    Default Ballad Of The Sad Young Men - Fran Landesman-Thomas Wolf

    Great tune as sung by Mark Murphy (RIP) I use intro as a 8 bar out.

    pmolsonmus,

    Thanks for posting this tune. I've loved it for a long time. As you may know, it's from a little-known 1950s Broadway musical called The Nervous Set.

    I particularly like it as sung by Mabel Mercer. I don't see her doing it on YouTube, but it's on Spotify.

    Their song Spring Can Really Hang You Up the Most is often credited to this musical, but the composers actually wrote it beforehand and later added it to the show.

    Cheers,
    Jer

    Here's another take on this great song, without an intro or interludes.

    Spring can really hang you up is another great tune! Love lots of versions, but always think of Betty Carter.
