- It is our YT friend's request:
Al HOFFMAN (1902--1960) - composer of this great American hit of 1940s. He was a songwriter in the 1930s, 40s and 50s, usually co-writing with others. Hoffman was born in Minsk - formerly Poland, now Belarus. His family -- like many other Jewish families living in Russia occupied territories - emigrated to the US. They lived in Seattle, Washington, and when he graduated from high school, he started his own band, playing the drums. In 1928 Al moved to New York City to pursue his music career. Though he continued playing the drums in night club bands and selling bagels door-to-door on Broadway, he began writing songs, collaborating with such other songwriters as Leon Carr, Leo Corday, Mann Curtis, Mack David, Al Goodhart, Walter Kent, Sammy Lerner, Jerry Livingston, Bob Merrill or Ed Nelson.
In 1934 he moved to London to work on stage productions and movies, co-writing the hit songs "She Shall Have Music" and "Everything Stops For Tea". He returned to the U.S. three years later. His best kown songs are "Heartaches" (1931), "Auf Wiedersehen, My Dear" (1932), and "I Saw Stars" (1934).

Ted Weems & His Orchestra, whistle by Elmo Tanner - Heartaches (J. Klenner/ Al Hoffman), Decca 1938
I used to hear this on the radio when I was a kid, during WW2. Never forgot it. Great to hear it again. Thanks You Tube. Love that rhythm.
It’s so cool how people of all ages can enjoy this, whether you heard it first in 2021 or 80 years before.
@@ethanfanning9360 No kiddin', ain't that the truth.
Commented 8 years ago? Rip if you are gone. I enjoy the music as a twenty something
@@danfurtado9158 so sad if they’ve now passed but also, it’s amazing how UA-cam gives us the ability to see a comment like this!
@@danfurtado9158 He must have died...
I think it's just a burning memory...
Yooooo
Shut up
lol true
It is
NOOOOOO- :sobs:
Some songs are totally ageless and this is one of them. People will still be happily listening to this one in the year 3000.
Or maybe people will be talking about how this song is related to dementia and how Everywhere at The End of Time popularized it
One of my favorite songs of all time.
I can’t believe this song is only getting recognized now, it should have been more popular
I hate how much of a “meme” this song has become because it’s genuinely a such great song. Way more catchy then most pop songs today anyway.
Agreed, wish this song was left alone. (As in using it in "memes" of course.)
I kinda love 30's music
this song is so much joy ;)
and i'm 40years old
Great song!!!..I love both versions..'38 and '47.
actually 33 and 38. Both big hits in 47
always one of my favorites.the drums in background &whistling is superb.
The drums in the background are great.
I’m barely turning into a teen next year at 13 and I love this music. I have a radio from the 1940s my grandpa gave to me. It was his mom’s first. I think I have an old soul.
Oh my goodness I am freaking in love with this song/piece.
I'm talking like listening to this on repeat for hours love.
Can anyone recommend any similar sounding songs/pieces?
@VonSmore everywhere at the end of times is a good album that has a song like this plus a lot of other ones but it. gets really creepy after 2 hours so don't go past that point please if you want a pleasant experience
Many more on you tube. Type in Ted Weems.
A song I love that does not sound like this but that is great is Annette Hanshaw's song "Little White Lies." I could listen to it forever.
Vera Lynn "We´ll Meet Again"
I remember hearing this a lot in 1947 while in high school
richard hayes really ????????
andrea garcia
de facto, Andrea. Tengo 83 años pero todavia me gusta música desta epóca.
One of my favorites when I was in high school..
It’s amazing seeing people this old on here (in a good way of course!)
I wish I was in this era
I'm 59 and with you all the way, guy.
Great drumming especially behind Elmo. And unbelievably the static in the background actually lends to the nostalgia.
Jazz of Ted Weems is so Wonderfull , very nice & Ted Weems was handsome man , but he died in 1963 !!!!Carmen
jacksmith01 I loved this song since1946 and they don't make songs this good anymore
One of the great arrangements of all time
One of the best arrangements. Wonderful.
That drummer was one cool cat.
Well... I didn't cop a nod!
You hep?
Ted Weems was a very underrated band leader as this recording shows and Elmo Tanner is wonderful beyond belief.
Whenever I listen these type of songs I feel like I am in World War 2 time. Unbelievable music 🙏🏼
cuando yo era un nino tocaba estas bellas canciones una vitrola rca victor,gracias.
God bless you.
This brings back so many fond memories. I remember lisyening to this recording on the radio at my grandmom casey's house in philly in late 40's. It still sounds great today and is timeless. I recently heard this on the 40's channel on sirius-XM radio and thought Id check you tube. What a pleasant surprise, thank you for it. the 40's rock.
I'd love to have the water color of that group dancing that introduces this classic.
