Looking for song suggestions for piano and singing 🎤🎹

L-M

Hi everyone!
I’m looking for songs that are great for piano and vocals — something that sounds good when playing and singing at the same time. I’m open to any genre, just something that works well in a solo setting.
What are your favorite songs to sing and play on piano? Would love to hear your recommendations! 🙂

I love this:

So simple, so awesome.

"What a Wonderful World" made famous by Louis Armstrong. A while ago my teacher handed out an arrangement for easy piano. The LH has easy fillers. I like the song but the arrangement is rather boring so went to a piano store and got another arrangement.

"Blue Skies" by Irving Berlin in 1928. It's a nice song that is rather melancholy. The lyrics is positive and optimistic but the song starts off in Em.

"Sound of Silence" by Simon & Garfunkel in 5 verses.

"Imagine" by John Lennon. It's a nice song written during the Vietnam War as a protest song. Some Christians find the lyrics offensive talking about no heaven, no hell & no religion. Besides that I like the song. An alternative is "Blowing in the Wind" by Bob Dylan.

"Over the Rainbow" by Harlen & Arburg. A version was sung by Judy Garland in the movie "Wizard of Oz".

"Climb Ev'ry Mountain" from the musical "Sound of Music".

Elton John is always good:

This is from about five years ago. I'm not super happy with my singing in this one, but it's fun anyway.

Since you like Steve's Lava Chicken, maybe you would like this. Both the piano and singing parts are easy.

When I first started piano, I actually did a fair amt of singing and playing.
The Beatles are good. I’m female but somehow I managed Hey Jude and Let It Be.

Carole King fits my range perfectly, so I used to love singing “So Far Away,” among others. I have a really nice score of the whole album Tapestry that’s nicely arranged for piano and vocals.

And I loved doing Christmas carols.

For more contemporary tunes, I mostly sang in Japanese so I can’t help you there.

I should do some singing again. My voice is probably very out of practice though…
