- Deanna Durbin performs the Scottish folk song which was probably composed in the 1700s. This clip comes from the 1940 movie "It's a Date", filmed when Durbin was 18.
By yon bonnie banks and by yon bonnie braes
Where the sun shines bright on Loch Lomond
Where me and my true love were ever wont to gae
On the bonnie, bonnie banks o' Loch Lomond.
O you'll tak' the high road and I'll tak' the low road
And I'll be in Scotland afore ye
For me and my true love will ne-er meet again
On the bonnie, bonnie banks o' Loch Lomond.
'Twas there that we parted in yon shady glen
On the steep, steep sides o' Ben Lomond
Where deep in purple hue, the hieland hills we view
And the moon comin' out in the gloamin'.
My 94 year old dad told me he remembers when he was a child and he and his family used to listen to Ms. Durbin on the radio. They just loved her.
Deanna Durbin once again transports with a beautiful voice, fine technique, and heartfelt sincerity. Singing of this quality does not exist in the film world anymore, and frankly, rarely in the opera world either.
The stability and purity of tone of her voice throughout its range. The innocence and authority of her interpretation, astonishing for an 18 year old. It floods the mind with its beauty and melancholy.
Deanna Durbin`s singing is untouchable. One does not hear this kind of talent today.
Bruce Imes I agree. She had an angel voice with an angel soul.
Bruce Imes Not many whistle voices now a days...
She was Utterly Amazing a shame she retired and never produced more unforgettable music.
And to those whom didn't like this, you're obviously not sane.
A Beautiful voice
Deanna's magic is she truly feels every song. She is not acting, she is not performing, she is living the song. True also of her films. She believes every word she is saying, every situation in which she is acting; that's an ability that cannot be learned. The heart is either there or it isn't.
I need to come back to this every now and again, if only to remind myself that there is still some Beauty and Truth in the world. God Bless Deanna Durbin for her unwitting communications through her beautiful, angelic voice, and the Scotts for their haunting and timeless music - the Angels are with us still. Amazing how 21st century technology is working its magic.
So true! The lady was truly divine! She sings with such passion and is such a beautiful woman. She respresents all that is sorely missed today.
Timeless song ... however it is sung, and Deanna Durbin sings it magically! Listen to her sing Annie Laurie and Danny Boy - classic! An amazing talent.
I wish today's female singers were more like this.
How beautiful
What a range and beautiful voice. And beautiful.
One of the Century's Greatest lyrical sopranos!
Note the ease and the sincere tonality
in her singing.
It simply gives hours on end of listening pleasure.
You can never die Edna May. You will still be enthralling millions of people in a thousand years from now when most other so-called entertainers are long forgotten. We are priviledged to have been your contemporaries.
God Bless, Deanna Durbin !! She had said in later life, that she she only could put her feelings into , any of the songs she sang , that she truely had a feeling for & felt ..
hard to believe that a human being can hit such notes.. It's like a violin..outstanding..
only once in life time does a beautiful singer appear may we never forget her
I couldn't agree more! We sometimes listen to a modern song and think it's somewhat ok or good ...but when we here something like this ...WOW! This is music! and poetry! and beauty! and real passion! (not the vulgar filth today) I love the Irish and Scottish songs, they are so passionate and poetic.
What a voice! She sings clearly and freely, even in the very high tunes - and it's never shrill or disagreable (as often with female singers), it's pure joy. Amazing.
Beautifully haunting rendition by a great artiste. May she always be remembered!
Beautiful and enchanted song and performance. Thanks for uploading.
Rest in peace, Ms. Durbin. We are so lucky to have these recordings of your beautiful singing.
I wish my father were alive now. He then could have enjoyed UA-cam clips of Deanna Durbin and many talented entertainers he found when he was so young. Times have changed and we are experienceing miracle through technology. What a wonderful world despite all the unchanged problems. I am enjoying Deanna with my father in heaven.

Goosebumps. Beautiful.
