candiedroses 408 Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 To me, it seems like that Tony & Gaga’s version of Love For Sale is loosely based off of Miles Davis’ instrumental version of the song. All of the other versions, like Ella Fitzgerald’s, are much slower. I just find it really cool that Gaga & Tony chose to do this version rather than the slower one, typically used in vocal covers of the song. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JazzGa 14,528 Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 That's really interesting, thank you for sharing! Whatta bop That's one of my favorite things about jazz music-- musicias aren't as egotistical about sharing songs, phrases, melodies, unlike in today's pop music climate where nobodies try to sue successful artists over chord progressions and 2 note loops Like imagine if singers still weren't shy about multiple people putting out versions of the same great song, and several of our faves covered iconic songs like The Joke, I'll Never Love Again, Young and Beautiful, etc. That would be a great alternate reality I've taken a few dips in the lady pond Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
