www.imdb.com/title/tt0035157/ - Singing is Lynn Bari. I wonder just how Ray Eberle felt that this actress came in and ripped his song off for the movie!
I was brought up listening to the Glenn Miller orchestra. Dad was in the Navy in 42' mum a factory girl in war production, both loved this music and it rubbed of on me. Still remember them dancing to it like they were still young.
This is my favorite song, and one of my favorite movies. My mother was in her 20s in the 40s, but she loved everything modern. As a child I used to get caught sneaking up in the middle of the night to watch these old black-and-white movies. I love everything to do with this time. Mother always said that I should’ve been born when she was in vice versa, lol
Ooh I loved this film so romantic , I wanted to be Ann Rutherford and always had same hairstyles & did date trumpeter but he didn't look like George Montgomery(a bit like Robert Mitchum though)I just lived for Hollywood movies & am so grateful that at the age of 83 I can still see scenes from them
The original 1942 RCA Victor recording (78rpm, 27935-A) by Glenn Miller and His Orchestra featured vocalist Ray Eberle (1919 - 1979) with backing vocals by The Modernaires (Paula Kelly, Hal Dickinson, Chuck Goldstein, Ralph Brewster and Bill Conway). This record was the year's eleventh-bestselling recording in the United States according to Billboard magazine, after having spent fifteen weeks on the Billboard charts.
This version of the song is shorter than the original soundtrack recording, which featured a "mysterioso" passage [arranged by Billy May] before the song began, and a chorus by Ray Eberle AFTER Pat Friday's vocal (again singing off-screen for Lynn Bari), followed by an extended instrumental passage before Lynn's final "vocal". The planned extended sequence of this number, featuring Bari AND Eberle, was scuttled before it was filmed.
Thanx so much, Gregory May!...for sharing one of the great band leaders of my parent's era but I so enjoy as if I were there!...ahahha...Love Glen Miller, Benny Goodman, Duke Ellington, Count Bassie and many other big band sounds, which are seldom aired anymore. This was one of my faves by GM...love the 'lazy horns' and warm overtones along with the wonderful singing.....BRAVO!!
To Gregory May: Lynn Bari didn't rip this or "At Last" from Ray Eberle. She came in and did the job she was assigned to, as a 20th Century-Fox contact player of long and esteemed standing. And, I might add, she did it beautifully.
yes, lynn, was dubbed but she was still fabulous for this number and for 'at last." also, glenn miller said that lynn's voice was terrific and doesn't understand why they dubbed her. he said she could have sang with his band anytime.
@@JeryTillotson123 Dubbed by Pat Friday. MGM did this with Eleanor Powell in her first few movies despite the fact that she was on Broadway, the radio and had made records with Tommy Dorsey.
Lynn Bari defines the word, sexy. I'm sure today's females could take a lesson from her on how to be classy and sexy at the same time. She was talented, too.
The men of the day were quite dashing too. Maybe the men of today could take a lesson how to be sensitive and gorgeous at the same time. And it wasn't Lynn Bari singing it was Pat Friday.
according to the pedia of the wiki, the song was written for the movie, and though Lynn Bari is the face on the screen, the voice is that of Pat Friday. The GM orchestra later released the song with Ray Eberle singing the lead. it seems the only consistent vocalists are the Modernaires
I'm pleased to hear that, 'gregory'. At least you have an idea of what the number was SUPPOSED to be, on screen. Shortly after production of the film was completed, in June 1942, Glenn fired Ray, for several reasons [Skip Nelson replaced him].
Lynn Bari was lip syncing. The singer was Pat Friday. Lynn Bari had a weak voice, so they subbed it with a power house of the unknowns in the vocals of the era.
Serenade in bl bl bl bluuuuuuuuuu so beautiful and sweet sexy goodness miss Lynn Bari beautiful she had that Jo Stafford vibe to her so lovely and elegant and so sophisticatedly gorgeous😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘.
It is kind of interesting, when i can listen to this sort of music, i can relax and think!, My difficult paper work just seems to flow, And I sort of lose track of the time. I am really surprised, To see,Just how much i can accomplish.
The pretty girl who is dancing with a man while she winks at and flirts with Ceasar Romero (the pianist) is Claire James. More info about her can be found at google images or at imdb..
Still was recorded by Ray with the Glenn Miller band. We associate the song with his voice with the Miller band not hers... She came in and did a job, but I was ONLY WONDERING if there might have been an ill feeling in Ray's part over it.
The song was written by Mack Gordon and Harry Warren FOR the movie, which was designed to be a showcase for Miller and his band just like "Sun Valley Serenade was when that film was made the year before this. It was AFTER the movie was filmed that the song became a pop vocal just for Eberle to sing as the band's crooner at live appearances, and Miller made the record of it for Victor six weeks after the movie sound track was recorded. Nothing was "taken away" from Ray Eberle for the movie. It "became" one of his vocal features after the filming of the movie was finished. As a popular band usually employed to play dances and entertaining radio audiences Miller's use of a female singer with the band pretty much relegated any of those he employed to singing novelty pop songs and little of anything else (I.E. languid romantic ballads like this).
I feel like I lived thru this era and and am now reliving it. I miss my aunts and uncles and parents soo much. I am living in the wrong time zone.