I could listen to Ms. Durbin sing this song for hours. Absolutely beautiful.
Consider this my favorite version of Loch Lomond. The movie was great too. Heartfelt? Did you see her tears? Just beautiful.
Wow, not only beauty but a fantastic voice!!
Her voice is so amazing, this song is emotion incarnate, and she is extremely beautiful. This video and Deanna are the trifecta of beauty
amazing voice and one of the most heart-rending and beautiful songs ever written
A roomful of people being affected by a woman singing a beautiful ballad; reminds me very much of the final scene in Paths of Glory. Enchanting.
By far the best rendition i have ever heard sung by the greatest female singer god ever createted ,
Beautiful. Scotland for Ever.
There want be other like her again r i p deanna
Very beautiful song, very beautiful person.
I swill never forget her lovely voice. G Mc
What a sublime moment! Way beyond the capacity of present singers with they're phony emotions.
Wonderful voice, great diction and projection..no need for electronic or digital manipulation ,just pure natural talent. Beautiful Loch Lomond, hear Pfizerpfonics Choir sing the Jonathan Quick choral arrangement.
I sang this for my schools cabaret night. I was always in choir and always loved to sing but I was always the shy quiet girl in the back who would refuse to sing infront of people, so you can Imagine everybodys surprise when I started singing this on the stage. My Grandmother came from Scotlnd and asked me to sing this when she dies. I love her and this song so much.
The love interest is playing the piano. The two older guys are a famous writer and a Broadway producer who are scouting her out. You'll see more closeups of these people in my Schubert Ave Maria video, which comes from the same movie.
Amen!
No one ever made me "get" this song before. I just sat and cried while I listened. I love this woman's persona and her beautiful voice. I have forgotten the film it was in, I've been watching them all.
This is amazing
stunning and beautiful!
She has a BEAUTIFUL voice!!!!!!!i love her cause I have family in scotland😊😊😊
Such a talent what a voice. Up their amongst the greats. Denna Durbin Judy Garland and Kathryn Grayson showed that even thou the studio systems of the thiries and forties were flawed and destroyed numerous careers and lives the end product more times then not was epic. So I salute you icons for your timeless classics and immeasurable talents.
18 year old Deanna Durbin
Thank you for the info. She sure did sing that song very well and with such class and grace.
Frankly one of the greatest folk songs of all time...on the vocal front: just been gushing on Deanna's version of 'Danny Boy' so won't repeat...but the love & compassion for the subject matter in her interpretation of the song is just so moving & inspiring for modern singers...all round marvellous, thanks for posting!
Can u imagine being lucky enough to sit in that audience? wow
We all put Deanna on the back burner these days; however, such a wonderful actress and singer, above all, should never be tucked away. Her version of 'Danny Boy' is one of the finest I have ever heard. Thank you for posting these.
RIP Deanna
I adore this song, and she is so gorgeous!
I have just the movie it`s a date and watch Deanna grow from a pretty young actrss into a very very beautiful young lady a fine actress and a wonderful singer i would like to ask anybody ot watch this movie because we may never see the likes of her again,i would like to thank you tube for posting this video because Deanna is a treasure we cannot aford to loose
So very angelic! Such a very beautiful lady. Much respect to you Lady Deanna by a 14 year old fan.
Really beautiful ! This movie was made in the same year I was born.
Gorgeous - I cant help but get a lump in my throat and a few tears come to my eyes - Beautiful!
Absolutely beautiful,thanks for sharing.
I am trying to learn the song in the ukulele. Which is a very happy instrument for such a sad song. But is the only one I know how to play. Deanna plays with such feeling that I get the sadness I show be playing with. Thanks for sharing.
This transports me to a place of great tranquility. Thanks Deanna.
this is the apex of humankind's emulation of the gods- Mz Durbib is a vocal freak in the best sense- since no one caan be taught such effortless and cosmic renderings- these clips are great lessons into the vast and profound depths and zeniths to which mankind may aspire, finding in Mz Durbin its voice-
Another voice from my childhood.
