Michael Bublé’s introduction to the music of the swing era came to him through his grandfather, who filled his grandson’s ears with the sounds of The Mills Brothers, Ella Fitzgerald, Frank Sinatra, and others. As Bublé eagerly absorbed the recordings, he began to realize that he wanted to be a singer and that this style of music, virtually foreign to his own generation, was what he wanted to perform.
With his grandfather’s assistance, Bublé soon learned a whole catalog of tunes and gained experience and exposure by singing as a guest with several local bands. While still in his teen years, he won the Canadian Youth Talent Search, released several independent albums, and performed in a musical review titled Swing that traveled across the U.S. It wasn’t long before Bublé was introduced to Grammy-winning producer David Foster during a famous Canadian wedding of Brian Mulroney’s daughter Caroline Mulroney. He later signed his first major recording contract with Reprise Records after that encounter.
The two Canadians began work on a debut album that would incorporate Bublé’s aptitude for pop standards into songs that spanned several decades. His self-titled debut disc was released in early 2003, and featured jazzy takes on old standards like “Fever” and “The Way You Look Tonight” as well as newer classics like “Moondance” and “How Can You Mend A Broken Heart”.
He finished off 2003 with an EP of holiday material, Let It Snow, and began 2004 with the live CD/DVD set Come Fly With Me. In 2005, It’s Time was a number one hit in Canada, Japan, Italy, and Australia, and made the top ten of both the UK and US. Later that year he released the live album Caught in the Act. More recently, Michael received a 2010 Grammy Award for 'Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album' for 'Michael Bublé Meets Madison Square Garden.
Come Fly With Me
Michael Bublé Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If you can use some exotic booze
There's a bar in far Bombay
Come fly with me
Let's fly, let's fly away
Come fly with me, let's float down to Peru
In lama land, there's a one man band
Come fly with me, let's take off in the blue
Once I get you up there
Where the air is rarefied
We'll just glide
Starry eyed
Once I get you up there
I'll be holding you so near
You may hear the angels cheer
Because we're together
Weather wise it's such a lovely day
Just say the words and we'll beat those birds
Down to Acapulco bay
It's perfect, for a flying honeymoon, they say
So come fly with me
Let's fly, let's fly away
(Oh, come on and fly)
Once I get you up there
Where the air is rarefied
We'll just glide
Starry eyed
Once I get you up there
I'll be holding you so near
You may hear all the angels cheer
Because we're together
Weather wise it's such a lovely day
You just say those words and we'll beat those birds
Down to Acapulco bay
It's so perfect, for a flying honeymoon, they say
Come fly with me
Let's fly, let's fly
Pack up, let's fly away

Michael Buble is bringing in this age the return of "legitimate singing".........the clarity and smoothness voice with songs that are uplifting and not at all depressing like what prevails nowadays. He's simply great!
@peterholwill1170

@77anthonyh
He is our generations Sinatra. Although there will never be another one like Frank, he is an excellent musician
@Vahansetyan
He eclipsed Sinatra and the rest of the pack. There never will be another Michael Buble.
@andersonarnold6431
não me canso de ouvir essa musica
@UnknownGirlWatchingYt
I love his voice, I could listen to him for hours!
@HcoreSouljah
Love the Sinatra and Buble version. Both are amazing.
@JohannaAFlorez
Their different voices both really fit this song and style but in different ways. I think Michael's voice is warmer and brighter but Sinatra had that smooth, classic sound. They're both so good :)
@yerboiernie404
Dont forget about Seth MacFarlane
