One of the most beautiful albums she's ever done. Wish I could have been there. I have the DVD also. So much much fun and ballroom dancing. Simply lovely as only Carly can do❤
This entire album is wonderful. So just "My Romance" "Torch" Film Noir " I LOVE this woman especially this side of her. I have this DVD aboard the Queen Mary. It's so , so beautiful and so is she. 🌺 There's ballroom dancing , lighting is perfect. Wish I could have been there.
This is what we get, when Carly controls the notes and having real musical fun in singing this jazzy-style. Carly is always very nice to listen to, thanks Carly from the Netherlands!!!!❤❤❤
The most exquisite love song of the twentieth century delivered by the goddess of romantic ballads. I love the detail in the arrangement, clothes and photography. You can tell the artists are themselves enchanted when they deliver a performance like this.I hope god lets me hear this one for all eternity.
My name is Cale Guillory, and I am from Monroe, Louisiana (where I am still living), and I love Carly Simon’s music. Especially this song. I have watched this video so many times, and I have decided to watch it again, as I think I can come up with different lyrics to the tune of this song, based on the qualities of Hurricane Laura, who just came through yesterday.
What incredible coincidences ... !!!!! It seems that those of us who bear this beautiful name have the same story ... !!! Some of our parents for this topic give us this incredible gift ... today that who is no longer to whom I owe my name ... my mom is when I value my name the most to my parents who are no longer with me I thank them deeply for having made my life the happiest ... for all the places in the world where I had the privilege of being ... there was a piano and someone to play it as in many other stories they played the Theme for us ... the most incredible thing is that EVERYONE had the Theme in your repertoire ... !!!! Mommy to heaven again THANK YOU and to both of you to heaven THANK YOU FOR THE BEAUTIFUL LIFE YOU GAVE ME ... !!!
I love this song, so I was sampling some of the renditions and to my surprise (Not sure why) Carly's was the best. Her voice is haunting and ethereal just like the movie.
@@deanronson6331 thank you so much I love Johnny and I will listen to it a song that you might enjoy if you have not heard it already is Ruby by Ray Charles simular to Laura a song about a beautiful but somewhat mysterious woman it's also connected to a movie Ruby Gentry the song at the end makes a bit of reference to Laura when the backround singers end the record by singing she's NOT a dream
@@johnfulton4061 I'm familiar with "Ruby" and Ray's version of it. I'm a big fan of his, but that particular tune doesn't come close to "Laura" in my mind. One suggestion deserves another: Julie London, "Where Are You?"
Totally hit the mark square with this vid. Excellent music, Carly's voice is flexible, dynamic range, timeless. She performs everything with exception. Thanx for the great vid!!!!
Lead-in with Haunting: There's always someone, haunting someone, haunting someone, I can't sleep easy, cause I'm afraid of dreaming And then the memory of the dream There's always someone, haunting someone, haunting someone Laura is the face in the misty night Footsteps that you hear down the hall The laugh that floats on a summer's night That you might never quite recall And you see Laura on a train that is passing through Those eyes how familiar they seem She gave your very first kiss to you That was Laura but she's only a dream She gave your very first kiss to you That was Laura But she's only a dream Yes she gave your very first kiss to you That was Laura, but she's only a dream A dream, a dream
Thank you for the info on the artist, I love this movie and love the song. Jackie Gleason and his orchestra does a great job of recording this instrumental. Thanks for your comments.
Essa canção foi interpretada pelo Alemão no Clube da Imprensa em 2002, numa noite com Simone Guimarães, Guinga, Leandro Braga, Alemão e Clodo Ferreira. O Eduardo Rangel deu uma canja com o Unicórnio Azul, de Silvio Rodriguez. Um espetáculo inesquecível pra história do Clube da Imprensa e na minha vida.
"Laura" Laura is the face in the misty night Footsteps that you hear down the hall The laugh that floats on a summer's night That you might never quite recall And you see Laura on a train that is passing through Those eyes how familiar they seem She gave your very first kiss to you That was Laura but she's only a dream She gave your very first kiss to you That was Laura But she's only a dream Yes she gave your very first kiss to you That was Laura, but she's only a dream A dream, a dream
I think David Raskin wrote the music in 1944 when the movie came out and Johnny Mercer (Days of Wine and Roses, Moon River etc etc) wrote the words several years later. I recently bought the movie on DVD and Gene Tierney, Dana Andrews, Clifton Webb, Vincent Price & Judith Anderson are all very good and Otto did a nice job of directing!
I was just watching this concert tonight. Can you upload Carly's version of YOU WON'T FORGET ME.... It is sensational! Thanks for this one! Her voice is stunning!
every so often one of the older customers who come from my line ask me if i heard this song or watched the movie. i have yet to see it but i love the song.
It seems the various artist involved with LAURA from director Otto Preminger,star Gene Tierney, and Charlie Parkers rendition to Carly Simon version is all good! - Gene Tierney, one of Hollywoods greats!.
My take on it is that David Raskin wrote the instrumental song for the 1944 film, Laura, and that in the following year Johnny Mercer put lyrics to the music. The lyrics are based on the character Laura from the film.

