"My Funny Valentine" is a show tune from the 1937 Richard Rodgers and Lorenz Hart musical ''Babes in Arms'' in which it was introduced by former child star Mitzi Green. The song became a popular jazz standard, appearing on over 1300 albums performed by over 600 artists, including Chet Baker, Bill Evans, Duke Ellington, Frank Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald, Andy Williams, Shirley Bassey, Miles Davis, Etta James, Nico, Chaka Khan, Elvis Costello, and Rickie Lee Jones. In 2015 it was announced that the Gerry Mulligan quartet featuring Chet Baker's version of the song will be inducted into the Library of Congress's National Recording Registry for the song's "cultural, artistic and/or historical significance to American society and the nation’s audio legacy". ==Structure== The song is usually performed in C minor, although B minor is also fairly common; Frank Sinatra recorded it in that key and the theatrical version was in B minor. Ella Fitzgerald recorded in G minor. The basic structure of the song on a C minor tonic is as follows: * C-, C-maj7, C-7, C-6, Abmaj7, F-7, D-7(b5), G7(b9) * ditto thru to the F-7, then Db9, Bb7(b9) * (bridge) Ebmaj7, F-7, G-7, F-7, Ebmaj7, F-7, G-7, F-7, Ebmaj7, G7(+5),C-,(Bb7,A7) Abmaj7, D-7(b5) G7, * C-, C-maj7, C-7, C-6, Abmaj7, D-7(b5) G7(b9), C-, Bb-7 A7, Abmaj7, F-7, Bb7(b9), C-7 (preferred, or Ebmaj7) This simple and classic structure makes it easy to adapt to other genres and for jazz musicians to improvise over the established chords. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「My Funny Valentine」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
