Body and Soul (1930 song)
"Body and Soul" is a popular song and jazz standard written in 1930 with lyrics by Edward Heyman, Robert Sour and Frank Eyton; and music by Johnny Green.
==History==
"Body and Soul" was written in New York City for the British actress and singer Gertrude Lawrence, who introduced it to London audiences. Published in England, it was first performed in the U.S. by Libby Holman in the 1930 Broadway revue ''Three's a Crowd''.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Body and Soul )〕 Louis Armstrong was the first jazz musician to record "Body and Soul".〔 The tune grew quickly in popularity, and by the end of 1930 at least eleven groups had recorded it.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Original versions of Body and Soul by Jack Hylton and His Orchestra - SecondHandSongs )〕
While in London, Hollywood songwriter/conductor Johnny Green wrote "Body and Soul" for Gertrude Lawrence. Jack Hylton & His Orchestra recorded the ballad first in Britain, but it was Paul Whiteman and His Orchestra (Jack Fulton, vocal) who popularized it. Their recording hit the charts on October 11, 1930, and held the number one spot for six weeks.〔http://www.jazzstandards.com/compositions-0/bodyandsoul.htm〕
"Body and Soul" remains a jazz standard, with hundreds of versions performed and recorded by dozens of artists. Classic vocal recordings include those of Ella Fitzgerald, Annette Hanshaw, Billie Holiday, Billy Eckstine, Etta James, Sarah Vaughan (for the 1954 album, ''Sarah Vaughan with Clifford Brown'' and the 1957 album, ''Swingin' Easy'') and Frank Sinatra, and such musicians as Benny Goodman, Lee Konitz, Bill Evans, John Coltrane, (on his 1964 album, ''Coltrane's Sound'',〔http://www.discogs.com/John-Coltrane-Coltranes-Sound/release/4037208〕) Charles Mingus, Thelonious Monk, Stan Kenton, Royce Campbell, and Lester Young contributed notable instrumental recordings. The Manhattan Transfer sang it on their album ''Extensions'' in 1979, with lyrics honoring both Hawkins and Eddie Jefferson. To this day, "Body and Soul" is the most recorded jazz standard.〔 (This is one of the few big hits that had a number of different versions of the lyric.)