OMG, along with the Merrimac's how beautiful is this.

Music was so beautiful in this era. I wasn't born yet but my mother was really into popular music from the 40s and I grew up listening to this music.

Wowwww Lynn Bari.....style, class, charm... so beautiful woman and great singer
It doesn't get any better than this.

Such relaxing and lovely music!

Terrific voice. Well trained. Perfect for this number.
Thanx so much, Gregory May!...for sharing one of the great band leaders of my parent's era but I so enjoy as if I were there!...ahahha...Love Glen Miller, Benny Goodman, Duke Ellington, Count Bassie and many other big band sounds, which are seldom aired anymore.

Es la voz maravillosa de Pat Friday. No existe una música mejor que la era de las "big bands".

Halo101st
Love those little eyebrow movements and the come hither look.
The men of the day were quite dashing too. Maybe the men of today could take a lesson how to be sensitive and gorgeous at the same time. And it wasn't Lynn Bari singing it was Pat Friday.
Músicas incríveis e inesquecíveis!
Lynn Bari's interpretation and synergie with the orchestra in Serenade in blue is magical!
Yes, she does a good lip-sync, but note that it is vocalist Pat Friday's voice you actually hear, dubbed for Miss Bari in all of her numbers here.
It was pat Fridays voice
The original unedited soundtrack recording of the song, however, WAS featured on several LP compilations of Miller's soundtracks.
according to the pedia of the wiki, the song was written for the movie, and though Lynn Bari is the face on the screen, the voice is that of Pat Friday.
The GM orchestra later released the song with Ray Eberle singing the lead.
it seems the only consistent vocalists are the Modernaires
Keep on truckin!!' Glad you're internet savy, and can find neat stuff like this!
WOW!
sheer wonder
Best version
So Classy
Best version in my opinion.
I'm pleased to hear that, 'gregory'. At least you have an idea of what the number was SUPPOSED to be, on screen. Shortly after production of the film was completed, in June 1942, Glenn fired Ray, for several reasons [Skip Nelson replaced him].
Probably because Ray was full of himself and had none of the talent or humility of his brother Bob
Lynn Bari was lip syncing. The singer was Pat Friday. Lynn Bari had a weak voice, so they subbed it with a power house of the unknowns in the vocals of the era.
Pat Friday was a real nice lady too
@Ed Miller The ones who want to later find some of the same singer's work on itunes care
Friday was a student at UCLA, her parents wanted her to get an education. Fantastic voice she had.
That right its Ceasar Romero. Thanx so much. Peace & Good
Serenade in bl bl bl bluuuuuuuuuu so beautiful and sweet sexy goodness miss Lynn Bari beautiful she had that Jo Stafford vibe to her so lovely and elegant and so sophisticatedly gorgeous😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘.
It is kind of interesting, when i can listen to this sort of music, i can relax and think!, My difficult paper work just seems to flow, And I sort of lose track of the time. I am really surprised, To see,Just how much i can accomplish.
@bertoneer1 Not the Glenn Miller regular piano player Chummy MacGregor, but actor Ceasar Romero for this movie.
I can see why this woman got a lot of musicians stirred up.
The pretty girl who is dancing with a man while she winks at and flirts with Ceasar Romero (the pianist) is Claire James. More info about her can be found at google images or at imdb..
I am in love with Lynn Bari, they don’t make women like this anymore. Good lord.
I got it on amazon.
Lynn was, is the top of the toptest
I didn't see Moe Purtill crash the last note cymbal, in the video.
Gorgeous song!! Thank you for posting... (Lynn Bari is not singing!)
It's not listed in the soundtrack on IMDb... "Kicked the Bucket" reminds me of Old Man Mose go search that.
@sandaglad 1:54 ... she is pretty.
I don’t remember seeing this in the movie! I may have missed it or they have taken it out
How in the world did you find that out? I have searched for her name for years and came up with nothing. Thank you.
Still was recorded by Ray with the Glenn Miller band. We associate the song with his voice with the Miller band not hers... She came in and did a job, but I was ONLY WONDERING if there might have been an ill feeling in Ray's part over it.
No
What was the last song on the movie? "he kicked the bucket.." help I can't find it
min. 1:53 because.! usually happens
I like this wonderful song better, when performed by a female, not by Ray Eberle.
Ray Eberle sang At Last with her, I loved it.
Who is the piano player? Is it Xsaver Cugart?
WHO is that girl that flashes her ring to Cesar Romero (piano player)? She is gorgeous! She resembles Shirley Temple, but it is not her.
Roseanne Murray. She died in August 2015. You're right, she was a cutie.
Mitch Parrish put lyrics to the melody.
That could have been one of the reasons...
He was standing behind her while she lip sinked it.
Too bad that they dubbed her voice for both Glenn Miller films.
Maybe Ray had an attitude after give his songs away in the movie!
