I work with a vocalist that does a tune called "Midnight at the Oasis".

Last night when we were young
THough the tune was a hit once (I am not Sinatra's fan but this he made a very good version and Tony Bennett did it too)..
I actually never heard it... first time I heard it a week or so ago in very beautiful and touching solo guitar version by Joel Fass
You can check it by this link

There's also Kenny Burrell version on nylon string... it's goo. But I love Joel's better.

If every song mentioned was also a vocal standard, I must say I've got a lot of listening to do.

I love this tune (and lyric). This was the first standard I learned and I still play (and sing) it. Don't do anything special with it, just love to play it. (Take it a bit more up than Anita O'Day does here, but she gives the lyric its due.)
Here's Norah Jones playing it with Marian McPartland.
-
I love that one. I associate with a very young Sarah Vaughan with Bird and Diz.
-
I am really digging Nat King Cole's album "Tell Me All About Yourself". Almost every tune on there is a not so well known standard. My favorites are:
The Best Thing For You (probably the most played tune on the album)
Crazy, She Calls Me (really beautiful ballad)
Dedicated To You
Until The Real Thing Comes Along
great arrangements, swinging band, and a master singing some great material. What more can you want?
-
Those are some nice tunes. Crazy He Calls Me was covered by Linda Ronstadt on one of her standards albums with Nelson Riddle. If you want to hear standards sung by a great voice, as they were written, that whole series is essential. It's tragic that Linda can no longer sing.

Well, two Beatles songs that should have been done by these people:
Stan Getz "Michelle"
Tom Waits "For No One"
-
I just heard this song on Facebook. It does not have vocals but it called "Savage". It is by a British Rock Group from the early sixties (I believe it was 1961). Very pre British Invasion sounding. Twangy Strats and matching suits.
Check it out

You can even swing it, and it would be in OK taste. Planning to try it on some gig...
