My favorite american songwriter, that is Irving Berlin. I just love his work of more than 1000 songs. It´s the first time I tried to sing "Cheek to cheek", after "White christmas" and "Puttin´ on the Ritz", as "Cheek to cheek" is quite high and I had to wait for good day to give it a try. I´ve put a filter on it, to give it a genuine sound of the 1930´s.The instrumental part in the backing track was quite long and so I obviously began to hum. I wasn´t even aware of it. I´ve made 5 versions. Sometimes the singing was great and the whistling a mess. And singing after an orgy of whistling high notes, was difficult I found out. I had one perfect version, but I was whistling directly into the microphone, which didn´t forgive me my unprofessional behaviour. Sounded like I was trying a comical opera in a washing machine. Lol. So here we go. Back to the 30´s. A big step in time, from "Paparazzi" 2009 to "Cheek to cheek" 1935, but a small step in notes.
The song was first performed by Fred Astaire in the movie "Top Hat" (1935).
Hope you like it.
Cheerio André Berlin
PS. Oh yes, I wish Irving Berlin was my grand grand uncle, but we share the same family name by coincidence.
