Sylvia Syms - Mad About The Boy

[Error: unknown template video]
"Mad about the boy" sung by Sylvia Syms. Wow! More of the lyrics than I'd ever heard before, including the verses.

I guess you have to be a certain kind of gay to be impressed by this. I'm one of them.

A certain kind of gay....

...that makes two of us who are impressed. I had only heard Dinah Washington's version until now. Thanks for sharing.

Sylvia Syms absolutely owns this song. Her version is so heartfelt.

The version that I have enjoyed over the years is the one sang by Lena Horne:

I am most definitely that kind of gay!

I was supposed to see her in a show in NYC and she died.

Very faboo, though you might have warned your readers that her less than interesting introduction runs 1:27...