Very sadly, we don't have great singers like this anymore. If there are any, they go unharvested, and never get the recognition they deserve. I am so sick of today's garbage they try to pass off as "music."
Marvelousl rendition by Deanna Durbin...truly touching!!!
Thank you for sharing this gem.
She was 18
When she sang this in 1940. From Its a Date.
I would just like to say that this is a wonderful love song, and always will live, whatever interpretation, whatever singer.
The double-chinned guy with the glasses is the famed character actor S. Z. "Cuddles" Sakall, who was in (among many other movies) "Casablanca." The guy with the cigar sitting next to him is another famous actor, Walter Pidgeon. (He was also Dr. Morbius in "Forbidden Planet.")
Incredible voice and absolutely stunningly gorgeous.
I'm green with envy.
How can it be, that a poor people on the edge of Europe can put so much truth in its songs? Let´s meet all together at the banks of Loch Lomond, where all human voyages must end. Come on, join us, humanity and love is just a step away.....
Thank you for sharing this with us. It is priceless.

Just Wondeful. I adore Deanna. Thaks for putting this up
Thanks for sharing. I have always enjoyed Deanna's films, what a beautiful voice.
Many, many thanks for posting this video. It reminds me of who I am and who I should be.
thanks for the upload. a beautiful version of the song.
Deanna Durbin celebrates her 89th Birthday on upcoming Saturday 04 Dec!
Beautiful
I absolutely love this song! her voice! her beauty! God love the Scots!
happy birthday
Oh wow... she is SO gorgeous in this scene. Her hair suits her face very well like that. And of course she sing this amazingly- that goes without saying!
You know, it is sad that she left show business after such a relatively short time (leaving a mere 22 films for us to survive on!), but I am almost glad she did leave Hollywood and all before it ruined her (she left it because she hated what it was becoming), like it did so many other actors and actresses. She sure had her head on straight...
❤
This wonderful song by Deanna Durbin is from the 1940 movie It's A Date.
wow this just made me cry... so beautiful especially if you know the meaning and are Scottish
In the room of Anne Frank, a poster of Deanna Durbin was affixed.
Where have all those great actresses gone. god picked them everyone. and we have left with terrible actresses today. What a shame
Before I heard this song I was a mere mortal, I now belong to a class of select few.
My wife is named after Deanna Durbin!
@violinthief Sounds like a good plan to me too. Just like the movie Showboat, Paul Robeson does a fantastic performance of Ole' Man River even if he wasn't a slave. I have a few of his songs on the old 78 RPM records including that one. Thanks for posting Deanna.
Back when people could sing.
nice
I loved it, we need more of this, the musics of the present don't have so "soul in music", emotion =)
Hey 24AngelChild68, I am so, so glad you paid all this respect to Her. She is so, so far back from my past. And, here is you so, so young. I love you.
ロクローモンド懐かしい曲です。高校の頃音楽の時間に習いました。日本の誰かが作曲した「5番街のマリーへ」メロディーが大変似ています。多分この曲が心の中にあったのでしょう。
WOW
What a wonderful voice and no electronic technology in 1940, just the beauty of a pure human voice. A great recording. Check out Pfizerpfonics Choir in Cork Ireland for a wonderful performance of Jonathan Quick's arrangement for this special Scottish song.
5 stars from Poland!
nice one!
Cualquier canción por vulgar que fuera Deanna Durbin la hacía maravillosa. Rest in peace.
Todays garbage you write about is ironically tomorrows classic tune. There is room for every taste l think. Nevertheless, this is a a wonderful song and wonderfully sung.
@louisa1832 Louisa - that Annie Laurie upload was wonderful, and I'm sorry to see it gone. It wasn't on my channel, but I had a recording laying around, so I just put together a video and uploaded it. I hope you enjoy it.
On better definition video she sheds a tear around 2:26
