Composition and characteristics

  All of Me is a jazz standard whose lyrics and music were written by Gerald Marks and Seymour Simons in 1931. It has an ABAC structure and was originally written in the key of B-flat major.
The melody combines the music's contradictory possibilities. The downward thrusts of the opening phrases suggest emotional despair, while the final line, with its repeated high notes, sounds almost jubilant. It usually runs in an average time.
All of Me first came to public notice when a performance by Belle Baker was broadcast on the radio in 1931. After that a few others also became successful.
Frank Sinatra recorded several versions of All of Me. Its 1948 release peaked at No. 21. He also sang it in the film Meet Danny Wilson, which may have helped Johnnie Ray's performance reach No. 12 in the charts that year. Sinatra's use of All of Me brought a non-jazz audience to the song, as did Willie Nelson, whose version was included on his Stardust album and reached No. 3 on the Hot Country Songs chart in 1978. In 2000, All of Me of Me received the Towering Song Award from the Songwriters Hall of Fame.

Very nice jazzy fingerstyle solo arrangement of the jazz standard All of Me -- in the key for G, standard tuning. This includes Mark Hanson's trademark playability, cool voicings of chords, inner voice movement and a bassline supportive of the melody. Alternating-bass largely. A very cool arrangement that was meant for Mark's Great American Songbook for Fingerstyle Guitar book/recording, but due to © issues, ended up here instead of in the book! Performance audio is on his CD: https://markhansonguitar.com/product/great-american-songbook-for-guitar-cd/.
