MISS YOU

from FRENCH TOUCH

Written by Mick Jagger & Keith Richards

 

“Miss You” was a fantastic, disco-influenced anthem by the legendary Rolling Stones. Co-written by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards, “Miss You” was the first single released from the band’s 1978 Some Girls album. The song was an instant smash reaching #1 on Billboard’s Hot 100 and selling more than one million copies in the US alone. “Miss You” went to #3 on the UK Singles chart and became a huge worldwide hit.

CRAZY

from FRENCH TOUCH
written by Willie Nelson

“Crazy” is an evergreen that belongs in the songbook of country legend Willie Nelson. Nelson wrote “Crazy” in early ’61 when the future superstar was just a 28 year old songwriter based in Nashville .

That same year, another country superstar, the late Patsy Cline (September 8, 1932 to March 5, 1963), recorded “Crazy” and scored a big hit with that beautiful ballad which attracted both pop and country lovers. Ms. Cline’s definitive rendition of the song reached #2 on the Country chart, #2 on the Easy Listening chart and #9 on Billboard’s Hot 100. With an unique blend of jazz, country and pop plus the power of its gorgeous and complex melody, “Crazy” quickly became a standard covered by dozens of stars including Linda Ronstadt, Neil Young, Julio Iglesias, LeeAnn Rimes and Diana Krall.
