Don't Know Why - Norah Jones - MP3 instrumental karaoke

“Don’t Know Why” by Norah Jones is one of the most recent songs to be accepted into the canon of jazz standards. It was written by singer-songwriter Jesse Harris and first appeared on his 1999 album Jesse Harris & the Ferdinandos. But it was Norah Jones’s longing, intimate performance on her 2002 debut studio album Come Away With Me that propelled the song into the public consciousness. Norah Jones’s version of “Don’t Know Why” was released as the first single off the album, quickly becoming a massive critical and commercial success and peaking at Number 30 on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart. The recording, produced by Arif Mardin, Jay Newland, Craig Street, and Norah Jones herself, showcases her expressive voice as well as her piano playing. In 2003, the track won three Grammy Awards for Record of the Year, Song of the Year, and Best Female Pop Vocal Performance. It went on to become an enduring classic, covered by artists such as Smokey Robinson.
