I just reviewed & updated my song repetoire list of well over 500+ songs. To keep my shows fresh (for BOTH myself and the audience), I'm always looking for new material, as well as rotating the older stuff. Here's my current list of the 100+ favorites which I currently consider (subject to change of course) to be the most popular with my audience. I hope others of you will now share the songs you currently perform. Are there some songs which you have dropped, which you used to perform regularly? Are there some songs that you like but don't perform, and why?

Hi Scott,

Your listeners must be about the same age as mine. They like the old song, real music they can go away humming. Here's a partial list of my favorites. Forgive the spelling and abbreviations. The list was never meant for publication.

Chico,
Porque no "Dia Dia" by Rueben Blades?

http://imjazzed.homestead.com/Index.html

Dan, great tunes. I myself do some of these as well, but my mostly older (40+) target audience prefers the older standards.

Terry: I admire the fact that ALL your 800 tunes are 'originals'.

Hi Gary. Checked your song repetoire list and yes yours contains much of the same material as mine. Classic gold stuff for sure. There are a few tunes on your list that I don't know, so I look forward to checking them out (via internet mp3) and perhaps learn some of them.

Chico: I enjoyed finding out your top 30 song list. Though I too enjoy playing the Jobim tunes in your list, as well as the American Standards, I'm not yet familiar with songs: #7, 8, 9, 16, 18, 19, 20, 21, 28, and 30. Do you know if these tunes are included in a published fakebook?

Richard: Sounds like a lot your song material is focussed in the earlier part of the 20th century. Looks like a lot of new songs for me to explore.

Actually, though many of my venues are geared to the over 50 set, many in the 25- 40 age group also enjoy the older standards as well, especially because these songs seems to be popping up a lot in movies & commercials. It's been very popular recently for younger contemporary artists (Sting, Natalie Cole, Harry Connick Jr, myself, etc) to perform classic standards from the American Songbook which has brought about a retro resurgence in traditional pop by the younger generation. A lot of a songs success & audience receptiveness has to do with 'HOW' (what style) you deliver the song. I often update my classic pop material to a more contemporary rhythm when playing for a younger crowd. Looking forward to checking out song lists from others of you out there now, in order to get even MORE ideas of new songs to add to my repetoire.

Scott

I'm surprised I don't see much from people like the Mills Brothers or the Ink Spots etc

Scott,

Having played in a Big Band for the last 30 years, I think your list looks a lot like ours. Here are a few that we have to include when we play like it or not, they are requests.

Alley Cat (hate it)
After the lovin (very nice tune)
Sunny Side of the Street (one of my favorites)
Satin Doll (not on your list)
Green Green Grass (sometimes with alternate lyrics)
Leroy Brown
Tuxedo Junction (great swing tune)
Midnight Hour (young and old love this one)
Proud Mary (played this one too much)
Try a Little Tenderness
Cab Driver (Drive on Mary's Face)
Tea for Two (Cha Cha)
Meditation
What a Wonderful World
Witchcraft
Ruby Baby (kind of a medium Boogie)
Blue Skirt Waltz
Stardust (I'm really sick of that one)
Sentimental Journey (ditto this one)
I Saw Her Standing There
Ticket To Ride

I see you do Poor Side of Town. I would love to do that one. I had forgotten about Tiny Bubbles. I've never done "Something Stupid" because the melody BORES me to death. It's like Johnny one note. Do you do "Something"?

I always like the combinations people come up with. They will request something like "Careless", then when you tell them it's not in the book, they'll say "OK how about Inna a Godda Da Vida". Love it

Tom

Scott,

I've sent you the music sheets for Chico's #7,8,30 . These are very well known and beautiful bossas. #28 is the french title for "Autumn Leaves", that you surely know.

I'll send the international part of my list later today (it's full of portuguese songs that you are not interested in and never will hear about!).

One question: many of the songs in the lists everybody sent, while beautiful and eternal, are not that danceable. I wonder where are the songs with which you entertain a crowd dying to dance all night!

-- José.

