One of my fondest memories is of slow dancing in the kitchen with my mother while she sang this song in her beautiful voice. Your version was the closest I could find to that and it made me weep. Thank you for posting this, dear girl.
My eyes burst into tears as I read this, sad because mothers pass, sad that mother dies, happy that they continue to live through such good memories. Mothers should never die!
Yes and fifties and sixties. "Till There Was You" was from the 1957 musical "The Music Man" by Meredith Willson. So much better than the noise being produced today.
I hope young artists will fall in love with the Great American Songbook. This music has to stay alive. The music is beautiful and complex and the lyrics are stunning poetry.
This was my father's favorite song.He took me to see "The Music Man" when I was about 5. Whenever I run across something like this, the first thing I think is "Man, I have to send this to Daddy." Then it hits me, "Aw, damn. He's dead." His birthday was Oct. 6. He would have been 95. And he'd have loved your music, Allison.
The widow of Meredith Willson, the composer of The Music Man, has stated that her husband's estate eventually received more income from the royalties of the Beatles recordings of Till There Was You, than it originally received from the actual play.
i went out of town to visit my Mom today, first real visit since February, because of quarantine. She suffered alone for two weeks in the hospital with covid a month ago, and quarantine had already made her lonely, as dad works nights. She is losing her memory, and it's a very sad and tough time for our family. When I played this song, she started singing along, and it was a real emotional thing. We wound up playing 5 or 6 videos, and it made her day. It reminded of her youth in the 50's and 60's. Mom said you are so pretty and loves your voice and playing. Now that we have our Saturday nights back, watching your vids will be a regular thing. I can't thank you enough, Allison.
I swear Allison is a time traveler. Her beautiful voice and signing style are timeless and classical. She transports me to a different time with each song.
This old jazz guitarist has his arrangement of this tune. I like both. Allison's voice is so amazing. Interesting how a young lady and OLD man both like this song. I guess that means the song is timeless.
There are many comments about the great music of the 60's and 70's (me included), but great talents like Alison remind us that great music is timeless as long as it is pure and genuine in presentation.
You have a great voice Allison and sing beautifully. Strangely though, you have the look of a silent movie actress maybe somebody like Clara Bow. No-one else has commented on this but I think it is something to be cherished.
Me too, came here after watching a duet with Josh Turner. Really can't understand why hadn't found this superb voice before. Promote yourself, young lady! You are of a rare quality, few in a generation.
AHHHH.... I saw (and loved) the cover of Crazy on Josh's stream a month or so ago... I didn't actually follow that here... The google just today suggested I needed to come see this. And as usual, it was a good call.
Ack! I love the whistling! I love the singing! Love the song, and the enchanting lady singing it. Couldn't help but adlib whistle as I heard it. Wish I could hear it in person... Thanks for letting me forget the rest of the world for 3 min. 😍
Speechless again. You are truly and gem. I'm a metal head but this...this is amazing. A priceless gem amongst mere stones. That angelic voice. You really are something very special.
When people say, for any era or genre, 'they don't make that kind of music anymore', I will point them in your direction. It's all still out there. Online, in clubs... SOMEONE is still playing that music you like. You just have to search for it. We aren't spoon-fed anymore, like in radio days. Thank you for your music.
It took 3 years for UA-cam to suggest this video ☹ Allison, your voice is incredibly beautiful and so are you. That's also one of my favorite Beatles songs :D
Try the MonaLisaTwins cover of the Beatles cover of this song no one does it better than the twins when it comes to the Beatles,Allison style is truer to the way it was sung in the music man on broadway,love them, both are on my playlist.
Me too! Your voice is so beautiful. It harkens back to a time when music was music's and voices were heavenly...just like your angelic voice. Even your whistling is beautiful. Glad I came across you singing with Josh.
Thank you, Allison, for this beautiful cover. I know this song goes way back but the earliest I can remember it was off an early Beatles album. A good friend had a small record player and was a big time Beatles fan. We would listen for hours of great music. Currently my friend has cancer and is not expected to live much longer but memories will last for me for a long time. Keep up the great work Allie, Burlington Bill busking on the road and here on you tube.
