“Watch What Happens“ by Peggy Lee
They just don’t get any sexier or sultrier than Peggy Lee‘s version of “Watch What Happens”. This classic Michel Legrand tune was originally penned for the 1964 film “The Umbrellas of Cherbourg,” starring fellow cool blonde goddess Catherine Deneuve, and was later given English lyrics by Norman Gimbel (lyricist for “Sway”,” “Summer Samba,” “The Girl from Ipanema,” “Killing Me Softly With His Song,” “Meditation” and “I Will Wait for You”). Lee’s 1966 recording appears on her album “Big Spender” and was featured on Monica‘s August 14th show on WFMU. Available for purchase via iTunes and Amazon.

“By The Beautiful Sea”
by
George Wright
|
Break out the Dramamine! There’s nothing like the Mighty Wurlitzer to lend a woozy, wobbly, and wonderful feel to just about any song. That includes legendary theater organist George Wright‘s vampy version of “By The Beautiful Sea”. Organ maestro Wright is reputed to have been the greatest technician of the pipe organ and easily the most-recorded pop organist of all time. He was renowned among theater organists for his pyrotechnic virtuosity and perfectionism. Starting as organist at the Fox Theatre in San Francisco in the ’40s, he moved on to the Paramount in Times Square, and then to L.A. in 1950 as the studio organist for the venerable soap opera “General Hospital.” During the late ’50s and early ’60s, Wright played countless concerts and enjoyed a prolific recording career. A lifelong bachelor, Wright bought a house in the Hollywood Hills less for its location than its capacity to accommodate his massive organ. “By The Beautiful Sea” was featured on Monica’s June 19th show on WFMU and is available on “The Very Best Of George Wright” on iTunes and Amazon. |
