I end my last set with 'What'll I Do' and it chokes me up every time. With the simple, yet meaningful lyrics and the beautiful, haunting melody . . . And I have to give Linda Ronstadt credit for introducing me to so many classics with her collaborations with Nelson Riddle when I was in my late teens. 'What'll I Do' was one of them. Bea Arthur sings what'll i do at the rusty anchor bar | Reviewer: teresa | 6/21/2008 on the golden girls show journey to the center of attention, blanche and dorothy go to the local bar called the rusty anchor. blanche is the center of attention with all the men in the bar and dorothy is alone at a table near the piano player and he is tickling the ivories and she starts humming and then she starts singing what'll i do. i had never ever heard that song and i cried. it is on right now. my husband left me and my children after i suffered a stroke and coma and when i heard that song it really hit home. thank you dorothy. sincerely, teresa Thanks for the memory ...... | Reviewer: Barbara | 5/22/2008 Thank you - I'm always trying to remember the words of "old" songs to sing to my granddaugher - she seems to love them so. "What'll I do" just came to mind last evening and although I couldn't remember all the words, when I started singing it to her she said "grandma you have to have your arms around me when you sing that song" - I had no idea of it's background til now - "out of the mouths of babes"! Thanks for making new memories for both of us. Who else should record this song | Reviewer: Margaret Offley | 3/28/2008 Several years ago my husband and I watched a TV program on which Bernadette Peters sang this song; it was outstanding and so impressive, that it brought tears to my eyes. It does not appear that she ever recorded it, or included it in her other recordings to the best of my knowledge. She was guest host today on Regis and Kelly, and when I saw her, it reminded me of that moment long ago. I certainly wish she would record an album of Irving Berlin titles to include "What'll I Do"? Miss Peters is surely a most talented performer. Her rendition of this song was unforgettable. A real heartbreaker. | Reviewer: Anonymous | 11/4/2007 I am now listening to this song sung by Johnny Mathis for about the 15th time. I haven't heard it for over 50 years. Could never find it again. My daughter just gifted this to me on I Tunes. Many years ago I played this very same version over and over again for an old boyfriend. Now that I know the sad background for this most beautiful of songs, I'm in tears all over again. . Johnny Mathis's voice is just mesmerizing. Sadly they don't make them like this anymore. story behind the song | Reviewer: B | 10/8/2007 Irving Berlin wrote this for his mother when she died. The preamble was added to make it more of a "romance" song, but the sentiment was about losing his mother. Riddles review | Reviewer: Richard Reifenheiser | 9/5/2007 I've heard a few versions of this great tune but being a Sinatra fan i just love the emotional and classic voice of Frank doing this. :D | Reviewer: Eliac | 8/29/2007 I love this song so much! I'm singing and recording it as soon as I can get my stuff to work. Classic tune | Reviewer: john dillon | 8/9/2007 There is a wonderful version of this tune sung by Mary Steenburgen of all people in the Movie 'The Butcher's Wife' with Jeff Daniels and Demi Moore. Mary plays a frustrated saloon singer who finally follows her dream to sing in a saloon and does a lovely job on this melancholy classic. I'm learning it on guitar tonight, what a haunting old tune.
