No Orchids for My Lady

William Clarence Eckstine (July 8, 1914 – March 8, 1993) was an American singer of ballads and a bandleader of the swing era. Eckstine's smooth baritone and distinctive vibrato broke down barriers throughout the 1940s, first as leader of the original bop big-band, then as the first romantic black male in popular music. Eckstine's recording of "I Apologize" (MGM Pop Single, 1948) was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame Award in 1999. more »

No orchids for my lady
No sparkle in the wine
For other lips have told my lady
To pass beside this love of mine
So there's no rapture in our meeting
No kisses when we part
The orchids I gave my lovely lady
Were clutched on someone else's heart
