Clint Maedgen: I Can't Give You Anything But Love

And another video in the French Quarter music series, this time Clint Maedgen sings "I Can't Give You Anything But Love,"(written originally by Jimmy McHugh in 1928) with Preservation Hall and Ben Jaffe.

It's the 2nd music video they made for Made in New Orleans: The Hurricane Sessions. This music video - made for Valentine's Day - was directed by Ron Rona & Clint Maedgen.

There are very nice shots of New Orleans French Quarter and typical New Orleans visions and images. I especially like the colors in this video. Anyway, it's a great video Valentine postcard. :)



And the lyrics (from Dorothy Fields):

I can't give you anything but love, baby.
That's the one thing I've plenty of, my baby.
Dream a while. Scheme a while.
And you will find,
Happiness, and I guess
all those things you've always pined for.

How I'd like to see you looking swell,
My little baby
Diamond bracelets Woolworth's never sell, my baby.
But till that lucky day you know darn well, my baby.
I can't give you anything but love.

I can't give you anything but love, baby.
That's the one thing I've plenty of, my baby.
Dream a while. Scheme a while.
And you will find,
Happiness, and I guess
all those things you've always pined for.


How I'd like to see you looking swell,
My little baby
Diamond bracelets Woolworth's never sell, my baby.
But till that lucky day you know darn well, my baby.
I can't give you anything
I can't give you anything
I can't give you anything but love.

and the bells ring...
