George Gershwin: Someone to Watch Over Me (this version: Willie Nelson)
They don't come much more classic than this Gershwin chestnut. While we didn't go in for most of the "wedding industry" madness, we had to have a song, and we asked our friend Paul Cebar to work this up, which he did eagerly.
I usually have in mind Ella Fitzgerald when I think of this song, but everybody has done it, and this is as beautiful a version as any, complete with poignant solo work. Willie's album on which it first appeared, Stardust, is an absolute must for lovers of great songs, and testifies to Willie Nelson's incredible range.
I think we've done a fair amount of watching over each other — though I've certainly needed more watching over. Just a beautiful song, and a beautiful sentiment, and a reminder of my luck whenever I hear it.
