Best version of “Funny Valentine “ eeeeever ❤
The chemistry between those two was magical
She should have won the Oscar, just for this song.
+OLD JD I so agree with you, I definitely don't understand those who award at the Oscars....
The BEST version from I have ever heard!
She won all the awards that year for this movie, but that night she was robbed at the Oscars, she was nominated and the Oscar went to Jessica Tandy 🙄😠
@@mandrake...During that time Oscars were still in habit of giving it as a lifetime achievement award to performers in their twilight years.
Jessica Tandy was around since the 1940's and Michelle didn't stand a chance.
BTW -- I just saw Fabulous Baker Boys again and it still holds up surprisingly well, even the Bridges bros were great, but didn't even get nominated that year.
This was Michelle's best chance for an Oscar.
That "Making Whoopee" scene in that hot red dress.
Whew !
I agree, Michelle should've gotten the Oscar for this movie.
Back in those days Oscars were in the habit of giving it to veteran actors as a "lifetime achievement" award, and in that year it was Jessica Tandy for "Driving Miss Daisy".
While I thought Jessica Tandy was an excellent actress, but Michelle's performance was better that year.
It also didn't hurt Jessica was 80 years-old, so the Academy felt it was now or never in giving her the Oscar.
Hands down, the BEST version I've ever heard. That's no mean feat when you consider how many legendary singers have sung this song---Sinatra, Ella, Garland, Lena, Billie and Streisand to name some. Like many beautiful actresses, Michelle is an underrated talent.
agree. this song was meant to be sung as simply as possible
She was coached every note, every inflection. She did it well but certainly not a great singer. Shows you what you know.
@@eugenesedita it doesn’t matter that she was coached every note etc because she is the one that executed it. I don’t think she is a trained singer but this song here shows that she had tremendous potential to be a fine trained vocalist if she decided to pursue it. I agree that it is one of the best I have ever heard and it’s a difficult song to perform as well. She does it perfectly and it doesn’t matter that she was coached every step along the way. BTW that is what producers do!
Can’t hold a candle to Linda Ronstadt’s version. The movie leaned on the Great American Songbook which is brilliant.
I’ll take Chet Baker’s 1954 version.
ミッシェルファイファーのマイ・ファニー・ヴァレンタインとモアーザンニューノーは最高でした。ミッシェルファイファーには、また歌って欲しいです。何回見たことか🤗
Maybe the most underrated romantic movie of all times, as Michelle is one of the most gorgeous women in movie history.
yes, the cast was brilliant and the chemistry was great. Of course, I love Michelle so I may be biased
Sorry, but The Fabulous Baker Boys is NOT a romantic movie in any stretch of the imagination, Bridges and Pfeiffer are Strangers in the night, passing in the night, what does his brother say" stick to cocktail waitresses little brother" It's my favorite movie of all time, brilliant script and score, great cast and acting, but in no, way shape or form is it romantic, sexy as hell, but not romantic, When Harry Met Sally, Sleepless in Seattle, you get my point
@@vaadaenmacchi qqq
@@cityofchamps66 You don't know what romance is,by a long shot.
@@jamesgorham8170 They danced(fucked) twice? They didn't date, they argued more often than they made out? "i Know trouble, and it starts with the letter S!" Au Revoir, Siskel and Ebert
Maravilhosa interpretação de Michelle. Sao Paulo Brasil
I love Michelle Pfeiffer and the movie as well. Still can't believe she haven't won an oscar
The most perfect rendition of this song, What A sultry, silky, sexy, romantic, everything great rendition of this classic. How wonderful to find out recently that Michelle and Dave grusin won a Grammy for this 30 years ago, how well-deserved and perfect.
Michelle deserves an oscar..She is perfect.She is a GREAT actress,sings like a dream,and looks so charming,you cant look away...
Ms. Pfeiffer sings as well as she looks- and that's a steep hill. This should have taken an Oscar. A great movie.
Excellent. Ms. Pfeiffer nails it perfectly, and the piano playing of Dave Grusin makes a perfect match. Lovely tune.
The definitive Valentine's day song.
How crazy is that NO other version compares to this one, sung by a "non-singer"?!
This is true! Michelle Pfeiffer is so beautiful & she sings so beautifully & sultry in ALL her movies yet she has yet to receive the accolades she DESERVES!! 🎼🎵🎙🎶🎹🎷
this is my favorite version of this song.
mine too Robert.
try Botti's videos of the street scenes in Italy
Try Alice Fredenham - Britain's got talent
Absolutely!
Hands down...
I really like this melody, especially in the style that Michelle Pfeiffer performed.
I'm so tired of plastic enhanced barbies with baby voices. Love the low soprano, mezzo sound of her and her interpretation here. Despite winning the genetic lottery, she resonates reality. An amazing performance in this film in particular. Everyone loves her for a reason.
