Hello Tony. I am a high school classmate of your mother. I first heard your quarantine diaries on Facebook and continue daily on KZbin. I love your voice and piano playing. It makes me envious, because I neither sing nor play any instrument. Please continue daily entertaining.

[@vjemilio1]

This rendition is shown the respect for the lyrics it deserves. Glad to know Frank S would have gladly passed the baton to Tony D. Frank lives on!

[@ReyPalustre]

Just checked your music out accidentally while searching for something else. OMG!! You are incredible!!!

[@TonyDeSareMusic]

Rey Palustre That's what I love about KZbin. Welcome and so glad you found me!

[@joaopauloboladodamata17]

Same here! My opinion is the same!!!

[@TheSentinel64]

Although Michael McDonald's sublime slow burn torch song rendition is my favorite take on this song your version is by far the best of the more jangly upbeat versions including Ray Charles and Patsy Cline. Your piano technique.....chef's kiss! And that diving run at the end? Holy Cow! Makes me want to take up piano again. Excellently performed!!

[@souldiegirl]

You sing this wonderful, poignant song so beautifully. ❤

[@donfarrar530]

one of the saddest songs ever written. very nicely sung and excellently played

[@tocolormemucsic44]

If I May ....Very Nicely Done.

[@steveknows62]

Hey Tony, thanks for keeping this great music alive. Without singers like you it might just fade away. And that would be a tragedy.

[@mariapsputo2249]

BEAUTIFUL SO SOULFUL MAKES ME THINK OF A FEW YEARS AGO . BRAVO

[@charlesbarry971]

Great 😊😊😊 pianist/vocalist.

[@ceeaitchjay]

Thanks Tony....another superb performance. Such a beautiful jazz voice a delightful piano player.

[@loissandler3807]

This is up there with a religious experience.

[@MexieBileman]

Jeahhhh very good feeling❤❤❤

[@Heymjo]

I think one of the things I love best about you as a performer (and there are many, many things I love about you as a performer) is your ability to so masterfully slide among the different musical genres out there. It is always so natural, so accomplished and so heart-felt, as if you grew up only in that genre. I love all of your renditions of the standards, but as a performer, you have opened me up to new takes on music that I let pass me by over the years. "You Don't Know Me" is certainly one of those songs I have heard, but never REALLY heard until now. Thank you, Tony!

[@finephoto]

I would guess that almost all of us watching and listening to these daily interpretations of the "Great American Song Book" plus a few more recent songs feel the same way as expressed by "Heymjo" in the above posting. I myself am old enough to have experienced the original interpretations of these songs. I find almost every rendition by Tony is fresh, respectful, and sometimes a completely new interpretation, often bringing a smile to my face and in a few rare moments, a tear to an eye. It is just one of those .....

[@waynedunn4961]

I still say your version is the definitive one for this song. Every vocal inflection and word perfectly tell the story.

[@TonyDeSareMusic]

Thank you, Wayne!

[@oliviaedralin1436]

Yes.,,, this is music!

[@tarynstevens2045]

This is way to underrated I could listen to your voice all day

[@barbaralgreen]

I agree! We first heard Tony Desare years ago in Philadelphia at Zanzibar Blue during Restaurant Week. I had no idea he would be there and wasn’t familiar with him. But since that night I have been a fan. I think he is more talented than Michael Bible and deserves to be recognized for the star he is!

[@lindab2158]

Simply lovely.

[@charlesbarry971]

Brilliant cover.

[@kettymartire7660]

Non ho mai sentito suonare e cantare con tanto sentimento ❤❤❤

[@caliman62]

Beautifully played and sung.

[@jeanallen5186]

I’m supposed to be getting some paperwork done but I started playing your songs and I’m glued to my seat as I move along but that’s all right I feel joyful in the evening ends

[@cdf964]

WOW! Awesome! !!! Beautiful piano playing and style! Great job!

[@wooddorcas]

Beautifully performed Tony, thanks so much.

[@cwise7]

Wonderfully done sir👏🏾

[@lordramoth3416]

Oooh yeah this is so cool my iPhone keeps freezing 😎

[@okiepita50t-town28]

I love that song and you did a really nice rendition of it.

[@Gukkor]

One of my favorite songs, so anyone who can produce even a passable version of this song is okay in my book. This is, of course, much, much better than passable.

