Talk:Stormy Weather (song)

message: "Patterned after Dorade but with two feet additional beam, Stormy Weather's final form was the result of intensive tank testing with models. After an unimpressive finish in the 1934 Bermuda Race, her international career took off with back-to-back Trans-Atlantic and Fastnet victories in 1935 (both skippered by Rod Stephens). Stormy Weather proved to be a wonderfully comfortable ocean cruiser; the installation of a navigator's compartment at the foot of the companionway was but one idea that made her such a convenient and pleasant vessel. In the view of at least one expert (rival naval architect John Alden), "a better design would be impossible to achieve!" from S&S website.

thread_title: Also a Yacht by the name Stormy Weather

message: I removed the following from the article:
The title was (possibly) taken from the name of a yacht: "Stormy Weather".
Encyclopedias do not contain unreferenced statements that are "possibly" true.  If anyone can provide any kind of reference on discussion of this then it'd be great for the article.

thread_title: "Possibly"

message: Does anyone know if the song My Melancholy Blues by the band Queen is somewhat inspired by Stormy Weather? Cause it has the line "Don't try to stop me, cause I'm heading for that stormy weather soon". 24.189.90.68 (talk) 08:39, 10 May 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: Homages

message: I imagine this article isn't much followed. I removed the section "Fats Comet cover", a cover by a minor short term band with a short playlist ("Google it").
It took some kind of chutzpah for a user, even a long-term user, to add a big section lauding a minor band to the Wikipedia page for a famous song covered by many famous artists. -- Cecropia (talk) 16:43, 8 October 2017 (UTC)
thread_title: Fats Comet Cover

message: SecondHandSongs lists over 500 covers of Stormy Weather, many with free audio versions on YouTube or Spotify.Stormy Weather (Keeps Rainin' All the Time)  Some of these must be worthy of inclusion in the list at Stormy Weather (song)#Notable recordings.  That site also includes "Leo Reisman's orchestra version had the biggest hit on records (with Arlen himself as vocalist)", and an Ethel Waters' 1933 version.Ethel Waters; Reisman with Arlen<

replies: text: Stormy Weather (song) →  – Dab from Stormy Weather (Echo & the Bunnymen song) and five other songs at Stormy Weather (disambiguation)#Music. Also fine with Stormy Weather (1933 song) - it's unclear to me whether the relevant clause from WP:SONGDAB about old songs applies here * Pppery * it has begun... 16:35, 27 February 2024 (UTC)
