Evening!     Hope everyone is having a great week so far.  Kaiya has been sick the past few days, so it hasn't been fun around my house.  Still waiting on Baby #2 (Avery) to make her arrival.......anytime now.....

Here's my Grammy song:

Don't Know Why

[Jacquie Jeanne]

 Hi there, Janet and Bruce!  Looks like I'm gonna need to do some research on this one!
Sounds like a great challenge tho...
Had great fun llast week with Walt and Bella and the wonderful people here! EAW rules!

[JeninOz]

Hey Bruce! making me think here before coffee ...  

Here's one some of you might have heard ...if so feel free to bypass it

Willie Nelson ...Always on my Mind
http://www.singsnap.com/snap/r/c0a38ff7

This was released 1982 & won him 3 Grammys ...pretty good eh wot?

This one has the addition of a beautiful saxophone accompaniment courtesy of the talented MLP

[FrankCNY]

1959    Domenico Modugno for "Nel Blu Dipinto Di Blu (Volare)"* performed by Domenico Modugno

I know I know, I sang Volare in the last challenge, but this is the original version in Italian as the original artist sang it

Nel Blue Dipinto Di Blu (Volare) - Domenico Modugno

[CerebralJam]

I have to slip away for a little while, but will be back soon.  Looks a great theme, Bruce.  Have fun everyone, ooo and good luck Rachel!!!

[ColonelMac]

I wanted to do "I Write the Songs", which was Grammy Song of the Year for Barry Manilow in 1977.  But, the SS renditions are in the wrong key and, since I'm Blue, I can' transpose.  The MIDI backings on RK are not very good.

So, since we are also allowed songs by Grammy winning artists, here's another one by Manilow.

I guess the title of this song pretty well fits me.


The Old Songs

[grammatea4u]

hi everyone..

Here is one from me ...It is an Italian song that has been recorded by various grammy award winners such as Connie Francis and Jerry Vale

Al Di La
Italian Love Song
http://www.singsnap.com/snap/r/c3c44905

Now if I could only speak Italian

[RGee58]

Here is one I did a few days ago and was the winner for 1999

1999 Winer - James Horner & Will Jennings for "My Heart Will Go On"* performed by Celine Dion

My Heart Will Go On - "Titanic"
http://www.singsnap.com/snap/watchAndListen/play/bdce8ded

[ColonelMac]

As my second song, I want to share this one that I just finished the backing for the other day.  In my opinion, it's one of the most beautiful love songs ever.

Among other artist who recorded it, it was done by Frank Sinatra, who won Grammy Awards in 1959, 1961, 1962, 1966, 1967, 1968, 1970, 1979, 1981, 1987, 1995, 1996, 1997, and 2001.

This one was published in 1943.  The music is by Harry Warren

with lyrics by Mack Gordon


You'll Never Know

[Sandysongbird]

I think this one will fit.  It looks like the song was nominated for best country collaboration with vocals, and Kelly has won Grammy awards, so...

Because Of You...Duet Version

I sang this with my cyber-twin, because I couldn't get anyone (not even my real sister) to sing it with me.  But if anyone happens to feel the urge to sing along, there is an open duet version on my pages over yonder at SingSnap.

But, Frankie never sang the verse.
