Cantstopsinging Date Submitted:  2022-01-30 [Archive Date: 2022-04-30] Genre:  Jazz/Swing Original Artist:  Various Additional Info:  Disc Mfg:    Disc #:   Description:  "Willow Weep for Me" is a popular song composed in 1932 by Ann Ronell, who also wrote the lyrics. It is mostly known as a jazz standard, having been recorded first by Ted Fio Rito (with vocal by Muzzy Marcellino) in October 1932 and by Paul Whiteman (with vocal by Irene Taylor) the following month. Both were hits in December 1932. Notable recordings continued into the 1950s, starting with Stan Kenton's version with June Christy. Tony Bennett's 1996 version on his album “On Holiday” features a very moving voice and phrasing by Tony in a very sensitive performance. It was a major hit for the British duo Chad & Jeremy. In January 1965, it reached No. 15 on the Billboard Hot 100, and went to No. 1 on the Adult Contemporary chart. It was included on their Yesterday's Gone album and many subsequent compilations. I am using the Chad & Jeremy version and then added some background harmonies where I felt like it was a good place.
