Currently being played on Sirius XM's Siriusly Sinatra, this song is originally from a 1928 Broadway show called 'Whoopee' which was set in California. It begins with the celebration of a wedding, honeymoon and marital bliss, but moves on to babies, responsibilities and ultimately possible divorce, ending with this judge's advice:

'You'd better keep her,
I think it's cheaper,
than 'Makin Whoopee'

- Cyndi Lauper recorded it with Tony Bennett in 2003
- It was in the film Sleepless in Seattle in 1993, recorded by Dr. John
- Michelle Pfeiffer crooned this song in a red dress in The Fabulous Baker Boys in 1989 while perched atop Jeff Bridges' piano
- Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong recorded it in 1957
- Mr. Sinatra recorded a swinging rendition in 1956
- Doris Day and Danny Thomas recorded it in 1951

My version can be heard on 'Siriusly Sinatra', Sirius XM, Channel 71.

Also from this CD, 'You Don't Know What Love Is' is being played on Siriusly Sinatra. I'm so honored to be a part of the great Siriusly Sinatra playlist!

I hope you like it as much as I liked recording it for you.

From intimate supper clubs to Radio City Music Hall and every type of venue across the US and Europe, Lisa Addeo's music touches audiences of all sizes. “I adore playing ‘live’. As my music fills the room, the audience fills my heart.”

Inspired by the romance of the words and the charming melodies of these love songs from The Great American Songbook, Lisa swoons with Frank Sinatra's vintage microphone in the same studio where Ol' Blue Eyes himself recorded these timeless classics... Studio A at Capitol Records tower - the hottest ticket in town!

Accompanying herself on Capitol Studios' grand piano and backed on upright by Alex Frank (Dave Damiani, Jeff Goldblum) and Ryan Shaw on Drums (Michael Bublé) Lisa Addeo delivers 12 love songs and joins forces with Capitol Records' legendary engineer Steve Genewick to deliver a deliciously smooth collection of timeless standards.

"It was a riveting experience to record the same songs Frank Sinatra recorded in the exact same studio while singing into his vintage microphone", states Addeo. "With legendary engineer Steve Genewick behind the board at Capitol Studios in Hollywood and my talented sidemen, the project took on a delicious and dreamy sound...A Kind Of Daydream."

It's a dream come true to be played nationally alongside these giants. They are truly musical royalty. I adore these sweet melodies and heart stopping lyrics".
