Strangers In The Nights...easy to play?

[Tahitijack]

I have only been playing keys for a couple of years. I tend to enjoy playing ballads from the Great American Songbook. Sunday I started playing Strangers In The Night and it seemed relatively easy to learn both the melody and harmony.

What is your opinion of this song and do you have a song that is easy to play, well known and easily recognized?

I have been playing that tune for many years. It is a feel good piece to play.
Vary the styles and voices and you can really jazz it up.
I quite like a bossa version played with a sultry sax. I think a tad faster than Frank Sinisters version too.

Try Spanish Eyes. Bye Bye Blackbird, Fly Me To The Moon.
These can all be spiced up and make the sound exciting.
I could list another 1000 titles if you like, but need to move on . .

Yes...Fly Me To The Moon is also on my easy to play list!
