Sarah Vaughan - Thanks For The Memory (Live @ The London House) Mercury Records 1958

I love it because we get to hear "Thanks" in three different ways!!! and the last one is the most beautiful!

I have a tie between the 2nd and 3rd starts.

I love her graceful imperfection. When I first heard this, “I was like - wait- did she just mess up?!?” Yes she did, so beautifully, and the band played on and she brought it home.

I had this on a cassette (!) years ago. I have always loved the way she opens the song, each time getting more and more elaborate as she works the word "Parthenon". Then the ending "The most craziest recording session I ever had in my life!" LOL Great music, and REAL.

I simply wish to dedicate this particular version of the song, as sung by a tipsy Sarah Vaughan ("as high as a steeple"), to my dear departed friend, Clarissa Woods, may God rest her beautiful soul...

Thanks for the memory Of candlelight and wine, castles on the Rhine The Parthenon and moments on the Hudson River Line How lovely it was! Thanks for the memory Of rainy afternoons, swingy Harlem tunes And motor trips and burning lips and burning toast and prunes How lovely it was! Many's the time that we feasted And many's the time that we fasted Oh, well, it was swell while it lasted We did have fun and no harm done And thanks for the memory Of sunburns at the shore, nights in Singapore You might have been a headache but you never were a bore So thank you so much. Thanks for the memory Of sentimental verse, nothing in my purse And chuckles when the preacher said "For better or for worse" How lovely it was Thanks for the memory Of lingerie with lace, Pilsner by the case And how I jumped the day you trumped my one and only ace How lovely it was! We said goodbye with a highball Then I got as "high" as a steeple But we were intelligent people No tears, no fuss, Hooray! For us So, thanks for the memory And strictly entre-nous, darling how are you? And how are all the little dreams that never did come true? Awfully glad I met you, cheerio, and toodle And thank you so much
