THE GREAT AMERICAN SONGBOOK

IRVING BERLIN

”WHAT’LL I DO?”

The measure of a “standard” is that it can transcend the ages without losing its appeal. Contemporary artists have tried their hand at this standard, and the results were often amazing.

Willie Nelson went all the way back to the 1923 intro of the song that had been forgotten after everyone over the years had recorded only the chorus. It adds a special sense to this rendition. Your screen will go blurry.
