As someone who has the vocal range of at least 1/2 an octave, I have always been amazed at Mel's ability to span the range of several octaves almost effortlessly. Here is a link to him and Ella singing nonsense, but doing it very well.

Definitely one of my Christmas songs.
December 1, 2017: I learned to play it on the guitar, at least an accomplished good first run. The version that I was working with had 16 different chords, so, it will take me a while to memorize them all and when to play them; however, I already knew most chords so, I can just read and play. Tough song to sing for me. After spending about 40 minutes getting down the melody on the guitar, I sure can play it far better than I can sing it. Mel Torme I am not. |
