Stormy Monday Blues

About Stormy Monday Blues

"Stormy Monday Blues" is a jazz song first recorded in 1942 by Earl Hines and His Orchestra with Billy Eckstine on vocals. The song was a hit, reaching number one in Billboard magazine's "Harlem Hit Parade", making it Hines' only appearance in the charts. "Stormy Monday Blues" is performed in the style of a slow blues that "starts with Hines' piano and a walking bass for the introduction". Billy Eckstine then enters with the vocal: The lyrics "stormy" or "Monday" do not appear in the song. A trumpet solo by Maurice "Shorty" McConnell with big band backing is featured in the second half of the song. Eckstine later recorded "Stormy Monday Blues" in 1959 with Count Basie for their Basie/Eckstine Incorporated album. The song has sometimes been confused with T-Bone Walker's 1947 song "Call It Stormy Monday (But Tuesday Is Just as Bad)", which is frequently shortened to "Stormy Monday" or "Stormy Monday Blues". more »

You were the sunshine, baby, whenever you smiled
But I call you Stormy today 
All of a sudden that ole rain's fallin' down
And my world is cloudy and gray 
You've gone away 
Oh Stormy, oh Stormy 
Bring back that sunny day

Yesterday's love was like a warm summer breeze
But, like the weather ya changed
Now things are dreary, baby 
And it's windy and cold
And I stand alone in the rain
Callin' your name
Oh Stormy, oh Stormy 
Bring back that sunny day

Oh Stormy, oh Stormy 
Bring back that sunny day

Bring back that sunny day

Oh Stormy
Oh Stormy