[@rogerskimberlyg444]

Very nice....Ray Charles sang this song to. I wondered where I had heard the song before? It took me a bit to figure it out.

[@TonyDeSareMusic]

Thanks Kimberly!

[@stevenkgold2084]

Just discovered you. Never liked this song before, but you made me a convert. Great vocal and piano performance.

[@lucettealdeguer4674]

Oh God, what a beautiful song , beautiful voice 👏👏👏❤️

[@lorrainewood6964]

Just recently since I've had the Privilege of being Connected to you and Your Music 🎶 and I am captivated! Your Talents and Artistic Genius has put me in a trance! Your Passion and Love (Gifts) have given me the ability to soar through a realm of musical ecstasy! No one has ever done that for me as an adult(not that I can recall)! I am a lover of the Arts and being 63 now My First Love of Music was the oldies. My taste for Music 🎶 has become more refined and you are at the top of my list! I want to sincerely wish you and your family the most wonderful holiday season with many blessings and much love! I look forward to your videos and hopefully will aquire a turntable, so that I may enjoy the vinyls or whatever music that I may collect of yours in the near future. Thank you so much for sharing your Beautiful Magnificent Gifts! My Heart is full of your Magic 👑‼️!

[@MexieBileman]

Mein Feeling Piano

[@josephkwalker]

Really nice performance. Nice to see raw talent, when it's met with so much skill!

[@maryhernandez7282]

It's a pleasure to hear your beautiful voice gives me, so much feeling, 😍😍 greetings from Mexico

[@johnbagenda2571]

Beautiful voice Tony

[@maureenrebello5373]

Awesome voice

[@BillyAlabama]

I am so glad I found you....listening to different versions of In The Wee Small Hours...listening through different artists, then you sang. I listened to it five time. Your subtleties, your strengths, vulnerabilities....and I have been going through your playlist, you are quite incredible....like lagniappe, when you get something extra without expecting it....a delight! Lagniappe in spades!

[@FfoxXJakyxX]

You are a very talented human being . I am quite inspired by your playing . All the best !

[@carolegriggs3107]

Fabulous

[@randallriley]

Classy, blue, and sentimental. Perfect!

[@ketevanbabukhadia4346]

😇So nice to listen to you, thanks ❤️

[@joytracey1653]

wow i have never heard this guy sing love him will be trying to find where his music is sold xx

[@michaelgeneva2074]

Hi Tony. I love your interpretation of YOU DON"T KNOW ME! You bring a smooth and hip sophistication to classic songs!!

[@sharonmcn]

Nice touch on the keyboard

[@ltkaiser1]

Hi Tony - just been watching your videos - this is one of my favorites. I am a friend of your cousin "T" and he told me all about you - he was so proud. I'm so sorry for your loss. Your work is incredible.

[@syncopeter]

Hi Tony. this song was the flip side of Ray's I Can't Stop Loving You and I've loved it ever since I first heard it when I found it in the mid 80s at a garage sale for only 10 cents. I bought a whole box of NOS 45 for only 10 guilders ($3,50 in todays money), all in mint unplayed condition. I love your channel, and I watch every upload you've made. Your video showing your newborn child actually made me cry.

[@TonyDeSareMusic]

Hi Peter, thanks so much for the message. I miss "B sides". Thanks for watching and I'll keep trying hard for you!

[@syncopeter]

Tony, you e more than welcome. B sides are often the most interesting musically imho. By the way I loved that little clip were you showed your newborn child. It reminded me of Stevie Wonder's 'Isnt she lovely'. My own kids are 29 and 27 now, but I still cherish the feeling of them sleeping on my bare stomach. I was so jealous of my wife feeling them move inside her body and this was the closest I could get to them. I do love what you're doing musically. You're a great pianist and have a voice that matches that of Peter Cincotti et al.

[@PacmanB17H25]

This. Is. Fantastic! Classic sound. Perfection on the keys

[@candelalopez7804]

Hoy Tony I love your style and performance. Found you recently Salutations from Spain...

[@frankiecairns]

One of my favorite songs, done to perfection. Great stuff Tony.

[@maureenrebello5373]

[@izbadd1102]

[@prettiasapic]

I just stumbled across this channel, and I ADORE this song. :) Amazing!

