Norah Jones: You Don't Know Me

[BillST4s]

I like Norah Jones because she refuses to be typecast into a particular music genre. She can definitely sing jazz.

You Tube notes:
From the DVD "Willie Nelson & Wynton Marsalis play the music of Ray Charles, with special guest Norah Jones".

Personnel:
Norah Jones -vocal
Wynton Marsalis - trumpet
Walter Blanding - tenor sax
Mickey Raphael - harmonica
Dan Nimmer - piano
Carlos Henriquez - bass
Ali Jackson - drums

Just bumping this over the serial dead 70s classics posts from Steve.

This song started out as a country and western tune. Hard to believe, huh?

I'm always surprised at the songs that start life in another music genre and get "jazzed up."

C&W songwriter Cindy Walker wrote it per Eddy Arnold's suggestion. Wikipedia recounts the story: link.
