This version is by Harry Connick, Jr. and I’m sure that before you click the “play” button you’re going to be scratching your head as to what this song is, but once you hear it, you’ll really recognize it. And yes, there’s lots of instrumental – trumpets and piano and it’s just a really great rendition. I can hear this playing at a cocktail party, you know? Music and lyrics after the jump…

Some clips from an interview done with Harry Connick, Jr. on the release of the movie “P.S. I Love You” (Which I haven’t seen yet, and am currently not in the right frame of mind to see I think. Someday.)

Okay, so I lied, it’s the second result, because the first one had embedding disabled. This one’s from the “When Harry Met Sally” soundtrack. He was SO YOUNG HERE!
I really love this song… not just for a love song, but totally for a “first dance” song in a wedding. It’s really great.
Remember that scene in “Love Actually”, when they’re about to leave the church, and the best man had set up a bunch of trumpet players in the pews, with a band up top, and a singer, singing? I think this song would’ve been a better choice, to …read more

Okay, so we all know what audio-gasms (otherwise referred to as eargasms) are, don’t we? Well check out these mp3’s of the sexy-smoothness that is Harry Connick, Jr. and you’re sure to find out what I mean!
“Smile” – from the Hope Floats soundtrack
Edit: Okay, I’m a ‘tard. I’ve been notified that the above mp3 is sung by Lyle Lovett, and not Harry Connick, Jr.!! It sounds so smooth and sweet, like Harry’s voice, but I double checked, and it is the country crooner Lyle, and not Harry singing it. I’m in SHOCK! I’ve heard Lyle before, and never would I …read more
Ok, so I know it’s a little past the holidays, but I found this clip on YouTube featuring Harry Connick, Jr. and Orlando Jones from a 1996 episode of MadTV.
Revs. LaMont Nixon Fatback and Dr. Michael Cassidy talk about “the true meanin’ of Chrimmah”… all the things you can do with a “Hair Connick, Joonyah” Christmas CD when you’re all alone during the holidays. At the end, they wish you “A Happy Hanukkah from Harry Connicka!”

According to a poll started Jan. 4th, and run on this site through today, Jan. 24th, 15 voters determined that Michael Buble has a better voice, hands down, over Bing Crosby given all other things considered. While I’m in agreement, in a way, I’m kind of surprised at that answer!
New poll is up on the sidebar: Does Harry Connick, Jr. truly deserve the nickname “Vice Chairman of The Board”? (see this post)
Opening Harry Connick, Jr. Crooner Week with a list of facts about the Southern crooner…
Harry’s birthday is on 9/11 (1967). His birth name is Joseph Harry Fowler Connick, Jr. and he was born in New Orleans, LA.
He’s been nicknamed “Vice-Chairman of The Board”. As you may know, Frank Sinatra is “Chairman of The Board”. What an HONOR to be equated! Apparently, Sinatra had nothing but praise for Connick, and referred to him simply as The Kid.
Gave up smoking at the insistence of fellow crooner, Mel Tormé.
He’s earned several multi-platinum and gold albums, Grammy, Tony and Emmy awards, Cable Ace, Golden …read more

Harry was one of the original “new crooners” of our time, and there’s good reason why he succeeded so well – he’s amazing.
You say to-may-to, I say to-mah-to…
