Nat King Cole "Smile" | Solo piano cover

My solo piano arrangement of the Charlie Chaplin song "Smile" first made famous with lyrics in 1954 when sung by Nat King Cole and covered by many artists since then. My arrangement and feel is inspired by a version of this song by Chick Corea.
Recorded on a 1992 Yamaha C7 F II with two AKG P420 dual capsule condenser microphones in A-B Stereo recording configuration.

you play the piano like an angel...This is one of my late mother's favorite songs and while I was listening, memories of my mother flashed back...how she cooked for us...how she groomed us...how she cared for us when we were sick... my life was never the same when she passed on...

I would love to hear you play more old ballads. Stardust, Someone to Watch over me, Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered. The texture of your style is perfect for these. Nice

The best piano cover on youtube I've heard, hands down. Captures everything the original says in a highly skilled and beautiful way.

[@pardonmypiano]

what preamp are you using for your mics? :)

[@anman366]

I use a really old digidesign mbox 2 (blue color) that I have had for probably over 10 years now. I hook it up to my old mac and use it with garageband.
