my great grandma was sixteen when this song was released, she lived a long full life and passed in 2002 at 106. what a legacy and to be alive during this time was just extraordinary!
WOW LUCKY HER I BET NOW SHES GLAD SHES NOT HERE THIS WORLD TODAY, HAS LOST ITS MIND . HOWEVER SHE DID LIVE IN A MUCH MORE FAMILY AND GOD FEARING TIME THEN NOW .IT IS SO IMORAL NOW .
My Great Great Great Grandpa was 5 when this came out personally I prefer Big Band Jazz from the 1920s but I’ll still listen and respect this music. I cannot stand music after 1985 and I’m 13.
My grandad used to play this when I was a little girl and pick me up and dance round the living room with me, and as soon as the song was over id say again again again:') this is the one song that can bring me to tears!
I always think this song, and this recording - seems modern for its time. It is very much like do-wop from the 50s. I am certain, and heard examples that you could say was rock and roll from back then - incredible!
Now you mention it about the doo wop i can see your comparison ..also at the turn of the century barber shop staff would sing acapella to entice customers and that was probably the predecessor to doo wop
My grandmother would make me play this on her piano. She said it was the first song she and my grandfather ever danced to. They were married at Old St.Joseph's, in Springfield Ill in 1914. Tears.
I had thought of this charming song as from the early jazz era. Only now I realize it's even older, from the ragtime days, and this version is a barbershop quartet.
Billy Murray is truly a classic. It's amazing that 100 years ago he was a star and everyone knew his name and now he's been forgotten. Same can be said for any performers of that era and the same will apply for our modern performers.
I work in elder care and sing this to my residents.. this is the first time I have heard a vintage recording of this song. It's so wonderful.. thanks for sharing!
Honey dear, want you near; just turn out the light and then come over here! Nestle close, up to my side. My heart's a-fire, with love's desire! In my arms, rest complete. I never thought that life could ever be so sweet! Till I met you some time ago! But now I know, I love you so!

Quartet personnel on this recording: John Bieling, tenor; Billy Murray, lead; Steve Porter, baritone; William Hooley, bass. This was one of their major hits.
My parents had this record, and my sisters and I used to play it all the time. The first few notes are similar to the (modern) song "All That Jazz" from the musical 'Chicago'.
my grandad died recently at the age of 91 and i regret not asking him what type of music he liked, i would have loved to see if he listened to stuff like this
Well this would have been too early for him, but I'm sure he would have known it, and wouldhave enjoyed the vintage songs on UA-cam. I know my mother certainly would have, it's such a shame that UA-cam was not around when she was alive.
Actually, in small towns, there were picnics and other events at which there was community singing at least into the 50s, with much of the music being from the turn of the century. Sometime in the 60s, there seems to have been a disconnect with prior periods of music. It was rock or nothing. Likewise, in "serious" orchestral music, all previous notions of harmony and tunefulness were jettisoned. Frankly, there is little, aside from some movie scores, that I feel is worth listening to since then, at least in the US. Thanks to You Tube, I am finding some rays of hope in EUrope
since i joined the oldest club at my school the barbershop club we have been singing this at every school dance 3 generations of club members my school has the best dances and 1920s day is the clubs favorite day in fact! we even have the proper barbershop outfits
Easy to hear the harmonies that were later "reinvented" when doo wop reigned. So much of our music today is very closely tied to ragtime and Tin Pan Alley. Folks just don't know!

My mom said she used to sang this to me when i was a baby, although i'm sure it was a remake she heard somewhere as she as well as i was born quite a few years after 1911.Good to hear the original.Thanks for the upload!!!
I love this song too! This is yet another one that was in the White Star Line Orchestra's songbook prior to 1912, thus was probably performed by their musicians on the RMS Titanic.
Wow, this was popular in my old Country (USA) fifty eight years before I was born! Thanks to modern internet technology, I can finally hear old songs like this for real that I might have heard whistled on my G.Grandpa's farm when I was only really young, like 4-5...
Privately my Grandad would call my Grandmother “Doll” because he would sing this song to her. They met in 1910, began counting in 1912, and were married in 1914. It was their favorite popular tune at that time. 💕🤗💕🤗💕

I've read that the opening chorus of this song was the first 12-bar-blues on record, one year before Hart Wand's 'Dallas Blues'. Interesting to hear that this song uses a blues as an introduction, whereas many of Bessie Smith's records use a song chorus as an intro and then turn into a blues.
I had read that too, and originally stated it in the description, but I removed it for some reason. I did count it out though, it definitely is a 12 bar I-IV-V blues progression, even if it doesn't sound very bluesy!

@@ragnarthomsen3914 that’s not something to mock but admire because most kids don’t know music even 20 years old. This is wonderful.
@@sofiabravo1994 No idea why I said that. I am Sorry.
Something about music from the early 20th century just tugs at my heartstrings.
It could be either the sound quality or the fact that this is better singing most pop singers toady
It could also be the fact that you're listening to a person singing who has long since passed.
@@L0RDK3Y I think you just about hit the nail on the head...back then you either could sing or you couldn't

I can't believe this version! The rhythm makes it sound like '50s rock. And this is by far my favorite Billy Murray song now.
I love old fashion music

why do i feel like i have known this song for a long time
alejandro rodrigiuez so do I!
I love Big Band Jazz from the 1920’s

Not anymore ;)
my great great grandfather lived in this is times
The year my Grandma was born! RIP, Grandma Sue! Such beautiful music.
I always think this song, and this recording - seems modern for its time. It is very much like do-wop from the 50s. I am certain, and heard examples that you could say was rock and roll from back then - incredible!
When I first heard this song, I, too thought that it was rather ahead of its time. I agree, great song!
Now you mention it about the doo wop i can see your comparison ..also at the turn of the century barber shop staff would sing acapella to entice customers and that was probably the predecessor to doo wop
Some other examples of 1910s proto-rock and roll are Casey Jones (1910) and Denver Town (1909).
My beautiful grandmother always sang this to me when I was a child. What a great song!
My grandmother would make me play this on her piano. She said it was the first song she and my grandfather ever danced to. They were married at Old St.Joseph's, in Springfield Ill in 1914. Tears.
The oldest guy in America would have been in High School when this came out... a nice connection to the past.
How is this song better than every song released since 2010
I had thought of this charming song as from the early jazz era. Only now I realize it's even older, from the ragtime days, and this version is a barbershop quartet.
Billy Murray is truly a classic. It's amazing that 100 years ago he was a star and everyone knew his name and now he's been forgotten. Same can be said for any performers of that era and the same will apply for our modern performers.
I'd love to see a vintage picture of how the singers and musicians were positioned around the recording horn.
I work in elder care and sing this to my residents.. this is the first time I have heard a vintage recording of this song. It's so wonderful.. thanks for sharing!

This song was played on the "Cotton Club" movie, which took place in the 1930's.
