As good as the song is (it's my favorite JW score) I'm surprised to find very few cover versions. Saxophonist Lou Donaldson recorded perhaps the first one back in the 70s. Others? I prefer instrumentals but would like vocals as well.    Posted:   Mar 25, 2023 - 6:23 PM     By:   Valiant65   (Member) The most recent, I believe, is the version by Anne-Sophie Muller with John Williams (running almost 6 minutes) from their album "Williams: Selected Film Themes" which came out summer of 2022.    Posted:   Mar 25, 2023 - 7:37 PM     By:   pete   (Member) There's a version on the Varese Sarabande compilation "Sax and Violence":    Posted:   Mar 26, 2023 - 2:57 AM     By:   judy the hutt   (Member) Thanks guys I now have it running through my head and it happens everyday    Posted:   Mar 26, 2023 - 4:12 AM     By:   chriss   (Member) A great song with outstanding lyrics by Johnny Mercer! Williams had more success with "Make Me Rainbows" from Fitzwilly. Ella Fitzgerald and the Count Basie Orchestra Vic Damone    Posted:   Mar 26, 2023 - 5:22 AM     By:   MusicMad   (Member) The most recent, I believe, is the version by Anne-Sophie Muller with John Williams (running almost 6 minutes) from their album "Williams: Selected Film Themes" which came out summer of 2022. Possibly because I don’t (didn’t) know the melody, I found this track to be the best of the three (all lovely) recordings. I may even be tempted to watch the film again which I didn’t enjoy 30 yrs ago. A great album.    Posted:   Mar 26, 2023 - 6:47 AM     By:   governor   (Member) Possibly the best vocal rendition is Harry Connick's performance with the BPO / John Williams conducting. Evening at pops 2001. Audio only    Posted:   Apr 6, 2023 - 7:32 AM     By:   villagardens553   (Member) I was just re-reading the novel--first time in years and spotted the sentence, spoken by Marlowe: "It happens every day." Give Mercer credit here. He probably read the novel when he got the assignment and jotted down any sentences or thoughts inspired by the novel. That kind of dedication doesn't, well, happen every day.     General Discussion: Song: The Long Goodbye (John Williams) -- Covers?    < 1  >   Go to page:  1   First Post    General Discussion • Trading Post • Non-Film Score Discussion  Profile • Preferences • Community Rules • Help/Contact • Search Board You must log in or register to post.   Go to page:  1
