In The Heart Of The Night -- Poco

In the heart of the night
In the cool southern rain
There's a full moon in sight
Shinin' down on the Pontchartrain
And the river she rises
Just like she used to do
She's so full of surprises
She reminds me of you

In the heart of the night
In the heart of the night
In the heart of the night
Oh, down in New Orleans

There's a night bird singing
Right on through till the dawn
And the streets are still ringing
With people carrying on
It's been so long waiting
Just to be here again
Anticipating
All the time I could spend

In the heart of the night
In the heart of the night
In the heart of the night
Oh, down in New Orleans

And I trust in your love
Never fallin' down
And I trust in your love
Just like I do in this town
Oh, never fallin' down
Oh, never fallin' down

In the heart of the night
In the cool fallin' rain
There's a full moon in sight
Shinin' down on the Pontchartrain
And the river she rises
Just like she used to do
She's so full of surprises (oh mama)
She reminds me of you (right here)

In the heart of the night
In the heart of the night
In the heart of the night
Oh, down in New Orleans

And I'm so glad to be back in New Orleans
Please don't wake me, don't shake me
If it's only, if it's only just a dream
Cause it's the only place that I can face
It makes me feel so right
Below that Dixie moon and lovin' you
In the heart of the night

[COLOR="Teal"]For those gals waiting for their guys - whether they're in the service, or just states away, this song's for you. Mayby a little 'old-fashioned' for modern ears, but the lyrics are still great! Give a listen, put all your 'modern' prejudices away.COLOR]

1950's, or 2010, Anita's voice and style is immortal!! She's as fresh today as she was then!! Thank God for you Anita!!

Julie London, married to Jack Webb of 'Dragnet' fame. They eventually divorced, I think. But Miss London was an exceptional singer appreciated in her day, but little known today. I think her claim to fame is her sultry and original rendition of: 'Cry Me A River'.

My stomach growling after posting in the "I'm Craving Junk Food" Thread...

Only 'cause I caught this on TCM
the other night, and wanted to share. God! Has it really been 49 years since this film previewed??? It's gastly just to think about it!!

Of course loveEtta James - she's an icon!

Here to add to the list...my small token.

I love Anita O'Day; Gene Krupa's singer.

Biggest recordings:

Drum Boogie
Let Me off Uptown
I'm Not Lonely (is a great song. pure swank)
Bolero at the Savoy (good jitterbug with a screamin' trumpet)

She also recorded a vocal version of Opus One. I listen to it on a compilation quite a bit.

good stuff

James Yuill -- No Surprise

Not a big fan of Patti, but a big fan of *your* music! Bring it on, Big Boy!! :)

Not a big name here in the States, but a big singing star in 1960's Britain. I love her style and her angelic voice - it is like no other. Too sad she was wrenched from us so soon - she died in her 30's...

This version is awesome!

[B]OK, I'm done with the 'pussy footing' around. Time to bring out the 'big guns'...SALSA. baby!! And here's one of the best!! Come on, get your groove on!!!
