Birthday Gag Gifts

The Greatest Gift

lyrics

VERSE ONE:
so beautiful
when i first saw your face i knew
that i had to build the courage to talk to you
and know your name
i knew i’d never be the same
so incredible
i could stare into your eyes for a while
and who could forget that pretty smile
i knew you were the one
and now we’ve been brought here so that we’ll become

REFRAIN:
two hearts united together as one
brought by the Father, Spirit, and Son
sent from above
the greatest gift given to us is love

VERSE TWO
so wonderful
i can tell you almost anything
and i love the way you show your understanding
to my needs
oh you mean so much to me
so lovable
since the day you came into my life
i knew that you would someday be my wife
and now we’re here
and everything seems so clear to me

REFRAIN:
two hearts united together as one
brought by the Father, Spirit, and Son
sent from above
the greatest gift given to us is love

BRIDGE:
you should’ve seen me when
i knew our love wouldn’t end
i was so sure that we would be
i couldn’t wait for the day
til i could finally say
will you marry me
forever we will be

REFRAIN:
two hearts united together as one
brought by the Father, Spirit, and Son
sent from above
the greatest gift given to us is love

Fats Waller (born Thomas Wright Waller on May 21, 1904, died December 15, 1943) was an American jazz pianist, organist, composer and comedic entertainer.
A skilled pianist — widely recognized as a master of stride piano — Waller was one of the most popular performers of his era, finding critical and commercial success in his homeland and in Europe. Waller was also a prolific songwriter, with many songs he wrote or co-wrote still known to modern audiences, such as “Honeysuckle Rose”, “Ain’t Misbehavin’” and “Squeeze Me”. Fellow pianist and composer Oscar Levant dubbed Waller “the black Horowitz” in a favorable comparison to Russian pianist Vladimir Horowitz. A prolific composer of novelty swing tunes in the 1920s and 30s, Waller sold many of his compositions for relatively small sums, and as they became hits, other songwriters had already claimed them as their own. Thus many standards are alternatively, controversially attributed to Waller.
He was an excellent and much copied jazz pianist—now considered one of the very best who ever played in the stride style. He also had a touch that varied from subtle and extremely light to very powerful. He was a master of dynamics and tension and release. But it was his singing, songwriting, and his lovable, roguish stage personality that sold his hundreds of recordings for RCA Victor, in a day when much of society did not recognize jazz as “serious” music. He played with many performers, from Gene Austin to Erskine Tate to Adelaide Hall, but his greatest success came with his own five- or six-piece combo, “Fats Waller and his Rhythm”. Fats Waller was such an impressive and talented pianist that he came to the attention of the rich and famous—- sometimes whether he wanted to or not. Fats Waller was in Chicago in 1926 and, upon leaving the building where he was performing, Waller was kidnapped by four men, who bundled him into a car and drove off. The car later pulled up outside the Hawthorne Inn, owned by infamous gangster Al Capone. Fats was ordered inside the building, to find a party in full swing. With a gun against his back, Waller was pushed towards a piano, whereupon the gangsters demanded he start playing. A terrified Waller suddenly realized he was the “surprise guest” at Al Capone’s birthday party. Soon comforted by the fact that he wouldn’t die, Waller played, according to rumor, for three days. When he left the Hawthorne Inn, he was very drunk, extremely tired, and had earned thousands of dollars in cash given to him by Capone himself and by party-goers as tips.

Among his songs are “Squeeze Me” (1919), “Keepin’ Out of Mischief Now”, “Ain’t Misbehavin’” (1929), “Blue Turning Grey Over You”, “I’ve Got a Feeling I’m Falling” (1929), “Honeysuckle Rose” (1929), and “Jitterbug Waltz” (1930). He collaborated successfully with the Tin Pan Alley lyricist Andy Razaf for a number of years. Waller also composed stride piano display pieces such as “Handful of Keys”, “Valentine Stomp” and “Viper’s Drag.” His songs have become standards of the jazz repertoire.

Waller made a successful tour of the British Isles in the late 1930s, and appeared in one of the earliest BBC Television broadcasts. While in Britain, Waller also recorded a number of songs for EMI on their Compton Theatre organ located in their Studios in St John’s Wood, London. He appeared in several feature films and short subject films, most notably “Stormy Weather” in 1943, which was released only months before his death.

For his hit Broadway show, “Hot Chocolates”, with Razaf he wrote “What Did I Do (To Be So Black and Blue)?” (1929) which became a hit for Louis Armstrong. This song, a searing treatment of racism, black and white, calls into question the early accusations of “shallow entertainment” ignorantly leveled at both Armstrong and Waller.

Waller could read and write music well (from his classical keyboard studies) and would even, on occasion, perform organ works of Bach for small groups. He left his stamp on many pre-bop jazz pianists. Count Basie and Erroll Garner, for example, would have sounded very different absent the Waller sound. Today, Dick Hyman, Mike Lipskin, Louis Mazatier and other jazz pianists perform in the Waller idiom. Although the stride style, like all jazz, must be learned primarily by ear, many scholars have transcribed his brilliant improvisations from old recordings and radio broadcasts, in sheet music form. The pianist and keyboard professor Paul Posnak produced transcriptions of 16 of Waller’s greatest solos, published by Hal Leonard, which Posnak uses in concerts worldwide.

ARC master B 14095-C, rec. New York, 24 October 1933.
Leo Watson (voc, tipple), Wilbur Daniels (voc, tipple), Douglas Daniels (voc, tipple), Virgil Scoggins (voc, d), Teddy Bunn (voc, g).
A “Harlem renaissance” vocal/instrumental group, the Spirits started playing together in 1929. This jazzy version of George Gershwin’s classic seems to be their first recording, and to follow were surprisingly few but excellent additional sides. The group continued until 1937 and spent the following years reuniting and breaking more or less regularly. They played together for the last time in 1946.
Leo Watson, whose scat singing was way ahead of his contemporaries’, later appeared with such excellent orchestras as those of Gene Krupa and Artie Shaw. He died in 1950
Teddy Bunn recorded some wonderful solo sides for Blue Note. When he passed away in 1978 he had played with almost all the top black jazz men of his generation, for he was known as an often overlooked but nevertheless creative jazz and blues soloist and surely one of the best rhythm players of his time.
PS: In case you wonder what a tipple is: they called all kinds of home-built instruments „tipple be it percussion, guitar, anything
