Diana Krall - All or Nothing at All (live)

All or Nothing at All is a song composed in 1939 by Arthur Altman, with lyrics by Jack Lawrence.

Frank Sinatra's 1939 recording of the song became a huge hit in 1943, when it was reissued by Columbia Records during the 1942-43 musicians' strike. The record peaked in the Billboard top two.

In a 1944 interview, Sinatra said of the delayed success of the song, "That was the song, a few days after Harry James and myself recorded it, that gave us our walking papers out of the old Victor Hugo Cafe (a major entertainment venue of the 1930s) on the Sunset Strip in Hollywood. The manager came up and waved his hands for us to stop. He said Harry's trumpet playing was too loud for the joint and my singing was just plain lousy and fired Harry, me and the entire band on the spot. He said the two of us couldn't draw flies as an attraction, and I guess he was right - the room was as empty as a barn. It's a funny thing about that song. The recording we made of it 5 years ago is now one of the top spots among the best sellers. But it's the same old recording. It's also the song I auditioned with for Tommy Dorsey, who signed me on the strength of it. And now it's my first big record."

The lyrics:

All or nothing at all

Half a love never appealed to me

If your heart never could yield to me

Then I'd rather have nothing at all

All or nothing at all

If it's love there ain't no in-between

Why begin and cry for something that might have been

No I'd rather have nothing at all

Please don't put your lips so close to my cheek

Don't smile or I'll be lost beyond recall

The kiss in your eyes the touch of your hand makes me weak

And my heart may grow dizzy and fall

And if I fell under the spell of your call

I would be caught in the undertow

So you see I've got to say no

All or nothing at all

Diana Krall - Boy From Ipanema (Live In Rio)

Diana Krall has had a long time fascination with bossa nova, a type of music which perfectly suits her sophisticated yet sensual style. This culminated in her new studio album Quiet Nights (released by Verve in spring 2009) and in this stunning concert filmed in the home of the bossa nova, Rio de Janeiro, in November 2008. Accompanied by her band and an orchestra, Diana Krall delivers a superb set of standards in true bossa nova style but clearly bearing her unique stamp. 

"Garota de Ipanema" ("The Girl from Ipanema") is a well-known bossa nova song, a worldwide hit in the mid-1960s that won a Grammy for Record of the Year in 1965.

It was written in 1962, with music by Antônio Carlos Jobim and Portuguese lyrics by Vinicius de Moraes. English lyrics were written later by Norman Gimbel.

Ipanema is a seaside neighborhood located in the southern region of the city of Rio de Janeiro.

When sung by female artists the song has often been rendered as "The Boy from Ipanema", such as by Shirley Bassey, Peggy Lee, Petula Clark on the Muppet Show, and Diana Krall on her 2009 album Quiet Nights.

The lyrics:

Tall and tan and young and handsome

The boy from Ipanema goes walking

And when he passes, each girl he passes goes ahah

When he walks, he's like a samba

He swings so cool and sways so gently

That when he passes, each girl he passes goes ahah

Oh, but I watch him so sadly

How can I tell him I love him

Yes, I would give my heart gladly

But each day when he walks to the sea

He looks straight ahead, not at me

Tall and tan and young and handsome

The boy from Ipanema goes walking

And when he passes, I smile

But he doesn't see, no doesn't see

Oh, but I watch him so sadly

How can I tell him I love him

Yes, I would give my heart gladly

But each day when he walks to the sea

He looks straight ahead, not at me

Tall and tan and young and handsome

The boy from Ipanema goes walking

And when he passes, I smile

But he doesn't see, no doesn't see