Still in love with Michelle
God, there's such worlds conveyed in this song, such wistfulness and beauty. Last of the truly great movie stars.
and apart ... she sings like a mermaid. My God, what a wonderful woman you have created
It touched my heart like few songs have, and continues to do so long after the movie came and went.
my all time favorite movie .. one of the best! ❤️
Just found out that this song originated from the Richard Rogers/ Lorenz Hart stage musical BABES IN ARMS from 1937. It has been recorded by over 600 artists!!
If you seen Michelle singing on the piano you would never forget that romantic sexy image ever. A WM
A pretty song sung beautifully by Michelle Pfeiffer. I don't believe there's another singer that did this better than Michelle. But that's just me, I loved the movie. She was incredible.
+Mikes66442 One of my favorite movies too. When she sings More Than You Know in the audition scene, I tear up. Too bad that song was not included on the soundtrack release.
Yes! I have the soundtrack and was disappointed at its absence. The audition scene was excellent. They 'Boys' had a long day of tryouts with no success. In walks Suzy Diamond, late, broken heel and her only previous 'experience' was with an escort service. From the first note we all knew she was the one. Excellent film!
Michelle was nominated and should've gotten the Oscar for this movie.
Back in those days Oscars were in the habit of giving it to veteran actors as a "lifetime achievement" award, and in that year it was Jessica Tandy for "Driving Miss Daisy".
While I thought Jessica Tandy was an excellent actress, but Michelle's performance was better that year.
It also didn't hurt Jessica was 80 years-old, so the Academy felt it was either now or never in giving her the Oscar.
i love this movie so much and those songs such an amazing
She can do it all... modeled down a catwalk, perform, sing... and even put a bird inside her mouth.
😅😁
I love this film and musics by D.Grusin that I bought both cassette tape OST and CD OST. Wonderful music by D.Grusin and Michelle's sexy voice~~!:)
love this version. Michelle Pfeiffer kills it with this song.
AWESOME MOVIE AND SOUNDTRACK! TO ME A MODERN DAY FILM CLASSIC!
Michelle kills it with this song!
Michelle is a great singer. She first showed her singing talent,to me anyhow in GREASE 2. Even though GREASE 2 was not a success, she still did a great job with her incredible voice. This I believe is from THE FABULOUS BAKER BOYS.
I believe the song she sings here dates back to the 1920's, as does MAKIN' WHOOPEE which she also performed in "Baker Boys"which also dates back that far(1928)
Grammy winner. Best Vocal and Instrumental Arrangement 1990.
All that beauty and talent ----and she can sing ---- great stuff !!
What an amazing movie, loved the piano and all of Michele's vocals.........watched again the other day...xx
Que tema hermoso, en el piano Dave Grusin y Michele Pfeifer lo canta bien
i still love Michelle...
Michelle Pfeiffer's version >>>>>>
Remember her as Catwoman? She was fucking amazing!
truly an incredible film
Famosa película
I love the film, my treasure DVD. Michelle is a genuine artist.
I can't believe HBO doesn't show this fabulous movie!!!
Oh i love Michelle Pfeiffer! ❤ The movie is awesome and magical
Millie Jade I'm not surprised you love Michelle Pfeiffer, as you look much like her and are every bit as beautiful!
Zeppolino100 Aww thank you so much!!! ^_^ You are so sweet!
The pleasure (and honesty) is mine. Think of me as being 2/3 the sexy Balwin, 1/3 the other. :-)
Zeppolino100 ^_^ Wow haha
Esa vieja siempre fue mi amor platonico....
El Jazz es mí delirio,sobretodo,cuando tiene un sonido parecido a este ,el piano y el saxofón, nacieron para ser la dupla perfecta!!🎷🎹🎼😘
WOW...Job Well Done, Michelle!!
Exelent Film & Song...
I've heard many renditions of this song and although many people say this is the best rendition they've ever heard, I don't think they have heard the many artists that have recorded this tune. However, considering Michelle wasn't known as a singer, she brings a depth and expression to her rendition that few untrained artists have been able to do. Just amazing!
Yes I agree.. still the best version I've ever heard..
Why hasn't she ever been in a Disney movie? She'd make a FANTASTIC villainess. She could probably even pull off a Disney Princess depending on what kind of character they came up with for her.
She is now
Yes, Michelle is lovely, but not many mention the accompaniment. Dave Grusin’s piano work is incredible. It sets the pace and the atmosphere and if you’ve ever tried, incredibly difficult to replicate. 2:52
During that time Oscars were still in habit of giving it as a lifetime achievement award to performers in their twilight years.
Michelle was going head to head against "Driving Ms. Daisy" that year at the Oscars.
Jessica Tandy was around since the 1940's and Michelle didn't stand a chance.
Any other year, Michelle would've won.
BTW -- I just saw Fabulous Baker Boys again and it still holds up surprisingly well, even the Bridges bros were great, but didn't even get nominated that year.
