I sang this old song tonight in `The Lord Edward` pub , in Dublin, up stairs session, I think they liked it, i certainly enjoyed singing it as best i could with the help of some pints of the black stuff, Slainte.
I'm in the mood for love Simply because you're near me. Funny, but when you're near me I'm in the mood for love. Heaven is in your eyes Bright as the stars we're under Oh! Is it any wonder I'm in the mood for love? Why stop to think of whether This little dream might fade? We've put our hearts together Now we are one, I'm not afraid! If there's a cloud above If it should rain we'll let it But for tonight, forget it! I'm in the mood for love
Frances sang this song in one of the Bob Hope USO shows during WWII, and as she announced she was about to sing, "I'm in the Mood for Love," one soldier said, "You've come to the right place, baby!"
For anyone interested in the varied talent of Ms. Langford, download the Old Time Radio app, OTR and find the various shows in which she appeared, including the comedy, "The Bickersons" and the long running variety show, "The Chase and Sanborn Hour". She was multi-talented.
For some reason Francis had been taken off both apple music and Spotify! Its a total shame. I first heard her with Bing and Louie singing Penny's from heaven. I fell in love with these old movie stars, jazz and the whole era! My true favorite era for music!
Bob Hope recalled that when Hope and his team performed in a USO Tour for the troops in World War 2, Hope said Langford got the biggest laughs ever - when Hope introduced her onstage, asking what she was going to sing. Langford replied, “I’m in the mood for love”. One of the soldiers in the audience shouted “You came to the right place, baby!!” ...Rowby
If you're not familiar with Raft's work, you won't know he was famous for his 'expressionless' face, which came about as a result of his prior career as a professional dancer. Supposedly, after a dance partner's husband told him smiling made him 'look goofy' during performances, he decided to keep his face 'mask-like' and mysterious, aside from perhaps a flicker of emotion in his eyes. Carried into the movies, this could be highly effective (in his role as the hit man Guino, in Scarface) or strangely out of place, as here, where Ms. Langford is obviously singing from the heart, telling him she's in love with him....and only elicits a thousand-yard stare.
A few scenes later, she sings it to him again, and then they embrace and fall in love. It's part of the plot that she has fallen for him but he's all business...til the end of the movie...
You won’t believe it I first heard this song in a cartoon in the 1960's when I was a kid,
One of those special movie clips. Sophisticated. Great song introduced. Depression era. Frances nailed it, it's a classic.
Frances has a wonderful singing voice.
One of my favorites.
Hard to imagine it was 85 years ago that my cousin, Frances sang this song
Why?
@@direfranchement I have no idea what you mean by "why"? It is just hard to believe that much time has passed since she sang it.
You’re related to Frances Langford?? Wow 🤩♥️💕💕💕
She was my dad's 2nd cousin. Neither I nor my dad ever knew her, but my grandfather spent time around her and her parents.
@@royalprotector How special your family is, God bless. 💝
I wish I could buy this version. It’s the best

This film clip is a real gem!
Actually the whole movie is quite good. Raoul Walsh was very talented and Alice Faye is insanely good-loking.
@@bernardoschmidt Thanks! I really enjoy the old, old movies. I am thinking I will buy the DVD. I found it for sale online.
@@joecarlton6583 By all means, do. It's a cute and sweet small musical from the thirties with a superb cast and great songs.
I agree with you
Ruthie
It's the bee's knees.
Fabulous interpretation.
Lovely voice, great song.
I'm in the mood for love
Simply because you're near me.
Funny, but when you're near me
I'm in the mood for love.
Heaven is in your eyes
Bright as the stars we're under
Oh! Is it any wonder
I'm in the mood for love?
Why stop to think of whether
This little dream might fade?
We've put our hearts together
Now we are one, I'm not afraid!
If there's a cloud above
If it should rain we'll let it
But for tonight, forget it!
I'm in the mood for love
Che bella voce ! Splendida la canzone messa in canto da una voce e donna incantevoli , sono il massimo.

Hope said that got the biggest laugh he ever heard. All hail the Unknown Ad Libber.
@@esmeephillips5888 Yes, quite an ad lib for sure
I love that voice, gosh she was a beautiful singer.

thanks, for this eternally beautiful classic!!!
She was wonderful.

To me it was her singing "Broadway Rythm". I was hooked, completely.
And I thought Penny was from Dubuque.

Thanks for the Meories
Memories....
What a deep mellow voice to come out of such a slender girl!
Wow ❤
CLASSIC
❤
Frances 💓
Ok...!!!
👍👍
Raft's reaction in that scene makes no sense. That was a great rendition of this song by Frances.

Nobody sings it like Alfalfa !!
Thankfully :)
Was not her voice that of the era?
Love this version. The Julie London version is just too slow.
Wheres the lofi version of this
Look up "Retro Lofi" theres a playlist that has it
Her style was modern and unaffected for that time.
Yup. Same with "Broadway Melody of 1936"
They sing with an English posh accent then 😂
Слава Україні! Слава Героям!
Україна - понад усе!
ruZZia - SHIT 😅😅😅
