More about this title

Why we love this

This is a standard that rewards singers who can nail both the melodic line and the harmonic sophistication underneath it. The piano/vocal/chords format gives you flexibility to accompany a vocalist in rehearsal or performance, or to let a pianist work through the harmony independently.

What to expect

This standard has the warmth and directness of mid-century popular song, with harmonic language that sits comfortably under the voice. The melody has both shape and intimacy, designed to let a vocalist connect with the lyric while the pianist supports with tasteful voicings.

Who it's for

Pianists and singers working with standards repertoire will find this lead sheet immediately useful for rehearsal and performance. Whether you're preparing for a jazz combo gig, a cabaret evening, or a vocal lesson, the chord symbols give you flexibility in accompaniment style while the vocal line stays clear and singable.

How to get the most out of it

  • Balance the vocal line so it sits naturally above the harmonic movement rather than fighting against it.
  • Use the chord symbols to experiment with voicings that complement your vocalist's style and the room acoustics.
  • Lock the tempo early in rehearsal so both singer and accompanist feel the same harmonic rhythm.

How to use it

Include this in a jazz standards set, a vintage pop concert, or a vocal recital that leans into American songbook repertoire. It pairs naturally with other familiar standards from the same era and gives pianists room to interpret the accompaniment style to match your program's aesthetic.

Skills your students will build

  • reading chord symbols and voice-leading piano voicings
  • coordinating vocal phrasing with piano accompaniment
  • interpreting standards notation and implied musical style
  • adapting jazz and pop accompaniment patterns to lead sheets
