An Oscar winning song "The Way You Look Tonight" written by Dorothy Fields and Jerome Kern in the 30s for a musical "Swing Time" starring Fred
Astaire (who sang it to Ginger Rogers) has been
recorded by Hank Bilal and features Frank McComb. Billie Holiday and Ella Fitzgerald, along with a host of others, have subsequently recorded it.
It was released back on 16 Sep 2022 and was the second single pre-released from an
album "Beneath The Covers" (released on 30 Sep '22 which appears to be
his fourth album since his first in 2015) but is getting another
push by US promoters and hence is now currently getting UK
airplay.
Hank Bilal is a Columbia, SC, based Grammy nominated jazz trombonist and educator who has
shared the stage with Aretha Franklin, Chaka Khan, Gerald Albright, Christopher Williams, The Clark Sisters and
many more. He was brought up on a staple of gospel and was in the church youth choir. As well as the trombone, he sings, plays piano and other brass instruments.
Frank McComb should need little introduction as his music has been consistently played since emerging in the early noughties. His sound is a cross between
Donny Hathaway and Stevie Wonder and he first came to attention of UK
modern soul audience via a bootleg of his "The Motown Sessions" CD
recorded in 1995 which contained his take on Stevie's "Golden Lady" (another great track on the album is "Somebody Like Me"). It
was later officially released as "The Truth Vol. 2" in 2006. New
music from Frank is always highly anticipated.
