Biography

American jazz trumpeter, singer, composer, and artist. Born: 23 December 1929 in Yale, Oklahoma, USA. Died: 13 May 1988 in Amsterdam, The Netherlands (aged 58). Baker began his career in the early 1950s and played together with [a75617] and [a37733]. Unfortunately, his drug addiction hampered his career, including arrests for narcotics. From 1957 on, he had several comebacks with such musicians as [a298943], [a252017], and Gerry Mulligan with whom he had already recorded. In spite of having his teeth knocked out, Baker recovered and continued to record frequently, especially in live settings, for many different labels, including small groups and fronting large ensembles. From the 1980s until he died, he did a lot of his recordings in Europe.

LYRICS

my funny valentine
sweet comic valentine
you make me smile with my heart
your looks are laughable
un-photographable
yet you're my favorite work of art
is your figure less than Greek?
is your mouth a little weak?
when you open it to speak
are you smart?
but don't change a hair for me
not if you care me
stay little valentine
stay
each day is valentine's day
