I've grown accustomed to her face ...

Well,

I don't know how this happens. Damn!

Here is the absolute best rendition of the 'My Fair Lady' song, written by Learner and Lowe. And, surprise, it is sung by one of my favorite singers, Dean Martin. This a video clip off of his long-running eponymous TV show - 'The Dean Martin Show'. This clip is priceless, so enjoy ... Especially listen to the phrasing. It is perfect! and knowing.

And think, what I am going through right now.



I can't provide a direct video link to this one, for copyright reasons, but here is a link to a YouTube clip of Dean in 'Artists and Models', one of his last films with Jerry Lewis. The song is 'Innamorata' (Beloved), and it is perfect. So, take the link and enjoy. And that is Shirley McLain with Dino. In her first film appearance. The subtitles are Dutch, so learn a little Dutch along the way - one of the hardest languages to learn on Earth!

For those who want to just see a YouTube clip of Dean singing the song, with some archival footage behind it, go to this. It is pretty good.
