Janet0312 Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 When Lauren Bacall is singing "Maybe it's better this way...", Hoagy Carmichael and a woman leaning on the piano are saying something to Lauren while she is singing. Does anybody know what they're saying? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anybody know what they're saying? This question has been asked before and my understanding is that both are doing a form of scat singing as back-up to the singing Bacall is doing.

Janet0312 Posted November 15, 2016 Author Share Posted November 15, 2016 Scat singing? Well, uh, thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesJazGuitar Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 Scat singing? Well, uh, thanks. I assume you're being sarcastic and that is fine. I was just recalling what I remember reading at this forum about that. Maybe it was something else. Hopefully someone who has seen this scene recently has more insight.

LawrenceA Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 Here's the scene in question, although the sound looks to be out of sync. It does appear to be some kind of backup/ scat singing or in another language. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scsu1975 Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 I just never heard of scat singing. Listen to the great Ella Fitzgerald. She was a master at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
