"I used to visit all the very gay places
Those come what may places
Where one relaxes on the axis of the wheel of life
To get the feel of life...
From jazz and cocktails."
Billy Strayhorn "Lush Life", 1949
I have the Queen Latifah and the Ella Fitzgerald versions of this song but I'll listen to just about anyone's version. A little scat never hurt anyone! Everyone's done a remake of this song so check em' all out from John Coultrane and Johnny Hartman to Sarah Vaughn. What's not to love?