@mjazzguitar A couple of weeks ago, I was watching Season 1 of Saturday Night Live, and Carly Simon was the only musical guest who didn't appear live. Instead, she filmed them ahead of time. They said it was because she wanted to watch herself on the show, but if you're right about the stage fright, that could explain it. Either way, it was a great performance. She always gives great performances.
Several years' ago I was in a Toys R Us and this song came on. It was in the morning and the store wasn't crowded so I'm pretty sure I was the only one there who knew this song.
I heard that it originally had no lyrics. But people loved it so much they came up with some. I can't believe she has stage fright, she is such a class act. I remember the guy she was married to saying in Rolling Stone that to other guys she's just a f--k. jealous dude.
My mom fell in love with this movie and named me Laura. 🌹
One of the most beautiful albums she's ever done. Wish I could have been there. I have the DVD also. So much much fun and ballroom dancing. Simply lovely as only Carly can do❤

I wouldn't have thought Carly Simon and "Laura" could be a good match and I thought wrong. This is great!
One of the most beautiful songs ever & I was smitten by Gene Tierney when I saw the movie as a young teenager.
Her beauty was breathtaking.
This is what we get, when Carly controls the notes and having real musical fun in singing this jazzy-style.

I need to purchase more Carly albums. I had no idea she wonderfully recorded this wonderful song.

what a voice, what a sound - beautiful!!
BEAUTIFUL!!!! GREATER THAN GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Have you heard Ella Fitzgerald sing this song?
@@johnfulton4061 Yes, Ella's version is better, and so is Johnny Mathis's from his 1964 album - both on YT.

I wish I could have seen this concert. They don't exist anymore.
I love this! She is a songstress of the first order! Made this Classic all her own!
Stunning! It is obvious that Carly Simon inhabits this song. Lucky for us we can see her masterful interpretation. Thanks for this!
Beautiful song sung by an even more beautiful woman!
How cool is this! My favorite song, from my favorite movie, sang my one of my favorite singers.
Howard Johnson sung
The laugh that floats on a summer night, that you can never quite explain ... As Benny Green said, the Johnny Mercer lyric brings back one's youth.
Totally hit the mark square with this vid. Excellent music, Carly's voice is flexible, dynamic range, timeless. She performs everything with exception. Thanx for the great vid!!!!
this is spectacular. I love this song , this arrangement and Carly's singing. Stunning.

Laura is the face in the misty night
Footsteps that you hear down the hall
The laugh that floats on a summer's night
That you might never quite recall
And you see Laura on a train that is passing through
Those eyes how familiar they seem
She gave your very first kiss to you
That was Laura but she's only a dream
She gave your very first kiss to you
That was Laura
But she's only a dream
Yes she gave your very first kiss to you
That was Laura, but she's only a dream
A dream, a dream
Preciosa canción, la amo desde niña
Just love it ! What else can I say?
so beautifull
i love it....!!
Now this is a post you'd never find in today's pop music videos on youtube. hahaha Well done.
Fantastic video!^)))5*)/

A dream, a dream
Well done.
Beautiful
Epic.
wow what a song~
Nice to see her sing in front of an audience after many years of stage fright.
I think Laura is one of the most beautiful names for girls(women) it just sounds pretty.
Que voz......

映画『ローラ』主題歌。
ジョニー・マーサー作詞、デビッド・ラクスィン作曲
ローラは、霞むライトに浮かぶ面影
廊下から聴こえてくる人々の足音や
夏の夜に溶けて漂う笑い声のように
誰の記憶にも留まりはしないけれど
過ぎゆく列車に彼女を見掛けたなら
その瞳に何故か懐かしさを憶えよう
初めてキスをした初恋の人のように
それがローラ、でも彼女はただの夢
They didn't cut any corners with this arrangement, that's for sure. It's unusual now to hear what an orchestra can do with a song.
My take on it is that David Raskin wrote the instrumental song for the 1944 film, Laura, and that in the following year Johnny Mercer put lyrics to the music. The lyrics are based on the character Laura from the film.
Such a hauntingly beautiful song, and to think we heard it as kids performed by the Spike Jones Orchestra in a spoof.
gorgeous
Wow, Carly’s voice sounds so haunting, just like the lyrics. My name is Laura.
@jlmww
I do remember her saying something about the stage fright thing. She is awesome.
wonderful ...ann
Ｌａｕｒａ！歌詞付きではこの人が好き(^^♪ 素晴らしい名曲＾＾
o my god i love gene tierney, dana andrews and carly simon... guess i better see the movie!!!
My name is Laura my parents said they named me after they heard a song on the radio ....but I was born In 1964 don’t know if was it!
I heard that it originally had no lyrics. But people loved it so much they came up with some.

Carly Simon was my crush.....
