"I'd Fly" - Diane Schuur with Richard Cocciante on YouTube

"I'd Fly" was recorded in 1999 by Diane Schuur on Atlantic Records produced by Ahmet Ertegun, Shane Keister, and Yves Beauvais during the recording sessions for "Music Is My Life". It was decided that I'd Fly, an original French song, would not fit into an album of songs from the American Songbook, so it was not included in the album release. When Diane Schuur was making her next album for Concord Records, she played "I'd Fly" for Phil Ramone. With Ahmet Ertegun's approval, Schuur released "I'd Fly" on her "Friends For Schuur" album.

July 15, 2021, Rhino Atlantic digitally released Diane Schuur's recording of "I'd Fly" produced by Ahmet Ertegun and Shane Keister.[20]

Phil Ramone production

Personnel and production

The tracking session took place at Ocean Way Recording in Hollywood with Phil Ramone producing.[21] Richard Cocciante recorded his guest vocal for "I'd Fly" in London.[22]

Critical reception

Paula Edelstein[23] of Allmusic wrote "I'd Fly" is a definite smooth jazz hit. She sings its sexy, but beautifully contoured melody, romantic lyrics with such yearning and passion that this late-night romantic ballad should land solidly on the charts.[24]
