My Foolish Heart - Rod Stewart - MP3 instrumental karaoke

"My Foolish Heart" is a famous Victor Young song with lyrics by Ned Washington. It was first performed in 1949 and has subsequently been covered by other musicians. One of the most popular recorded versions of the track is that of English singer Rod Stewart, who included it in his 2010 LP Fly Me to the Moon... The Great American Songbook Volume V. This record is part of Rod Stewart's series examining iconic American songs, which began with the release of It Had to Be You: The Great American Songbook in 2002. Rod Stewart's version follows a typical pop-jazz style, with lavish orchestration to complement his gruff, expressive singing. A song about showing vulnerability in love, "My Foolish Heart" was originally performed by singer Martha Mearts in the 1949 film by the same name. The sentimental ballad was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Original Song that year, losing to Frank Loesser's "Baby It's Cold Outside." Other notable versions include those by Bing Crosby and The Bill Evans Trio.
