What'll I do
when you
are far away
and I'm so blue?
What'll I do?
What'll I do
when I
am wondering who
is kissing you
what'll I do?
What'll I do
with just
a photograph
to tell my troubles to?
When I'm alone
with only dreams of you
that won't come true
what'll I do?
Song by Lorenz Hart and Richard Rogers

Beautiful voice--and a master class in accompaniment by Larry

What a voice! What a collaboration. Breathing new life into this old American Irving Berlin classic.

I heard this tune watching old Northern Exposures, I listened to every version I could find, but I think this one might be the best, great music, great vocal interpretation, wonderful piano. Big smiles and bigger thanks for making this. Amazingly beautiful. Best tune to have stuck in my head.

What an incredible duo. Subtlety, nuance, harmonies that make you want to live. Thank you Kathleen and Larry.

The piano, the genius, the voice, all come together, too capture this song, like no others have ! BEAUTIFUL 👍 👍 👍

I'm ex music biz. This is the definitive female vocal - listened to them all, from Vaughn to Streisand to Ronstat, etc for this song. She nails it, on all levels. Timbre, phrasing, key, and this simple, perfect arrangement, which is as it should be. The song and the voice can soar. I might have picked the tempo up just a tad but that's me.

[marranch]

A perfect song, voice, musical arrangement and so meaningful!

So Beautiful, as a pianist I'm a big Goldings fan now I'm a Kathleen Grace fan too. This is how to accompany a singer!! Thank you

[stevencole]

Beautiful voice. And no matter what Larry G is playing -- ballads, funk, pop, straight ahead, Brazilian -- literally anything. it's always PERFECT!

It is nice to hear Rogers and Hart again with a bit of an

[denisemoore]

I’ve listen to 25 different versions of this tune from all the greats and you, my dear, have sung it so beautifully better than all the rest

[Zpycer]

So beautiful, both of you. Heard this song all my life done by various artists. It was written almost 100 years ago. 1923!

Tidbit from wiki:

"What'll I Do" is one of the few songs by Irving Berlin that is clearly biographical. His fiancée, a society beauty named Ellin MacKay, had been sent to Europe by her disapproving father, a very wealthy Long Island magnate, in the hopes that MacKay would forget Berlin. (She did not and eventually they married.) The song was written during McKay's "tour" of Europe. In the lyrics, the singer longs disconsolately for his love, imagining how he can go on without her.”

Took a little bit of the melancholy out of it by changing 'troubles' to 'secrets' :)
What great work, thanks so much.

Jazz can ask questions and sometimes provide answers of great music that had not been explored before, I thought I knew this classic but now I listen to each interpretation with wonder. Thank you.

[sanditheodore]

One of the most beautiful recordings I've heard. Absolutely gorgeous from all perspectives - just perfect!

[MaurizioMetalliMusic]

[christopherhanna]

In a better world this would have 5 mil hits...

[robinbailey]

I found this by a random link from a Pomplamoose mashup and what an exquisite end to my day this has been; thank you both for this apparently effortless and perfectly judged and understated thing of beauty.

What a great performance! Beautiful feel, music that breathes, complex and compelling harmonic content .. reminds me of a Woody Allen soundtrack (Hannah et al) Magic!
