"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: :It's gone and started rainin', I'm as lonesome as a man can be :It's gone and started rainin', I'm as lonesome as a man can be :'Cause every time it rains, I realize what you mean to me Of note, 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.〔 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".〔 〕 When Eckstine later recorded "Stormy Monday Blues" in 1959 with Count Basie for their ''Basie/Eckstine Incorporated'' album, the song was credited to T-Bone Walker, even though Eckstine is a cowriter of the original.〔 〕 ==See also== *List of number-one R&B singles of 1942 (U.S.) 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「Stormy Monday Blues」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
