SUBSCRIBE FOR MORE • / @rhyzacover • Autumn Leaves is the English-language version of the French song Les Feuilles mortes ( The Dead Leaves ) composed by Joseph Kosma in 1945. The original lyrics were written by Jacques Prévert in French, and the English lyrics were by Johnny Mercer. An instrumental version by pianist Roger Williams was a number one best-seller in the US Billboard charts of 1955. • Autumn Leaves has become a jazz standard and it is one of the most recorded songs by jazz musicians. More than a thousand commercial recordings are known to have been released by mainstream and jazz musicians. • The song became a number-one hit in the U.S. in 1955, the first piano instrumental to reach number one. It stayed at No. 1 for four weeks in the bestsellers chart. The song is said to have sold two million copies around the world, and it remains the best-selling piano record of all time. • The song was recorded steadily throughout the 1950s by leading pop vocalists including Steve Conway (1950), Bing Crosby (1950), Steve Allen (whose rendition was the only other version to chart in 1955), Nat King Cole (included in the 1955 album re-release of Nat King Cole Sings for Two in Love, and used in the 1956 film Autumn Leaves whose title was inspired by the song), Doris Day (1956), and Frank Sinatra (1957). It was also used in the 1959 film Hey Boy! Hey Girl! performed by Louis Prima and Keely Smith. A half-French half-English version was released by Édith Piaf in 1951. • The song was also quickly adopted by many instrumental jazz artists, including Artie Shaw (1950); Stan Getz (1952); Cal Tjader in his 1954 album Mambo with Tjader with Cal Tjader's Modern Mambo Quintet; Ahmad Jamal (1955); Erroll Garner in his 1955 album Concert by the Sea, Duke Ellington (1957, Ellington Indigos); Cannonball Adderley in his 1958 album Somethin' Else featuring Miles Davis who also recorded it live for Miles Davis in Europe in 1964; Vince Guaraldi (1958); Bill Evans (1959, Portrait in Jazz); John Coltrane (1962); and Ryo Fukui (1976). It became the signature tune of Ben Webster in his later career. A few jazz vocalists have also recorded the song, including Sarah Vaughan in her 1982 album Crazy and Mixed Up. • Composer Terry Riley has written a contrafact of the song (1965), using the same principle of small repetitive cells of melody and rhythm first put in use in his breakthrough piece, In C (1964). • In 2012, jazz historian Philippe Baudoin called the song the most important non-American standard and noted that it has been recorded about 1400 times by mainstream and modern jazz musicians alone and is the eighth most-recorded tune by jazzmen. • The song is the official corps song of the Bluecoats Drum and Bugle Corps. • The falling leaves • Drift by my window • The autumn leaves • Of red and gold • I see your lips • The summer kisses • The sunburned hands • I used to hold • Since you went away • The days grow long • And soon I'll hear • Old winter's song • But I miss you most of all • My darling • When autumn leaves • Start to fall • Since you went away • The days grow long • And soon I'll hear • Old winter's song • But I miss you most of all • My darling • When autumn leaves • Start to fall • #jazzstandard • #jazz • #bossanova • #blues • #cooljazz
