Blue Skies | Piano and Vocal Cover - Smooth Jazz Music

Here's my take on Irving Berlin's Blue Skies, which was written in 1926 as a last-minute addition to the Rodgers and Hart musical 'Betsy'. The song was an instant hit; on its opening night, the audience demanded some 24 encores of the piece! The next year, it became one of the first songs to be featured in a 'talkie', with Al Jolson performing it in 'The Jazz Singer'. Other recordings include those by Bing Crosby, Danny Kaye, Fred Astaire, Ella Fitzgerald, Frank Sinatra, Diana Krall, Doris Day, and countless others. It was also featured in the film Star Trek: Nemesis and the series Star Trek: Picard, being sung in the first case by Brent Spiner as Lieutenant Commander Data, and in the second case by actress Isa Briones, who (to put it simply) plays Data's 'daughter' (it's complicated!). Anyway, I hope you enjoy the song!
