Thank you for the beautiful musicarrangement Aleck, and thank you Chuck for beautiful trumpet. "Don't Go To Strangers" is a 1954 song by Arthur Kent with lyrics by Redd Evans. Don't Go to Strangers was Etta Jones' first album for the independent jazz label Prestige when it was released in 1960 (having been recorded in a single session on June 21 of that year), and although Jones had been releasing records since 1944, including a dozen sides for RCA in 1946 and an album for King Records in 1957, she was treated as an overnight sensation when the title tune from the album went gold, hitting the Top 40 on the pop charts and reaching number five on the R&B charts.Etta Jones was an American jazz singer whose critical success and relative commercial obscurity earned her a reputation in her lifetime as a "jazz musician's jazz singer". A highly underrated singer who rarely received the recognition she richly deserved, perhaps the salient mark of her obscurity was the number of times even followers of the female jazz vocal scene would confuse her with a more popular singer, Etta James. Etta Jones is noted for her elegant interpretations of standards, ballads, and blues. Her characteristic inflections have sometimes prompted comparisons to stylistic devices employed by Billie Holiday and Dinah Washington. Build your dreams to the stars above But when you need someone true to love Don't go to strangers, darling, come on to me Play with fire 'til your fingers burn And when there's no place for you to turn Don't go to strangers, darling, come on to me For, when you hear a call to follow your heart You follow your heart, I know I've been through it all and I'm an old hand And I'll understand if you go So make your mark for your friends to see But when you need more than company Don't go to strangers, come on to me Oh, make your mark for your friends to see But when you need more than company Don't go to strangers, darling, come on to me Genre Jazz & Blues Comment by Christopher “ Two Step “ Owen Breathtaking 2019-09-23T19:59:21Z Comment by Aleck Rand prefectm Oddrun! 2019-03-21T01:38:39Z Comment by oddrun eikli @213639217: thank you Vittorio, from us. 2018-12-02T15:39:28Z Comment by Julian Abbott Beautiful song and arrangement. 2018-09-20T09:06:02Z Comment by Sunday's clouds cool 2018-06-14T09:53:33Z Comment by iarina all your performances are awesome, congratulation, Oddrun! :) 2018-05-07T19:04:41Z Comment by David Nederland Beautiful! 2018-05-05T08:35:50Z Comment by Vapor Void great smooth jazz! 2018-03-24T15:42:43Z Comment by oddrun eikli @andonion: so happy you enjoy, thank you from us. 2018-03-17T06:48:57Z Comment by GZK Such a smooth sailing voice, lovely jazz track. 2018-03-15T08:16:12Z Comment by All Frequencies Beautiful song... so lovely voice and lyrics... magnificent! :) 2018-03-14T23:10:48Z Comment by Maria Pauz Beautiful, thank you all! 2018-03-02T11:07:01Z Comment by conover Perfect in all ways... would love to try a duet oddrun 2018-02-22T04:35:38Z Comment by Lizzie Taypen So much beauty in this Oddrun, just flows like silk through the veins....your vocals are just magic and so full of soul! 2018-02-19T20:47:18Z Comment by Dan X2 Sounding good oddrun 2018-02-13T04:59:00Z Comment by Guitarbeard So wonderful! 2018-02-12T14:20:26Z Comment by Santi Ramirez beautiful!! 2018-02-10T17:54:54Z Comment by Irina Impeccable performance!