I remember, back in the early '60s, Alan Sherman did a parody of this called "Headaches, headaches, aspirin commercials give me headaches".
Dementia But Happier
We never get tired of Elmo Tanner's whistling to this song.
Simple, and happy in the GREAT DEPRESSION!!!! We can recover today, but our music is mostly crap...by the way I'm 28
Lol. What are you listening to because the music isn't crap today.
and now you're 36
Yes, popular music is feces maximus
Wonderful cheer . Thunder and lightning here this morn. Interesting, previous viewers all seem to be 58, wish I could say the same. Great suggestion by YT to start day, thanks.
Go Elmo! Such great music.
I think its just a burning memory.
Boy does that bring back memories. We all tried to whistle it like Elmo Tanner, with varying success.
I would like to thank you for posting this,and whomever requested it.
The REALLY "Good Old Days"
i get chills everythime burning memory pops up by suprise
Wait, This is from "It's just a burning memory" i cannot believe i just founded it
My sincere thanks to 240252 for posting this wonderfully memorable, genuine 5 star song for the listening pleasure of all the 1940's crowd. I first heard it circa 1947 and I kept it playing on my 45 record all night long. Elmo Tanner was from here in St. Petersburg so it was a special treat.
Barney Pfife had a Ted Weems record on Andy Griffith show. I had to google a song as I was a 40"s child and heard him on radio when mom had it on most of the day. This was the song" :HEARTACHE"... I remember er the whistling too. BREATH OF MEMORIES ... 🎶
Love this...
I love this tune and want to play it on the piano. If only I had the sheet music.
I love this one !
Thank you for sharing and for your informative notes.
the whistle is mesmerizing.
Love this song really classic sound I guess they whistle, thats a talented whistler!
I really like the artwork for this song. I feel as though I am there, a part of the 1930s.
Ted Weems originally recorded this on 8/4/33 and released it -- unsuccessfully -- as Bluebird 5131. Reissued in 1947 as Victor 2175, it soared to #1 and remained there for 13 of its 20 weeks on the charts! Decca, eager to cash in, released their own version, as Weems was by then a Decca artist. It was the 1933 recording, though, that sold a million. Weems looked like a deadly dull banker, but man, did he have a great band and sense of humor! Weems, born in 1901, died in 1969.
you daed ?
Nice whistling. 👍
this song is amazing !! My daughter is in love with this song ! She plays it over and over again 😂💗
I can remember hearing this in 1947 even though I was only 4 years old and I've loved ever since!!! TenStarsplus !!!!!!
I am a time traveler who went to the past and yes the music does sound like this
Love this piece!
This recording charted at #1 during March 1947. Yes, a re-issue of this 1938 recording reached #1 nine years after.
Sadly, the future is no longer what it was. Now it's just a burning memory...
Shut up
Love this song!
La escucho una y mil veces. Lo veo a mí papá con sus 20 años y yo parada en la cuna. Con este tema lo tengo al lado mío. Gracias ❤️❤️❤️
These drums are amazing!
Thanks for reaffirming that Elmo Tanner was blind. I knew it, but couldn't find any info on him. Wonderful
Such a classic. So playful and bright
Beautiful melody! Love the whistling!
Super excellent
Guys, I think this gave me dementia....
Yo sabía de esta melodía desde los años cuarenta, en mi primera infancia. Sesenta años después aún sabía entonarla, pero había olvidado absolutamente su nombre y el artista. Deseoso de tener la grabación en mi pc, un día llamé a una radio emisora y le expliqué el problema al locutor del momento. Me pidió que le silbara la melodía. Yo a mis setenta años, apenas si pude. A los dos primeros compases, él ya sabía de qué se trataba. Y así fue cómo después la encontré en UA-cam.
Miguel Antonio González San Martín, de Chile. que historia tan agradable ... Saludos desde México ... yo la encontré por casualidad y la pongo a cada rato
I am a big fan of vintage Jazz, thanks
much for posting. I Love the video
oh man i love this Song....Elmo tanner is one of my favorite whistlers...thank you so much for posting this video:)
If you think of it: apparently simple, but very effective... Thanks for the upload.
i just found this while searching for background music from the 30s to put in an analog video. Can't believe i stumbled across the song that inspired "It's just a burning memory"
Love Elmo Tanner in this melodious gift of whistling that he attained absolute love it.
Que impresionante versión de este tema!! ¡buenísimo! Gracias mil!
In 1947, a disc jockey decided to play this record repeatedly and it became a hit all over again and was reissued.
Penas del corazón, la canción preferida de mi viejo querido que se fue hace dos días y escuchando esto lo recordaré por siempre. Con Él aprendí el gusto por las buenas melodías.
Te amo viejo y donde quiera que estés estos sonidos te acompañarán por siempre.

