Hi,
Would anyone happen to have a midi file for the song "Rags to Riches" (Tony Bennet)?
I've searched but have come up with nada.

Found the lyrics, but the midi has been elusive. Might have to record one.

Rags To Riches
Tony Bennett
Written by Richard Adler and Jerry Ross

Charted at # 1 in 1953
Later charted by Sunny and the Sunliners at # 45 in 1963
Later charted by Elvis Presley at # 33 in 1971


I know I'd go from rags to riches
If you would only say you care
And though my pocket may be empty
I'd be a millionaire

My clothes may still be torn and tattered
But in my heart I'd be a king
Your love is all that ever mattered
It's everything

So open your arms and you'll open the door
To ev'ry treasure that I'm hopin' for
Hold me and kiss me and tell me you're mine ever more

Must I forever be a beggar
Whose golden dreams will not come true?
Or will I go from rags to riches?
My fate is up to you



Must I forever be a beggar
Whose golden dreams will not come true?
Or will I go from rags to riches?
My fate is up to you

Cheers,

Gary

Gary-

I perform that song, using a style...not a midi file...

Do you need the music? Email me if you do...

Bill,
Which style do you use?
I imagine it's some big band?
If you would send me the music it would be appreciated. My e-mail is in my profile.
Thanks
Jim

PS I found an mp3 of tony and elton doing a duet of rags to riches. Very cool.
