www.playbill.co... In preparation for his guest-starring turn with the New York Pops for its concert "Cheyenne Jackson's Cocktail Hour, Music of the 'Mad Men' Era," Broadway's Cheyenne Jackson performs Irving Berlin's classic "What'll I Do?," in rehearsal with guitarist Steve Bargonetti. Curated by Jackson and Pops musical director/conductor Steven Reineke, the concert will feature a broad selection of popular music from the late 1950s and early 1960s, as well as some more modern/retro surprises.

Yes, he sings it nicely, nice voice and a kind of simple sincerity that belies his good looks--though he's looking a bit haggard here. I love the intro & he does it credit! Both La Judy and Nat Cole do great versions of this song. Note the lyrics never recycle themselves except for "...what'll I do"! Very effective and very brilliant. Berlin was a total natural.

OMG Do Me! Best Version EVER! holy cow, what a total FOX as they used to say in my day...hot, hot, hot (wearing a wedding ring) crap, lucky women grrrr

[@cference]

Who needs Michael Buble...? Cheyenne Jackson is incredible.

[@Courtneymister]

Sorry MY BAD...gay, still, who cares, lucky husband! He's still gorgeous, I remember him from United Flight 93 - as hard as that movie was to watch, I did notice him and those eyes. I always wanted to see him again, weird lol. Still best version of this tune, people usually sing it corny old fashioned style, he makes it modern.

[@princeandrey]

Yes, he sings it nicely, nice voice and a kind of simple sincerity that belies his good looks--though he's looking a bit haggard here. But to call other versions "corny" is a bit ignorant--or the judgment of a very young girl--considering the great singers who've sung this in the past. I'm reminded of something that happened in a recent Inde movie, "Tangerine," where a naive an at least ostensibly well-intentioned young girl says, simply, about a friend's (all transgender prostitutes in this funny and poignant film) song sung in her fiasco of a nightclub act that it's "kind old"! Very funny and stupid--not you, but in the movie.
