- A beautiful intimate version of a great song. From the movie, "Sunny Side Up" starring Janet Gaynor and Charles Farrell. This song charted at #6 for Paul Whiteman and His Orchestra (vocal by Bing Crosby) in 1929. Also recorded by the High Hatters (which I've posted as well), Belle Baker and many others. Recorded December 4, 1929. Written by Buddy De Sylva, Lew Brown and Ray Henderson. The other side of this record is "If I Had a Talking Picture of You" which I've also posted.
my aunt was a friend of Miss Hanshaw; I met her and was astonished how lovely and elegant she was; I had such a school-boy crush on her and have worshipped her ever since. R.I.P. Annette (from your biggest fan)
What an honor.
I am writing about Annette Hanshaw as part of my Grandfather's jazz legacy. She recorded and travelled with my Grandpa Bob Effros. Please contact me beffros@gmail.com www.bobeffros.blogspot.com
That’s so cool ! What else can you tell us about how she was irl ?
You are very welcome! Annette is my favourite female singer of the 1920's and early 30's.
Aren't we all in search of happiness
To each one it means a different thing
To some it's wealth, to some it's health
To some it's only what love can bring
Please don't blame me if I'm human, too I'm the same as you and you and you I'm a dreamer, aren't we all
Just a dreamer, aren't we all In my dreams each night it seems
My lover comes to call
He's so charming, so big and tall It's alarming how I fall
He's divine, but then he can't be mine
And I'm a fool, but aren't we all
I'm a dreamer, aren't we all
Just a dreamer, but aren't we all
In my dreams each night, each night it seems
That my lover, my lover comes to call.
small corrections: the first time: he's so charming, strong and tall / He's ideal, but then he isn't real
Many thanks for these two beautiful songs of my favourite Annette Hanshaw.
It's such an intoxicating pleasure to hear real singing again... Wow!
The quality of sound is amazing for something so old
Are you here??
aren't we all... You bring alot of joy to many people, Tom..thanks.
She was also very modest. She didn't care much for her own singing, although, in my opinion, she's likely the best female singer of her time period.
The first time I heard hey sweet voice I was smitten and resent the fact that I was born far too late to have ever met or known her.
Beautiful music back then!
You can almost smell the cigarette smoke and scotch and soda that goes with music like this... Aaaaahhhhh
I was born this year ..... but yes ....I've been a dreamer!
Hi ! It has been so long since I have re-booted my PC. I'm glad I did! I really appreciated your song and its sentiments.....with that good rag-time piano in the background! Sometimes I'm tempted to be a believer in reincarnation. Although I wasn't born until April 3, 1929,I find it ethereal as when I read or see events of the Roaring Twenties. It's almost a dejavu sensation. If you take a notion to do another rendition,I would surely enjoy it! Thanks much! Jim
@@songsnsmiles81 how are you now??
Thanks for the uploads! When I was a kid, my Pops used to play all these great songs on his stereo and 8 track players. Watching old cartoons, I learned to love these great tunes, operas and concertos! Nowadays, everything is c-r-a-p! My wife catches me singing some old songs making my voice sound like it's coming from a horn from the victrola. Thanks!
Love this one. It is a superb addition to my "playlist".
Thanks for sharing.
She sounds good, and looks even better.

Have to definitely agree with that. When I was a kid, there used to be the saying that someday machines would take over the world. This is a perfect example of how much better music used to be when made by real people. :)
Enjoy the piano background, too. Didn't need all those fancy instruments we have now........just that talent of good people.
Trying to learn a bit of this song for a scene in the play I'm in. We're doing The Comedy of Errors, set in the 1920's, and I'm playing Luciana. The director wanted me to find a 20's song to sing a bit of in one scene.
This is awesome! WHAT IS HAPPENING TO SOCIETY?! In 2012 the world will end because someone will make a (rap is one letter away from crap :D) rap song and it will make everyone brains explode
Wow
You are so very welcome!
Your have a remarkable talent and also present, I love your music and look forward to hearing you as long as I live.? i play piano where i obtain this sheetmusic for that?
@meileen1942 Most pop songs today are made with computers, not even real instruments. It's a lot cheaper that way and modern pop music is manufactured garbage. Talent has left the business. Real music lies in older recordings.
you're 14 and this is deep
. . . I was sure this one had it in there, too.
~guess not.
