Details

Description

Barry Manilow performs the classic "You Make Me Feel So Young", famously recorded by Frank Sinatra in 1956 and covered on Barry Manilow's 1998 release, "Manilow Sings Sinatra"


Hi Everyone,

This video is very special to me.

Clive and I decided to do a CD in tribute to the great Frank Sinatra. He had passed the year before. Who didn’t love his talent?

For me, not only was it his unique style of singing that I admired, but it was his arrangers that I learned from: Don Costa, Nelson Riddle, Neil Hefti, etc. I was in awe of their arranging styles.

So when I began doing the arrangements for this album, I tried to pay tribute to their styles of arranging.

When we recorded the album, Phil Ramone, my co-producer, hired the best musicians in L.A. Some of them actually played with Sinatra.

The great orchestrator/arrangers Patrick Williams. Johnny Mandel (who worked with Sinatra for years) and Doug Besterman did the session and I tell you, it was an incredible experience for me to sing live, with their charts being played by a 56 piece swinging orchestra.

When we decided to debut the album for one-night-only in the intimate Supper Club in New York, I couldn’t wait. Only I came down with bronchitis the day before!

Bolstered with medicine and shots by the best ear, nose and throat specialists in New York, I actually got through the show.

But my illness didn’t stop me from having one of the times of my life.

Hope you all enjoy this rare video.
-Barry

LYRICS
You make me feel so young
You make me feel so spring has sprung
And every time I see you grin
I'm such a happy individual

The moment that you speak
I wanna go play hide-and-seek
I wanna go and bounce the moon
Just like a toy balloon

You and I are just like a couple of tots
Running across the meadow
Picking up lots of forget-me-nots

You make me feel so young
You make me feel there are songs to be sung
Bells to be rung
And a wonderful fling to be flung

And even when I'm old and gray
I'm gonna feel the way I do today
'Cause you make me feel so young

You make me feel so young
You make me feel so spring has sprung
And every time I see you grin
I'm such a happy individual
The moment that you speak
I wanna go play hide-and-seek
I wanna go and bounce the moon
Just like a toy balloon

You and I are just like a couple of tots
Running across the meadow
Picking up lots of forget-me-nots

You make me feel so young
You make me feel there are songs to be sung
Bells to be rung
Wonderful fling to be flung

And even when I'm old and gray
I'm gonna feel the way I do today
'Cause you, you make me feel so young
You make me feel so young
You make me feel so young
Ooh, you make me feel so young
