Agreed best song and amazingly sung here by Veronica Swift

[@mistery-ed7900]

The best song from The King And I. Nice!

[@tonymorga7720]

Like I said she is not singing their is a great jazz spirt that comes in and out of her ,She is the singer of our time

[@MarkBlackburnWPG]

So well put. She is "the singer of our time." Her own person. If she has 'influences' I can't hear them! A breath of fresh air, when we needed it most.

[@paulrandall7986]

Could listen to you all day ...

[@kofthebaskervilles]

Every time i hear Veronica sing i'm more impressed.

[@rainbo2987]

[@charsibaba6960]

Killing it , Bravo !

[@efanshel]

If she doesn't have a bright future, I don't know who does....

[@alejandrosierra9077]

What a beautiful song! She reminds me of Anita O'Day.

[@cityzen2717]

A little Dinah Washington, perhaps? Love me some Dinah and Nina plus Ella and the rest.

[@jazzbirdbecky]

Much better than O’Day

VERONICA SWIFT - Getting to Know You "Are you still learning?” I told a favorite artist at Bermuda Daydreamin' that, “It's a question I've been asking older people all my life.” My friend responded: “To cease to learn is to die!” And “In every single field of endeavor,” I said, “the 'masters' agree and every one of them says, Oh yes! - “I'm still learning, every day!” They'll warm to the question, with personal anecdotes about how 'the teacher is taught by the student.' So. It's midnight and I check Siriusly Sinatra - just in time to hear the opening verse of a song by my favorite composer, Richard Rodgers - GETTING TO KNOW YOU. Words by Oscar Hammerstein: It's a very ancient saying But a true and honest thought That if you become a teacher By your pupils you'll be taught. Raise your hand if you've heard-of “Veronica Swift” - I hadn't, until right now. The 'Great American Songbook' is still in good (young) hands! Thanks for sharing Mack Avenue. Celebrated elsewhere this day (3/9/2024) search " Great Melody, Great Lyric, Great Rendition, Songwriting Workshop, Harmony Central "
