At Last

#1 Post by djstarr » Fri Jan 23, 2009 4:10 pm

so it's very refreshing to have a President who shares my musical taste. Anyone been hearing "At Last" a lot this week? My local jazz radio is coming up with lots of interesting renditions to play.

What is your favorite version? [and moderators, if you feel this isn't "Swing Music" feel free to move to a more appropriate topic :D ]

It's funny that you bring that song up - I've been listening quite a lot to Charlie Spivak's version from 1942 the last couple of weeks (not knowing anything about the song's popularity in the US). I love the chord changes in that song. Previously, I only knew of Etta James's version from 1960. The Jazz Discography lists 101 recordings of songs with the title "At Last".
