Description
"Black Coffee" is a song with music by Sonny Burke and words by Paul Francis Webster. The song was published in 1948.
Sarah Vaughan charted with this song in 1949 on Columbia; arranged by Joe Lipman, it is considered one of the most notable versions.
Peggy Lee recorded the song on May 4, 1953, and it was included on her first LP record Black Coffee.
It was included in the soundtrack for the 1960 Columbia Pictures feature Let No Man Write My Epitaph, recorded on Verve by Ella Fitzgerald, also in 1960. The version by Ella Fitzgerald was a favourite song of Polish Nobel Prize laureate Wisława Szymborska who chose it as the song to be performed at her funeral.[3]
