Andy-fh4gp 🙂

[@angmering5899]

NEVER have sex raw with mayonnaise

[@brucebernardini4107]

Moon shaped sandwiches....

[@romcallis]

giaconda=Italian for Mona Lisa

[@rorysuire6177]

Why does it seems to me this guy may have influenced Buble a tad bit?

[@nikitaw1982]

Geokinda

[@kenmoseanko8728]

Other than her cute little bouncey moves, I do not care for this version of the song. I don't like the shrill type way she sings it and the big difference in the cadence. Totally changes what made this such a good song. That's the trouble with live versions at times when they alter the songs so much 😢
