I’m committed to honesty and straightforwardness on this blog, so I’m going to give it to you straight:
I LOVE THIS ALBUM!
Harry Connick, Jr. “Your Songs” is a soothing, jazzy mix of classics, that you’ve grown to love over the years with the full orchestra and big band sound. It’s one that you can totally listen to the full CD (a rare find)! You’ll find yourself belting out the tunes, but trust me Harry does it better!!!! It’s a great background music for your commute, while you work, dinner music, wedding reception, a pick-me-up after a job loss =) ,etc.
Check out the track list for yourself: (Originally performed by)
- All The Way (Frank Sinatra)
- Just The Way You Are (Billy Joel)
- Can’t Help Falling In Love With You (Elvis Presley)
- And I Love Her (The Beatles)
- (They Long To Be) Close To You (The Carpenters)
- Besame Mucho
- The Way You Look Tonight

Aaah! I just downloaded this TODAY!!! I saw him on Oprah and am so in love with him and his voice! Was so excited to see that he was doing some remakes. I can't choose one song, but my favorite album of his (until now, maybe) is his Christmas one. Love the one where he sings with Kate.

I've been following your blog for a while but have never commented...not really sure why! You have an incredible family and I have been blessed by your story.
One of my friends in high school had his Christmas album and we always loved listening to Frosty the Snowman. It's silly, but something about that song just makes me happy.

"We are in love" is my favorite. Love Harry. If I don't win, I'm definitely buying this CD!
I have to go with It Had to Be You...
I have no idea so I will just pick from the ones above and I will go with "The Way You Look Tonight".
Smiles!

I just found your blog today, but I wanted to check in on this post. My FAVORITE of his songs is 'A Nightingale Sang in Berkeley Square'. We had it at our wedding :)
And I can't figure out how to make OpenID work :( I've logged in with WordPress, but my account still isn't recognized.
Oh. My. Gosh. HCJ is my favorite. His voice is so unique and smooth and he's a Southern gentleman. I love the way he sings "Smile". That's one of my favorite songs ever anyway.
Little bit of a crush on Harry, love the song "We are in Love"
I am going to go with - Just The Way You Are
(They Long To Be) Close To You (The Carpenters)
My mother in law bought this singing dog for my niece to play with at their house. It sings the first few line to this song. Now that my niece is 3 and my own daughter 18 months they love to sing this song with grandma. My niece almost knows the words "Why do birds suddenly appear (then there is some jumbled mess)...Close to you". It brings a smile to my face just thinking about it!

I can't pick just one! I'm especially partial to his Christmas Music though.
I love "Avalon" on the 20 album!

I have to say "It had to be you" also. That's the song my husband and I walked into our reception at our wedding with! :)
I love Harry Connick! I think "Just The Way You Look Tonight" would be an awesome song=)
One of my favorites of his songs is "She".
