Annoys me that this song isn’t on Instagram Music. They never have these sorts of hidden gems.
🤷🏼♀️ I just listen them here🙂❤️🎶
@@cynthiaquinn747that’s not the point. It’s on Spotify and I listen to it there, but I’d like to use these songs in posts and videos I make on Instagram. It’s how you bring the classics to my generation and not keep it for just boomers.
@@bennygoodmanisgod Instagram barely has any library. Download the songs you want to use, and then add them to the videos, then credit the artist & song in the description of the upload.
The Marcels dreadful '61 treatment may have mutilated this standard -- but it didn't kill it. I've always loved this tune, which required a fair bit of tinkering from wordsmith Lorenz Hart to get just right. I have to say, I find the Dorsey take, though certainly not less than good, to be one of the weakest entries in the band's chant cycle. Between the song and ace arranger Paul Weston, I almost would have expected better. The man was very, very busy, however. I don't care too much for those reed figures behind TD's opening solo, nor am I nuts about the especially bright tempo, which must have challenged Jack Leonard, particularly on the wordy bridge. Babe Russin and Johnny Mince's solos and the reed section bridge, though, are slick. Too, I like the chanters' Jerry Colonna-ish _aaaaaahhhhh_ , right before "hold tight!"
The Marcels version is fine lol. You sound like such a boomer 💀
@@bennygoodmanisgod To you it's "fine" -- that's fine. Are you not aware that "boomers" are the very generation that would be attracted to such a treatment? ... I just missed being a boomer -- I was born in '66.
I especially loathe the way people omit the modulation in the middle of the bridge. Is a little bit of tonal variety that much of an insurmountable challenge for people?
@@christophercanzoneri2962 Unfortunately, it would seem so -- judging by the direction most pop music has taken since the Golden Era.
I'm not against swinging the ballads,but I am against this record. A sub-par arrangement for TD's band. Even the crew's exclamations, which I usually adore,can't save this one.
Never heard this version by Tommy until now!
On a gray wintery afternoon in January of 1939, a production meeting was held by Tommy Dorsey at his mansion in Bernardsville, N.J. The gathering was attended by RCA executives and Tommy's top arrangers. As usual, special food and drinks were served by the band leader's lovely wife and hostess Mildred ("Toots").
Stories and laughs abounded, but most importantly arrangements of
"Marie", "Who", "Blue Skies", "Blue Moon", and three others were created
and later developed.
Within my first two dozen 78s. Bought a lot out of a Victor Credenza in the 4th floor of a furniture store back 6-7 years ago.

Nice tenor solo by Babe Russin, followed by Johnny Mince.
