But Not for Me

Chet Baker plays But Not for Me with that soft, slightly raspy voice that makes him unique. The song is by Gershwin, written for a 1930 musical. He performed it on his album, Chet Baker Sings, released in 1954. He recorded it with a calm style, as if talking to someone. The song appears in several movies, such as Manhattan or When Harry Met Sally. It has a gentle rhythm, almost like a whisper, and can be heard in many places, with over 500 thousand plays on Last.fm. It's a song that you let play, that you let feel.
