Appearing instrumentally in the opening credits and later sung by Carlos Ramirez with the Cugat orch in MGM's _Beauty Beauty_ , this beautiful tune served essentially as the film's theme. Here, Jo relies on her own instincts as to how to approach the song, achieving an effect that suggests a languid breeze, barely moving the tree leaves silhouetted by the moonlight in the lyric's June night. She respectfully allows the words themselves to do a good part of the work, without vocally wringing each syllable. As always, her tone, phrasing and diction are exquisite!
Once upon a time when my parents were young... That music, those movies... ❤
