Chet Baker - It Could Happen To You download song

Beautiful song and voice and scatting. Yes!

Im so impressed with the music my Mom loved when she was 17-18 and getting ready to join the Navy in 1945

"It Could Happen To You" Hide your heart from sight, lock your dreams at night It could happen to you Don't count stars or you might stumble Someone drops a sigh and down you tumble Keep an eye on spring, run when church bells ring It could happen to you All I did was wonder how your arms would be And it happened to me Keep an eye on spring, run when church bells ring It could happen to you All I did was wonder how your arms would be And it happened to me

Boy, does Chet nail it on this song! His vocal is impeccable!!!

Chet relied on his ear for everything that he played and this is obvious when you hear him sing. (And why you should start singing as well!) Listen to his vocal solo on It Could Happen to You. It didn’t matter whether he was playing the trumpet, singing, or figuring out chords on the piano – the music inside him was the same.

At it’s core, improvising is simply playing the melodies that are already inside of you. That’s it! All of the theory and technique that you learn is just a tool that enables this inner-sound to come out of your instrument. When it comes to improvising there is no better example of a musician that embodied this musical approach than Chet Baker.

I love this man. His voice sounds like an instrument without overcome the others... RIP

Chet almost never sang perfectly in tune. But that was his style, and it offered a sense of vulnerability and reality to every song he sang. When you listen to Chet sing, you don't get some pitch-perfect Buble guy. You get a real human being just expressing himself regardless of how well he can sing. And that's personally what I love about him.

I worked with chet two nights in Paris at that place called Le Chat Qui Peche” He just got to Paris running from the Italian police.. I did not know some of his tunes, and asked him to give me the changes, and he said he couldn’t do that. But he could sing from the top note down the cord.

His voice solo on 1:22 is one of the most beautiful things I've seen on my life!

Chets like a best friend who'll give you the best advice. Let the legend R.I.P. Thanks for all you've shown me.

He was so good at playing and improvising melodies whether he sang or played trumpet.

As someone who plays trombone and trumpet, it sounds to me like he was imagining a solo on his trumpet and was singing it instead. I love that.

Who here is watching during the lockdown?
