Sarah Vaughan - Lover Man (Oh Where Can You Be) Live from Holland 1958

“Lover Man (Oh, Where Can You Be?)“ (often called simply “Lover Man“) is a 1941 popular song written by Jimmy Davis, Roger (“Ram“) Ramirez, and James Sherman. It is particularly associated with Billie Holiday, for whom it was written, and her version was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 1989. Charlie Parker did a rendition of “Lover Man“, considered by many to be one of his most passionate recordings, during which he was horribly intoxicated. Parker himself considered it one of his most shameful moments. Sarah’s accompanied by Richard Davis (Bass); Ronnell Bright (Piano); and Art Morgan (Drums). I don’t know why but I’m feeling so sad I long to try something I never had Never had no kissin’ Oh, what I’ve been missin’ Lover man, oh, where can you be? The night is so cold and I’m so all alone I’d give my soul just to call you my own Got a moon above me But no one to love me Lover