[@olgakirichenko2387]

IN LOVE

[@rader304]

Love your style:))

[@Nughtsfire75]

Loved the video. Such a beautiful song. My question would be: what has been your biggest inspiration throughout your musical career?

[@TonyDeSareMusic]

Well, Gershwin made me want to play piano and hearing Sinatra made me want to sing.

[@ed44libero]

But this song is "a la Ray Charles " .....

[@pauldance7387]

Tony DeSare Jack Jones ?

[@manifoldgrapes124]

My mom played all of these greats from the time I was a baby. I sing and play as well, and someone once remarked that I have great phrasing. This I owe to years and years of listening to Sinatra. But, Tony, you nail everything you do. Thanks for the blessing!

[@wildolan]

Hi, found this by searching New Order covers, excellent stuff!! Played both versions of Bizarre Love Triangle for my daughter (17), she way prefers yours, high praise indeed!! cheers Will

[@Cats_Bread]

sooo good

[@javiermendoza1423]

[@annef8092]

[@rader304]

Getting to know you Tony:))

[@pierceorama2893]

Have you ever recorded In A Sentimental Mood? Could you please? :) I love all of your music, but this one (You Don't Know Me) is one of my very favorites. Love your voice and and your piano hands.

[@TonyDeSareMusic]

pierceorama I love Sentimental Mood. I'm sure I'll get to it eventually.

[@pierceorama2893]

Tony DeSare Yaaay!

[@judomoose00]

I love it! Could you do a rendition of Misty please?

[@davidturla7257]

Bong ❤ Arnie

[@7ettebette]

Wonderful, Tony, as always! You asked for questions, so I'm trying to think of one that is truly thought-provoking. Hmm...is it really better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all? My heart doesn't have a definitive answer. I guess it's bittersweet. What do you think? Love, Ellen

[@TonyDeSareMusic]

Thanks Ellen. Great question...deep. I'll have to ponder that one.

[@7ettebette]

Tony DeSare I will eagerly await your thoughts on this! Thanks! Stay warm and well, Tony! Hugs and kisses to you, Daisy, and of course, baby Chris! :)

[@hfvlachosful]

+Ellen Romanoff one answer might be, look at yourself at the end of ur life.. what d u think you would have wished you had done?

[@steveknows62]

@@hfvlachosful At that point, it really doesn't matter. IF it's really at the end and not just at an advanced age with time to do more things.

[@patricialeece5847]

What made you begin playing piano? I could listen to Begin the Beguine all the time. I hope it makes it on to the next Diaries album! Your voice is smooth and the piano playing awesome! Waiting for tomorrow's Christmas Party!

[@sallysigler727]

Where do I sign up for whatever he’s selling? Seriously, Tony, do you give lessons?

[@TonyDeSareMusic]

Ha ha, thanks Sally. I never really have given lessons. Maybe someday.

[@MexieBileman]

So einmann wil ich

[@MexieBileman]

Unnd denn krig ich😊

[@vtrita]

[@williampianist]

Hi Tony, I just watched your intro video and I would like to ask a question about improvisation. I was a classical pianist and now I am learning jazz piano, could you give me some advice how should I improve the improvisational skill? Many thanks. Zuo.

[@nikitacht4895]

This is such a great rendition, I absolutely love it! Tony please tell me do you happen to have the sheet music for this or has it all been a big improvisation?

[@TonyDeSareMusic]

No sheet music, unfortunately. Just sat down and played the song. Never do it the same way twice!

[@nikitacht4895]

Then it's even more awesome!! Any chance of you giving a concert in Europe one of these days?

[@izbadd1102]

First of all, this is tremendous! I have to ask though. Was the piano solo improvised during this recording?

[@BluesPiano100]

Yeah I'd like to know that too

[@shalamusic]

sounds live to me

[@ed44libero]

Difficult to give a fine rendition after Ray Charles .......but Tony did it.

[@designerwench]

Sinatra incarnate. for reals

[@kenweedon1620]

So much better than buble. I hope he is not listening. Ken weedon

[@ygung]

[@MexieBileman]

Dann schreib ich ihmfom kompnuter

[@MexieBileman]

[@andersna75]

[@ingridburnside5505]

Yep I don’t