This was one of the readings I chose to be read at my wedding. I've always wanted to learn how to play it. The ukulele suits it perfectly. Your version is amazing!
I first heard this song when I was little; my family and I attended a family friend's wedding and the groom sang it to the bride. I always liked it and Allison's way of singing leaves me feeling so warm inside.💖💖💖💖
With UA-cam and other video platforms, and software like GarageBand at our fingertips, I bet the traditional music industry will fade. Not overnight, though!
Written by Meredith Willson in 1950, the original title was till I met you. It was used in the 1957 Broadway musical The Music Man. It was performed on stage by Barbara Cook and in the 1962 movie version by Shirley Jones (Yes that Shirley Jones). Anita Bryant recorded it in 1959 and the Beatles recorded it in 1963.
Standing outside the resus room, early this morning, waiting to sit with my ailing dad, and this song occupied my mind on repeat. And this evening I have found it again and it will be forever tied to this time, for the rest of my days. Thanks for such a beautiful rendition of a timeless song.
Lovely. This made me smile. "The Music Man" is probably my favorite musical of all time, and you did a superb job with this song. Plus, you are a beautiful young woman. Bravo!
Beautiful. That ending was classic. This a favourite song of mine. I love the lyric and the phrasing the melody gives it especially that pause before '... and you..' This is lovely. A keeper.
One of the greatest gifts is the ability to play musical instruments and, most of all, sing. Another gift is the opportunity to share it. For us who are watching and listening, our gift is the ability to appreciate it.
What a lovely, elegant version. Meredith Wilson wrote it in 1950 & recorded it with his orchestra & Eileen Wilson. He included it in his musical "Music Man" in '57 and Anita Bryant ("A day without orange juice is like a day without sunshine") had a top 40 hit (#30) with it in '59. It was a part of The Beatles' repertoire before they began recording, but they didn't release a recording of it until 1963 with their 2nd album "With the Beatles". Eventually, Meredith Williams' estate received more in royalties from The Beatles' recording than from the entire musical!
Less is more! Like so many others, I came here via Patsy/Crazy video. Great voice control, beautiful smile, and all heart. Who could not be in love?!! Keep it up!!!
You are so wonderful. Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful talent with me and everyone. You have such a special gift from God. I realized your gift when you sang " Some sunny day " or " We'll meet again ", so beautiful. Please don't ever stop.
My goodness! I just went back in time, and I think I’m in love! There’s a certain Bernadette Peters ‘something’ there. 😉 Cute with a beautiful voice, and can play, too! More, please! ps-nice lighting and color.
Your voice is like heaven!! Absolutely gorgeous and peaceful and so smooth. You are a precious angel and so beautiful to match inside and out. Love your red curly hair. So unique and perfect!!! You've got it all. Keep singing and posting!!! Listening and loving it in Alabama.
I absolutely love your voice. So pure.... so classic and a song like this really shows it off. Please keep putting that beauty into the world. If there were only 100,000 more women like you out there, this world would be a much better place. 😁
I reckon you talent is awesome, and could bring joy to many people. I hope the day comes when you have enough videos that I can enjoy one each day of the year.
I Whistle in all of my ukulele songs when I play with a little bluegrass group. Everybody really loves my whistling and it sounds somewhat like yours. I was ready to start whistling right when you did. You are spot-on😊
"rocketpost1" is absolutely correct....you obviously know though that you're the image of a bygone era. Sooooo beautifully you bring that back to our hearts Allison!! You are incredibly amazing!!
You are amazing!! The part where you started whistling had me dumbfounded! My mouth just hung open while I listened like I was shocked. It was heavenly! Please never stop singing. Your music is my new favorite thing!
BEAUTIFUL, and incredibly professional. From the wondrous voice to the intimate setting (the sepia toned photography is stunning), it's amazing. If this is all you, Taylor Swift has a new competitor.
One of my fondest memories is of slow dancing in the kitchen with my mother while she sang this song in her beautiful voice. Your version was the closest I could find to that and it made me weep. Thank you for posting this, dear girl.