guslynne D'Alessandro lamento la perdida de tu viejo ... y gracias por la traducción PENAS DEL CORAZON ... saludos desde México
Wow , what posting. I'll bet that's the only top tune that didn't have to be hummed by the music lovers of the day. It could be as Lauren Bacall said to Bogie in a movie, just put your lips together and blow,
One of the great classic tunes. I heard this song first sung by Brenda Lee in or around 1962 in an up-tempo style possibly inspired by this record?
Talk about ahead of it's time! Weems first cut "Heartaches" on 8/4/33 and released it as Bluebird 5131. Then, in 1938, he cut it again and released the second version as Decca 2020. Both versions flopped -- but then, in March 1947, both were reissued and BOTH versions reached #1! And Elmo Tanner whistled on both recordings. "Heartaches" was revived as a vocal in 1961 by The Marcels, of "Blue Moon" fame; their recording reached #7.
And Elmo Tanner the Whistler great combo Ted and Elmo
Marvelous number. Thank you.
😃😃❗️Que maravilla cómo silba el tipo !!😍 😍 😍
Everywhere at the end of time
Of all the great songs that I remember from the early years of my life [born 1937], this is one of two that stand out. The other was Paul Whiteman's fantastic 1920 version of Whispering, which to my mind has never been bettered. And it doesn't get any better than Elmo Tanner along with Ted Weems on this recording of Heartaches.
This is the best version. The 1947 is too fast.
Used to deliver my paper route and whistle this thru 54 customers.
Grew up in the 60s listening to 78s of all the best.
The late 60s and early 70s had thebest music plus these old greats.
This would be great for another EATEOT stage!
That's Elmo Tanner whistling!
+jwsterling39 I read Tanner got $5 for this
+m lane Probably not bad money in those days -- but still not commensurate with the talent!
jwsterling39 yeah it was about 83 dollars back then
@@mistercash1000 that would be $93 in 2020
Beautiful! Thanks!
Did you know I'm using this For my Eatot fan project?
Ted Weems. My god does that dredge up a memory from the dim distant past. I remembered that this was a huge hit around 60 years ago but couldn't remember the exact year. Thanks to Kenroy2 for reminding me that it was l947 and the other information I never knew about.
Popular song at long ago high school dances or "socials," boys' clammy hands reaching nervously as we did a choppy, awkward fox or lindy. Phonograph in last image is exactly like the one I had in college. One day it caught on fire (probably from some hot music) and that was Das Ende. :((
Clyde Mcphatter. 50's version ---- Magnificent!
il fischio di Elmo Tanner è bellissimo!
Bonnie Ann Shaw was featured whistling on "Heartaches", which was on track number four of the 1956 Ted Weems album: "The Man From The South", on Bally Records Number BAL 12007. There were several versions of "Heartaches" issued. The 1938 issue was 2:41, the 1947 issue was 2:57, and the 1956 issue was 2:14. You can easily identify the Bonnie Ann Shaw version by it's relatively short (2:14) length. If you or anyone you may know could upload this RARE 2:14 length version I would really appreciate it.
You missed the 33 version
this is a favorite mine
I posted a nice comment a while ago but so far it's lost in YT's vast waiting room.
Howdy, 24---
I'm Al Hoffman's grand-nephew and biographer; thanks for posting this. Should point out that Al's biggest hit was "Mairzy Doats", a 1944 phenomenon co-written with Jerry Livingston and Milton Drake. Cheers and thanks again...
Just thought I would go and search for the oldest upload of Heartaches on UA-cam.
Literally only saw one comment of Everywhere at The End of Time from Erik Thele.
I love the montage, also. Thank you for posting and I think it is the only You Tube posting that has no negative comments.
That is, of the ones that I have watched
I'm glad the negative comments have gone.
i love that heart breaker now sounds extreamly creepy
Outstanding whistle by Elmo Tanner!! Listen to my whistle on my version of "Danny Boy" and on my CDs!!
Doing that would only ruin this
@@ivanhajncl8833 Elmo Tanner did whistle on the song, Ivan, and it obviously did not ruin it. It made the song very special. So I don't know what you are talking about
love this song
Is this the inspiration for just a burning memory?
Yeah. The caretaker used samples of songs for eateot
How many songs I have had blocked by others...and think the same...they would rather keep it "Quiet" and prove to us they still have the rights..anything for a dammed buck....
We had a copy of this recording as a boy - it was nearly worn out from playing....very popular at the time.
Leaving a mark here
this is what some of the soldiers of the American Military heard during the war probably, heard it when there was a Video about the Texas Raiders.

my uncle tom falconetti had said he opened the first orchestra at the at the atlantic city steele pier. my research indicates ted weems orchestra opened. my uncle tom played clarinet. he would now be about 125 yrs old, is there a way I can confirm orchestra members..