This was Michelle's best chance for an Oscar.
That "Making Whoopee" scene in that hot red dress.
Whew !
I think that Michelle Pfeiffer has amply demonstrated she is a rather versatile actress. Her acting in "Dangerous Liaisons" or in "The Age of Innocence", among others, is fantastic. Being a beautiful woman is something that plays against her acting, as it usually happens in such cases.
The most beautiful movie i've seen.
SO VERY BEAUTFUL
This is not Valentine day but I don't know why it came to my mind !!!
Love this movie and the music is awesome!!
Fabulous =)
maravillosa película!!!
Great voiceee 💗
Beautiful!
I always loved this version from the movie "The Fabulous Baker Boys" performed by Dave Grusin & Michelle Pfeiffer and wondered how it would sound as a solo piano version. Finally I transcribed & arranged it years ago & uploaded it on YT today - check it out :-) "My Funny Valentine" (D. Grusin Version) arranged & performed by Uwe Karcher
+ukaykeys Thanks for sharing your version! Keep up your musical talent! :)
sou do Brasil. E vi e revi varis vezes este filme. E ouvi sempre na radio em SPaulo. Grande interpretação.
Awesome 👍
This arrangement is as good as any I have heard. A little less strings, more Michelle and piano. I vote to award it Best Song -post hoc.
I will take Alice Fredenham’s vocal arrangement, with her achingly plaintive styling.
j'adore
Absolute best version, IMO.
Michelle is so beautiful no body cares if she can sing... She's absolutely gorgeous..
Love it. This beats Tony Bennett's version. Hate to say it, but cats rule!!!
Sublime 🧿
beau , good actor.
내가 좋아하는 영화
timeless.
Gracias.
......yuo make me smile......
Michelle Never Sang the Song in the Movie, but its on the Sound-Track. Loved the Movie Multiple times, but not the last 7 Minutes when he fights his brother.
It is documented that she did sing in the movie. See:
"Pfeiffer performed all of her own vocals for her character and the film's soundtrack.[63] Kloves described Pfeiffer's singing voice as good but not "professionally great", believing a more professional-sounding singer would have made the film unrealistic.[64] Despite having sung in the musical film Grease 2 (1982), Pfeiffer was never a professional singer,[24] and found the songs in The Fabulous Baker Boys challenging because they are "written to showcase the voice ... so [she] had to retrain the way I listen to music" to sound as though she was singing live, accompanied by only two pianos.[37] Pfeiffer had not sung on camera since Grease 2 seven years prior.[38] To strengthen her vocal chords, the actress enrolled in voice lessons for two months under vocal coach Sally Stevens.[24][31] Stevens was personally recruited by Grusin, with whom she had collaborated several times prior.[65]"

@@ivecloptv I Said Michelle NEVER Sang My Funny Valentine in the Movie, Only on the Sound-track.
@@tonydisibio4236
Obviously actors don't necessarily sing live when they are filming, they are usually recorded after the filming, in a studio, to control the whole thing.
My funny valentine,
Sweet, comic valentine,
You make me smile with my heart.
Your looks are laughable,
Unphotographable,
But you're my favourite work of art.
Is your figure less than Greek?
Is your mouth a little weak?
When you open it to speak,
Are you smart?
Don't change a hair for me,
Not if you care for me.
Stay my funny valentine, stay.
Each day is valentines day.
Give a thumbs up if you think Susie gets back together with Jack!

THIS HOPELESS ROMANTIC WANTED SUSIE AND JACK TO "END UP TOGETHER"
I hope you also enjoy this very particular rendition of My funny Valentine, together with Baroque music and poetry (John Donne), and played with Baroque instruments, just published by Warner Classics, as part of the musical LA CRÍTICA DEL AMOR:

Very cool!
Blue-eyed jazz.
ミシェル ふあいふぁーの代表作だ
why doesn't she sing more
WAS JEFF BRIDGES REALLY PLAYING PIANO ?
No idea, surely you can find the answer via Google. :)
I think, it was Dave Grusin at the piano.
FOR ALL YOU DAVE GRUSIN FANS - Please watch the new Feature Length Documentary film about Dave titled, "DAVE GRUSIN: NOT ENOUGH TIME" - For more info and a link to the film go to: www.grusinfilm.com
the film was very good. but no smoke in movies please ...
Smoking can provide ambiance to certain scenes, and can even act as a prop or joke. Just think about cigars in movies and the types of characters who smoke them. A western where some guys are sitting playing cards, a cigarette lies almost forgotten in an ash tray, you know there is a gun fight coming and the camera focuses on the smoldering cigarette, the cylinder of ash falls and everyone draws their guns.
So yeah, there can be a good reason for smoking in movies.
WAS HE REALLY PLAYING THAT PIANO ?
No they had dead keys but learned the parts. She really sang, though.
A reunion, some years later... :)
