  • Bobby Breen (b. November 4, 1927) sings his great hit "Rainbow on the River" in the movie of the same name. Blessed with a gorgeous soprano voice, Bobby appeared in nine films between 1936 and 1942. This film is a classic that should really have a proper DVD restoration. The theme song was also recorded by Guy Lombardo's Orchestra, Perry Como with Ted Weems's Orchestra, Charlie Barnet and His Orchestra, and other wonderful groups of the time.

    Bobby Breen certainly had a lot of talent.
    I've heard this song many times, but it's wonderful to see him sing it. Thanks for sharing this video.

    Possibly, the greatest boy singer in movies. I remember a memorable radio interview he did on Ed Walker's show in the Washington, DC area in the 1970s.

    Bobby has such a wonderful treble voice.. He was discovered by Eddie Cantor for his Radio Show.

      I believe Cantor was responsible for discovering other major talent like Dinah Shore and Eddie Fischer.

    AMEN! I have purchased several public domain versions of this film, but each one is a big disappointment. If the copyright owners, whether they be Bobby Breen Enterprises or Warner Archives or whomever, will you please allow these films to be enjoyed by a new generation?

    A very Impressive film from the old days of Slavery and all those people who were humiliated and discriminated against by all the Regimer.
    But nice and nice to see Bobby Breen { this very young actor and singer } raise the upper hand against all the Regiem.

    Today the black quarters boycotted this movie.
    I'm black and I think it's a beautiful story.
    Unfortunately, Bobby Breen is already deceased and also the great Louise Beavers
