Erroll Garner on the keys |
This song is such a classic that it would be easy to dismiss it, much the same way you could dismiss the Dave Brubeck Quartet's 'Take Five'. Dismiss 'Misty' at your peril! Some things are popular for a reason. It didn't hurt the legendary status of the song that Clint Eastwood made a movie called 'Play Misty For Me.'
Have a listen (and take a look) to a live version. He really did have a sound of his own. Perfect music for a blustery spring day.
Because you know how much I love to share music with you, let's listen to the incomparable Johnny Smith's version. We need to discuss Mr. Smith some time soon!
