Love is ev'rywhere, its magic perfume fills the air Within me there grows a rhythmic savage beat Poinciana, somehow I feel the jungle heat Poinciana, your branches speak to me of love Trees sigh to me, soon my love I will see Pete Rugulo Pony Poindexter Red Rhodes.īlow Tropic wind, sing a song to the trees Shelly Manne Edmundo Ros Sonny Stitt Robert Goulet Gato Barberi Michael Camilo Bob Florence Tom Grant ĭanny Gatton Bert Kaempfert Henry Mancini Lou Stein Les & Larry Elgart Johannes Fehring Lou Donaldson Sonny Rollins McCoy Tyner Gary Burton Ahmad Jamal Įrrol Farner Victor Feldman Alan Chase Karl Boxer Glenn Miller & The AAEF Band (vocal: Johnny Desmond) - 1944Īlso recorded by: Caterina Valente The Four Freshman įerrante & Teicher Charlie Spivak George Shearing Ĭal Tjader Michel Camilo Ray Barretto Xavier Cugat ĭave Brubeck George Braith Brian Auger Jorge Dalto A lot of well known people have recorded it over the years including David Sanborn! Heres a partial list of the people who have recorded it and the lyrics:

This is also the signature tune of jazz piano great Almad Jamal, who had a huge hit in the late 50' with it. Bing Crosby had an enormous hit with it in 2-26-44, which went to #3 on the billboard hit charts. This is what I found on the Net: Poinciana was composed by Buddy Bernier and Nat Simon in 1936. I first heard this tune when I played bass with an easy-listening band in the late '70s and I fell in love with it. Jesse, I'm not sure of the story behind Poinciana. That person can look to this tablature section for some nice C6 heads that are reasonably easy to play. I'm specifically aiming for the guy or gal who picks up a nice Supro on Ebay or one of those Artisans (a black one!) but who isn't sure what to play on it. My goal is 10 tabs of the standards variety (not that Waikiki is a standard, but you know what I mean). What can I say Craig?.except Thank You! Those January trades must be stirring your creative juices with a vigor.Sure wish I was there instead of here in rainy Seattle! Mahalo and Aloha friend. so thanks!Ĭraig thanks for all the great charts.I have been enjoying them.Ĭraig, what's the history behind that song as far as what movie or time of year it was a hit? My girlfriend and I have heard it before but can't place it? Thanks. I worked it out in A6th once but never wrote it down.The last time I tried to play it I was completely blank. It makes a refreshing change to see arrangements that are respecting the 'Song' they're taken from. Nice one Craig, you stayed 'True' to the lyrics. Thanks for your generosity and time to all of us. If you keep producing I will keep playing them. Voted Song-Most-Likely-To-Be-Played-On-A-Lap-Steel-Guitar.
