This 1958 recording of Josef Myrow and Mack Gordon's "You Make Me Feel So Young" from Chet Baker Sings: It Could Happen To You is identified as Take 5, indicating the care taken during these sessions to capture the ideal performance. Baker delivers a full-chorus vocal solo at a buoyant swing tempo of about 152 BPM in the key of B-flat, his phrasing light and joyful in a way that perfectly matches the song's exuberant lyric about the rejuvenating power of love. The 40-bar AABA' form, slightly longer than the standard 32-bar structure, gives Baker extra room to develop his vocal ideas, and he uses the space well, finding creative rhythmic variations while maintaining the song's infectious energy. Originally written for the 1946 film Three Little Girls in Blue and later made famous by Frank Sinatra, the tune had strong pop associations, but Baker recasts it in a thoroughly jazz context with his characteristic understatement. Pianist Kenny Drew follows with an extended solo spanning roughly 60 percent of a chorus, bringing a more harmonically adventurous approach that contrasts effectively with Baker's melodic simplicity. Drew's solo builds in intensity, adding rhythmic complexity and harmonic tension before the arrangement returns to Baker for the close. The performance captures the lighthearted, swinging side of Baker's artistry, balancing the introspective ballads that dominate much of the album.
