The story behind
Chet Baker recorded this song in 1954, on an album called Chet Baker Sings. The song is called I Fall in Love Too Easily, and it sounds like it was written for jazz. The lyrics are short, only sixteen bars, but in each one there is something that makes you stay. He recorded it in a studio in San Francisco, and Baker's voice makes it sound softer than a summer breeze. The song became part of his repertoire, and he often played it. Although it is not his most famous song, it is one of the ones that suits him best. People keep playing it, and many people listen to it on the radio. The song was written in 1944, and since then it has been interpreted by many, from Frank Sinatra to Barry Manilow, and even Melody Gardot. It is a song that is repeated, but it always has something new to say.
