Composed by W.C. Handy. Arranged by Timothy Stapay. Blues,Film/TV,Jazz,Singer/Songwriter,Standards. Score. 8 pages. Timothy Stapay #820575. Published by Timothy Stapay (A0.1224471).

This arrangement of St. Louis Blues is written as performed by piano artist, Liberace.  He performed this on his t.v. show and record albums. 

The Saint Louis Blues (or St. Louis Blues) is a popular American song composed by W. C. Handy in the blues style and published in September 1914. It was one of the first blues songs to succeed as a pop song and remains a fundamental part of jazz musicians' repertoire. Benny Goodman, Louis Armstrong, Cab Calloway, Bing Crosby, Bessie Smith, Eartha Kitt, Count Basie, Glenn Miller, Guy Lombardo, Liberace, and the Boston Pops Orchestra (under the directions of both Arthur Fiedler and Keith Lockhart) are among the artists who have recorded it. 

Lyrics:

I hate to see that evening sun go down, 
I hate to see that evening sun go down, 
'Cause my lovin' baby done left this town. 

If I feel tomorrow, like I feel today, 
If I feel tomorrow, like I feel today, 
I'm gonna pack my trunk and make my getaway. 

Oh, that St. Louis woman, with her diamond rings, 
She pulls my man around by her apron strings. 
And if it wasn't for powder and her store-bought hair, 
Oh, that man of mine wouldn't go nowhere. 

I got those St. Louis blues, just as blue as I can be, 
Oh, my man's got a heart like a rock cast in the sea, 
Or else he wouldn't have gone so far from me. 

I love my man like a schoolboy loves his pie, 
Like a Kentucky colonel loves his rocker and rye 
I'll love my man until the day I die, Lord, Lord. 

I got the St. Louis blues, just as blue as I can be, Lord, Lord! 
That man's got a heart like a rock cast in the sea, 
Or else he wouldn't have gone so far from me. 

I got those St. Louis blues, I got the blues, I got the blues, I got the blues, 
My man's got a heart like a rock cast in the sea, 
Or else he wouldn't have gone so far from me, Lord, Lord!

Władziu Valentino Liberace (May 16, 1919 – February 4, 1987) was an American pianist, singer, and actor.  A child prodigy born in Wisconsin to parents of Italian and Polish origin, he enjoyed a career spanning four decades of concerts, recordings, television, motion pictures, and endorsements. At the height of his fame from the 1950s to 1970s, he was the highest-paid entertainer in the world!

I have always been in awe of Louis Armstrong's (1901-1971) and Ella Fitzgerald's (1917-1996) extraordinary musicianship and creative improvisations, hence the title, I like Louis and Ella. They performed and recorded together in the 1940s through the 1960s. In the 1950s they produced three duet records: two Ella and Louis albums, and their Porgy and Bess album.

I thought the best way to begin to understand their music was to imitate them. I sought to emulate Louis' warm humanity and musical efficiency--just the right note at the right time--and Ella's skillful and musically satisfying scat singing. There is only one quote in I Like Louis and Ella, the opening trumpet statement, but the rest of the music was written as my own impressions of their unique stylings.

I am grateful to my former student, Kyle Tolstyka, for commissioning this piece to benefit the horn scholarship fund at Eastern Michigan University. Thanks go to the donors to the scholarship fund in support of this project--my former horn students, Tania Dupuis, Liesl Caarn Hansen, Dr. William Cederquist and his parents, Dr. Jack Cederquist and Meg Kennedy-Shaw. Finally, I would like to thank jazz greats Phil Sims, the engraver of this music; and Adam Unsworth, horn professor at the University of Michigan, for their invaluable advice.

No Armstrong collection would be complete without What A Wonderful World, and here it’s as stirring as ever amid sublime sax prowess... (TakeEffectReviews.com)

John Redmon and Thomas Dawson Jr. beautifully contemporizes one of the world’s most beloved songs made popular by the incomparable Louis Armstrong; the heart-warming classic What a Wonderful World.

This piano/vocal arrangement as the original recording adds a sultry splash to the Armstrong signature tune. A jazz-infused musical flare reinvents this 70s hit bringing a regenerative power to our hopes and dreams. 

A black and white concept video accompanied the single release of this tune back in 2018 and has collectively reached over 250k views. It was Redmon’s second most popular video...second to only his 1M viewer Imagine.

What a Wonderful World appears on the album Honoring Louis Armstrong featuring Louis Armstrong Impressionist John Redmon and accompanied by The Thomas J. Dawson, Jr. iOrchestra.

This version of What a Wonderful World has been popular at funerals, bars, sing-alongs, concerts, festivals and parties.

The 5:01 closer, John Lennon’s Imagine will bring a warm tear to your eye and remind you of the strong emotions Louis Armstrong was able to stir in all our hearts… this performance should (definitely) be nominated for (and WIN) awards… if I were on the judging panel, it certainly would get top honors. (Dick Metcalf, Contemporary Fusion Reviews)

Rising billboard recording artist John Redmon and legendary producer/arranger Thomas Dawson, Jr. lyrically and musically provoke a series of emotions and thought of a world free from barriers...a euphoric universe aligned in perfect harmony and sweet unity. Redmon states: I long for the day when differences don’t divide us.

This piano/vocal arrangement by Dawson takes this basic Lennon chord structure and transforms it into an orchestral masterpiece. 

This version of Imagine would be fitting as a global anthem, a cosmic salute, concerts, festivals, graduation ceremonies and liberty festivals.

John’s arrangement and performance on Just a Closer Walk with Thee (Medley) is accompanied by the Fresh Start Baptist Church male chorus, and what they bring to you is the SPIRIT’S glory! (Dick Metcalf, Contemporary Fusion Reviews)

Just a Closer Walk With Thee (Medley) is positioned to be a timeless classic that skillfully intertwines two beloved hymns: Just a Closer Walk With Thee and What a Friend We Have in Jesus.

This piano/vocal arrangement as the original recording adds an additional voice (as in duet form) creating a partnering dynamic in this prayer, this plea. Tune starts in Ab then seamlessly transitions into Db to introduce the church-staple What a Friend We Have In Jesus.

Just a Closer Walk With Thee (Medley) appears on the album Honoring Louis Armstrong featuring Louis Armstrong Impressionist John Redmon and accompanied by The Thomas J. Dawson, Jr. iOrchestra.
