19 notesStanley Turrentine - Love For Sale (with Grant Green*guitarist*)
i must have spammed your dashbored with endless versions of this song
its abviously one of my favorite jazz songs
funny thing about this song, its actually taken from a Broadway musical play ”The New Yorkers ” written by Cole Porter from the viewpoint of a prostitute advertising various kinds of “love for sale”.
in fact the song was banned from radio in the early 30s
‘Love for Sale’ was covered by many jazz legends such as Billie Holiday,Ella Fitzgerald,Tony Bennett,Miles Davis,Dexter Gordon,Dinah Washington, Aretha Franklin,Frank Sinatra and many more.