Good topic. Lately I have REALLY been enjoying something I never thought would make as much of a difference as it has: every week I take an old song that I have played too many times and rearrange it totally, in many cases giving it a more "modern" flavor by allowing more space in the arrangement, adding soft vocal pads, and/or giving it a slight Jobim/Latin flavor. This has proved very successful, and now the older songs I used to loathe to play I love - most noteably, As Time Goes By, Someone To Watch Over Me, Laura, I've Got You Under My Skin, Fly Me To The Moon, The Way You Look Tonight, Can't Help Falling In Love With You, Lullaby of Birdland, Don't Get Around Much Anymore, etc. The reaction from the audience has been totally positive, which surprised me because standards that used to be slow like Someone To Watch Over Me are now more uptempo but people dance to them the same as they always have. It's very refreshing for both the audience and myself, and lately I've been playing 5-7 nights a week so keeping myself from getting bored is very important.

My list is too long. No way to separate the top 30 or top 100. If anybody really wants it, I'll email. It's in MS Works format. It's 23 pages long, and still doesn't include songs added in the past couple of years.
DonM

This is the stuff I usually play. As you might notice, music kind of died for me around 1950 apart from a few select numbers. If I had to pick one composer it would be George Gershwin. For all you guys who picked The Girl from Ipanema, how come there aren't any more Tom Jobim numbers? You just gotta love No More Blues, never mind the rest.

WOW !!! .... Looking at your lists makes me feel that at 61 years of age, MY list is 'cutting' edge ...
Seriously, it's great to know that the 'Great American Songbook' is alive and well, ... but I am surprised that there's not more Billy Joel, Elton John, Angelo's guy Manilow, even Garth Brooks ... two songs of his that I've found very popular "The Dance" and "If Tomorrow Never Comes" ... I know UD said he didn't care for "IF Tomorrow.." , but I've found that crowds love it ... Also Clapton's "Wonderful Tonight", Joshua Kaddison's "Beautiful in My Eyes", Edwin McCain's "Could Not Ask For More", Van Morrison's "Have I told You Lately" (not Rod Stewart's version) ... Morrison's "Moondance" also makes a nice swing dance tune....
Speaking of Rod, as Scott Yee said, younger singers are using the "Great American Songbook" and introducing a whole new audience to it ... While I am not a fan of Rod Stewart's attempt at the standards, he will provide exposure to a new audience of listeners as well ... I remember when the movie "When Harry Met Sally" came out, I had young people ask if I knew any of Connick's 'new' music ... little did they realize I was playing it BEFORE he was!!!
t.

I would add to Chico's list...Blue Bossa, Triste, Once I Loved ... amongst others..
Looking at Richard's list and seeing 'When Whipporwills Call', which is really 'My Blue Heaven' (don't we all have our own 'catch' titles for some songs?), reminded me of the night a woman requested "Burning Bridges" .. I could not think of the song, but she was insistent that she heard me sing it... Later, when I was in the middle of a tune, she came up and said "That's it, That's the song!!!" ... can anyone guess what song it was??? .....
t.

There is a new feature at the psrtutorial that will answer that question directly. It is an index to all the songs in all the US fakebooks. That's over 10,000 unique titles. Here is a direct link: http://psrtutorial.com/FakeBooks/FBSongs/fbsongs.html
Songs are alphabetized and there is a separate page for each letter. For those who want the complete list, there is also an MS Word document that can be downloaded. It will give you a 61-page 3-column print out.

P.S. Since the site has become so large now, I've added a search capability this past weekend. Although I see I'll have to provide better "page titles" now that the search index is operational.

The amount of non-PSR specific material is growing. I recently added a section on the Secrets of Chord Progressions. Although pros won't need this, others may find this series of weekly lessons useful in learning all of the chords.

Of course, in spite of all these lessons, downloading remains the most popular activity as I now have 400 styles, complete with OTS, tuned to the PSR-2000 plus an additional 500 styles without OTS. The midi files from the PSR Performers are also popular with nearly 700 songs now available at the site.

I had to laugh when I saw Rod Stewart trying to cash in on some of the old standards..complete with tux and loosened bow tie. But, then I thought, "What the Hay? I am always trying different stuff...some of which I am just not suited to." Look at Willie Nelson. The man can do almost anything and it sells. On the subject of Harry Connick Jr., I give him credit for popularizing some of the older tunes, even though I don't care for his style.
Eddie

José: Many thanks for sending the lead sheets. Actually I'm rather embarrassed to admit now that I actually do already know & play Chico's songs #7 & #8 but had only recognized them by their English titles: No More Blues & Brazil. I spent time this morning playing Luiza and really love Jobim's chord changes. Jobim has a way of making simple yet beautiful melodies shine thru the use of wonderfully exotic chord changes. And yes, Autumn Leaves is one of the first jazz standards I learned way back when I began exploring/playing jazz standards back in school.