Wow! Your comment brought a tear to my eye. We only get one Mother. So be sure to treat them with love!
Jensie maybe your was. Sad for you. However a lot have wonderful momma's.
My eyes burst into tears as I read this, sad because mothers pass, sad that mother dies, happy that they continue to live through such good memories. Mothers should never die!
for me it was grandma in the living room...but same.
UA-cam wasn't that good till there was you! Keep singing Allison.
@modellichtsysteme Best comment I've read today!!!!!!! She's got musical talent in spades!!!!!!!
you need too look around the internet a little more, she's pretty good sure. Your just being a simp though.
@@pontythython1901 I'm curious..........do trolls get paid by the hour or by the comment?
@@redlinemando It's charity
@@pontythython1901 What's Charity's last name & does she pay well?
There is a resurgence of young artists falling in love with great songs of the 30's and 40's. Thank you for being you!
Yes and fifties and sixties. "Till There Was You" was from the 1957 musical "The Music Man" by Meredith Willson. So much better than the noise being produced today.
@@rnedlo9909 Good point. Do you think that because the musical is set in the 1900’s, they wrote it so it sounded timeless?
My son is 17 and really into older music. ❤️
Exactly. Well done.

Send it to him in your thoughts.......he’ll get it. ❤️❤️
@@lindamclean8809 Thanks, Linda.
He isn't dead. He's waiting for you.

Interesting. Frankly, kinda sad. What a play/movie that was.
The Beatles version is really pretty too! Loved The Music Man movie! One of my all time favorite movies!

I think she was going for that look and the way the video appears is like a sepia tone. I love that look.
With her appreciation of these old standards, a friend would say she has an "old soul".
No, truly, she looks like Lillian Gish. She also carries herself with an unusual dignity for one of her age. Good call, there.
The term you're looking for is classic beauty! She is amazingly beautiful, perfectly symmetry. Just lovely!
This is a beautiful young lady ... gorgeous eyes, and I LOVE her hairdo ...
This is called pure unadorned TALENT and beautiful to boot!
You said it, man !!

Love your vintage style and singing voice I must say
That's her Influence.
My grandma and I sang this song together. Today we're spreading her ashes and I thank you for this moment.

So DID I 😂
Why you gotta go and be so delightful? Just so nice to,listen to...then you smile and make it even better. Thank you for the sunshine ☀️ 🙏
An angel...spectacular,,,the whistling knocked me out...
I cannot believe the perfect clarity of Allison's voice. Thank you Allison, for sharing your gift with the world.
This is what we as a human race have lost. We need more of this....
we dont need anymore ukulele players... please
My Dad use to sing this. he told us kids he sang it to my Mom and I guess it was love after that, Thanks Dad for the memories. We all miss you.
i feel like you've time traveled here from the past
Same feel
My first thought. Her voice, technique, looks, and editing help.
Was thinking the exact same thing. She must be an old soul gal.
Same here!Amazing!
they played guitar back then because people werent dumbed down
what kind of person gives "thumbs down" for this sweet voice....absolutely fresh and tremendous!
...Josh brought me here.
This is just MAGIC.
Can't stop listening and watching.
MAGIC MAGIC MAGIC MAGIC

OMG... That's what I call TALENT!!!! The voice... Girl you are MAGIC!!!
You are such a good singer!
You have a beautiful voice and
a special talent for performing.
This is a perfect rendition!
Whew, so beautiful. Great music too. A star is born. Dont let the industry dictate your look and amazing vibe.
And remember this. You do not need 'background dancers' ( that's a thing that the no talent auto tuners use to distract from their inability to sing.)
With UA-cam and other video platforms, and software like GarageBand at our fingertips, I bet the traditional music industry will fade. Not overnight, though!

Now THAT was one of the sweetest voices I have heard in a long time. 🥰
I may be close to listening and watching this video for the 100th time. Thank you.
This was a really good cover, I loved the whistling and the vibrato at the end on 'you'. Really, really good job, keep it up!
Beautiful voice, rich and textured and pitch perfect.
Never heard "that" version ... till there was You. Really love the added whistle👍👍😎
It is so nice that young people sing and appreciate old music.

Simply beautiful. Both you & the singing 😀💙
This is the best version of this song that I've ever heard including the Beatles!!! Thank you Allison!!!
Wow..!!...Excellent natural voice with beautiful vibrato and love the chord construction...Difficult to find such naturalness these days...!!
imagine being curly and redheaded with great singing talent, and a pretty face. woah, i can't relate.
The epitome of beauty in my humble opinion.
I love talking in songs and whiseling
... And those lips ...
With a beautiful aesthetic and amazing whistling skills too
Quit feeling sorry for yourself and stop moping around. Good looks starts with a state of mind right.

I loved the Music Man and its songs. My parents bought me a copy in my early teens. This is a particularly beautiful song and you do it nicely.
Crystal clear voice!
You just made me smile with that beautiful voice!
So refreshing...someone really singing a song
Your rendition of this song was hand-made for the word 'wow.' So here goes... WOW!
This isn’t an easy song and you NAILED it!! 👏👏👏 Love your version!!!
Fantastic whistling!! You ROCK!!
I love your voice!! You're amazing!! I love this song and with your voice it's perfect!
As a kid I remember my dad whistling a tune, but I never knew what it was. Now I know! Thanks, Allison!
Very nice.. saw you over on Josh's page Belting out Patsy... Fantastic..
Many of your songs are in my head and I can listen to you, without a device, anytime I want. Thank you.
