Tight lyrics:
I don't know where my man is now
I've been looking, and looking, and looking
Where can he be? What is he doing?
I've been searching, and searching, and searching
I've been all over town looking
Hoping that he can be found
I'm on the loose, and I don't dig it
No, no, no, no, no, no
Take my advice, if you find a man, girl
I was looking for a lovely man, tight
Don't let him, don't let him, don't let him, don't let him
Hold on to him tight
I don't know where my man is now
I've been looking
Where can he be? What is he doing?
I've been searching
Lookin' all over town looking
Oh, hoping that he can be found
I'm on the loose, and I don't dig it
No, no, no, no, no, no
Take my advice, if you find a man, girl
I was looking for a lovely man, tight
Don't let him, don't let him, don't let him, don't let him
Hold on to him tight
Don't let him, don't let him, don't let him, don't let him
Hold on to him tight
Don't let him go, no, no
Don't let him go, don't let him go
Hold on to him tight
Written by Betty Carter

Samara Joy - SFJazz official show announcement:
At 23, Samara Joy is already setting the music world ablaze. Her 2022 Verve Records debut Linger Awhile has earned her two well-deserved Grammy wins, for Best Jazz Vocal Album and Best New Artist - the first time a jazz musician has won the prestigious newcomer’s award since Esperanza Spalding over a decade ago.
Hailing from a family of musicians in the Bronx with roots in gospel, Joy began her journey with jazz at age 17, winning Best Vocalist honors at Lincoln Center’s “Essentially Ellington” competition.
Within two years she was a star student of piano legend Barry Harris and bowled over a panel including Christian McBride, Jane Monheit, and Dee Dee Bridgewater to win the 2021 Sarah Vaughan International Jazz Vocal Competition.
Since then, Joy’s profile has risen exponentially through the release of her self-titled debut in 2021 and winning Best New Artist in 2021’s JazzTimes Critics Poll. She has introduced legions of young fans to the Great American Songbook through her TikTok account and released the Grammy-winning Linger Awhile in 2022.
It’s not an accident that Joy was signed to Verve Records - the label built specifically around Ella Fitzgerald - since the young singer is clearly on the path to continue the tradition of the First Lady of Song and conquer new worlds along the way.

Very energetic, powerful voice‼️
Someday I wanna go your live and say hoo!!
Glad she released this as a single, I sing it in the shower all the time 😂
So much talent in one girl, it's just unfair to other singers out there. A once in a generation kind of super gifted talent, totally fascinating.
I LOVE this song! Samara Joy is simply amazing!

Dangggg. So talented. On my bucket list to go see her
She is awesome in person! You won’t be disappointed!💥
That is such a cool song! I would love to have some inside information on the artistic creation and genesis of this song.
Betty Carter was such a phenomenal vocalist & writer. This is one of her signature tunes.
@@kiandeshouseofmusic5735 YES!
Lovely!!
Wow!❤
Incredible!!!!!!
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾💗🎶💥
massa!!!
Scat your little lungs away to that bass 🚶🏻♂️🚶🏻♂️🚶🏻♂️
Did she change the lyric at the end or is it my ears?
Which microphone is this one she is using?
The Queen of Jazz, Ella Fitzgerald is looking down and smiling.
A terrific and well done version, but Betty Carter's version is surreal. Jazzmeia Horn also does an excellent, though smoother version. For me it's Betty's version then well underneath, Jazzmeia's, then this one. But that doesn't mean that this version doesn't soar.
I love Betty Carter’s live version!
As far as renditions Jazzmeia Horns version to the best for my ears. This woman is talented but she is bit too much for my taste.
Jazzmeia Horn is damn near perfect! ❤❤❤❤
This is n o t a jazz song.
Well, let's see. It's built on a series of instrumental breaks, as were Louis Armstrong's 50 Choruses for Cornet in 1927. Its harmonies are easy for any jazz musician to hear, which is why Branford Marsalis had no trouble playing a solo over the form when Betty Carter came on The Tonight Show. It swings, it's more than twice as old as anyone in Samara's band, and it's been recorded by several leading jazz singers. So if it's an opera song, it's the strangest one I ever heard.
harmony check
swings check
blues check
collective improvisation check
probably jazz
It is absolutely a Jazz song; written by and originally performed by one of Jazz music's most dynamic artists, Ms. Betty Carter!
Wtf are you talking about fool
