MAKE SOMEONE HAPPY - Free Jazz Leadsheet

“Make Someone Happy,” composed by Jule Styne with lyrics by Betty Comden and Adolph Green in 1960, originated in the Broadway musical Do Re Mi. Its message emphasizes the joy and fulfillment that come from bringing happiness to others.

First performed on stage in 1960, the song quickly entered the jazz repertoire, with recordings by Tony Bennett and Judy Garland among others. Its lyrical 32-bar structure and warm melody lend themselves to expressive vocal interpretations and sensitive instrumental arrangements.