Looking forward to seeing your top song favorites list (including the portuguese songs) of course.

Scott

The Pro: I concur with EVERYTHING you're saying here. The beauty of the arranger keyboard is the ease of which we are able to experiment with and apply new updated styles to those worn tunes we get requested to play night after night, year after year.

I got started in performing the older Pop standards (big band & jazz/pop classics) when Harry Connick Jr hit the scene back in the late 80s. I'm particularly psyched that Norah Jones has garnered a grammys sweep with her album 'Come Away With Me' which includes several terrific classic pop standards: The 'Nearness of You', and 'Cold Cold Heart'. She's not only young (23) & goodlooking, but she's actually a terrific singer and keyboardist as well.

Poor Side of Town is a classic Johnny Rivers tune which always receives a great response from my audiences. I use the Yamaha style: '60's Guitar Pop' with the vocal harmonizer on the chorus.

I do "Something Stupid" because it's just THAT, and doesn't try to be anything else. My audiences like it because they like everything Frankie.



Yep, I have done a LOT of things, including this classic Beatles tune.

Scott

Hello Scott.

Good idea !
I am loving this post.
About Luiza , is always my first song, every work (All the things you are on Eb tone, is the second)
Chico

Scott.

Do you want play this songs?
I can make the parts in Encore notator,save as PDF(Adobe) file and send to you.
Pls,just say yes.

Chico

Terry

Dia dia is in my 500 pieces repertoire, of course.
Chico

Tony,

Both "For the Good Times" and "Does Ft. Worth Ever Cross Your Mind" have references to burning bridges.

Tom

A request for "That's What You Are" had me scratching my head until I figured out they were asking for "Unforgettable"..that's what you are....
Eddie

Hi Chico,
Yes, I am always interested in exploring new songs to add to my repetoire. Thanks to Mathias (José), I now have the chart to Luiza (great chord changes). Embarassingly, I hadn't realized that I do already play Chega de Saudade (No More Blues), and Aquarela do Brasil (Brazil) but only recognized them by their English title.

Chico, I would though be very grateful to receive from you, the music PDF (leadsheet/chords) to:

Se todos fossem iguais a você.
Champagne
La puerta
Nosotros
El dia en que me quieras
Senza fine

Many thanks. Scott

btw: My current favorite Jobim tunes included in my performance repetoire are as follows. I look forward to learning more.

Girl from Ipanema
Corcovado
Wave
Meditation
Desifinado
How Insensitive
One Note Samba
Once I Loved

Tom .... it WAS "For the Good Times" ...

Eddie .... I've actually had that request before ... took me a little time also....

Here in RI, even for wedding dinners, it is customary to play soft dinner music for the entire time the dinner is being served (which in some places can be 3 1/2 of the 4 hours you're hired for!!!)
During that time, since I love the music, I love just going through 'The Real Book', playing ALL those great bossas ....
And I said here in RI, because in NYC the place is rockin' from the time the bridal party is introduced to the last note, which I personally prefer ...
t.

Here is the my list of favorite international songs. There are a few french/italian/brasilian/spanish songs in the list, but only the ones that I think are the most widely known internationally. But beeing in Portugal, I sing and play a lot of portuguese contemporay tunes. They are, with no doubt, the favorites of my crowds.

Hey - Did I call it with Norah Jones ? Huh?
All my favorites scored big at the show.
The Mayer, The Chix and Ms.Jones are 3 of my current passions .......... Haven't been this current in years !

Norah Jones will be at the PNC Arts Center in Homdel NJ in June!

I remember years ago during the Ocsars....I knew all 5 songs from the best picture catagory. It was a gas. I think they were:
ET ("Heartlight" by Neil Diamond ... not actually IN the movie, by ABOUT the movie)
Officer and a Gentleman
Tootsie
Charriots of Fire
.........and I forget the last one.

These days ..... "current" is not my priority, but I try to do what I can pull off. Norah Jones is making me a big shot again!
