- Donald Voorhees (1903, Allentown, Pennsylvania--1989, New Jersey) was an American composer and conductor. From 1935 to 1941, and from 1949 to 1953 Voorhees was the musical director and conductor for the radio and television show, Cavalcade of America. Voorhees also served as conductor of the Bell Telephone Hour orchestra for 26 years, from its first broadcasts on radio in 1942 until its final television episode in 1968. He was also the first conductor of the Allentown Symphony Orchestra.
„I'm Through With Love" was a hit song of 1931, made immortal by Marilyn Monroe's interpretation in Billy Wilder's comedy „Some Like It Hot" (1959). The couple of views in my clip show the historical Coronado Hotel, San Diego, where the movie was made.

Thank you, dr shayam
Thrawn S H A Y A M
I found this from a Shaym video too
Guess I'm not the only one haha
I also came here from Dr. Shaym
A great old tune and a nice arrangement, and the Marilyn photos were much appreciated. A terribly tragic life for the most part, used and abused by many, sadly.
I hit the teen aged years when she was very popular, and was the subject of many adolescent fantasies. Sigh.
Thanks for this.
Another HOW of typical high quality. Great pictures.
This should really be added in fallout
Indeed, I have been there and it is haunted also...Great song, Great movie, Great, Great actress.....thank you.....
This pretty much sums up the feeling of everyone living through the great depression.
reppin allentown pa hard thats my hometown
Great song...one of my favourties! Thank you very much for posting!
Nothing says “I’m a strong independent man who don’t need no woman” like this amazing song.
Super excellent with very good interesting photos
Thanks much.
I'm with you, Patrick. MM has no place among these great songs. The girl looked good, but she couldn't carry a tune in a bucket.
I never realized Don Voorhees lived in Allentown,Pa ,20 minutes from here.
Amazing!! Was looking for some softer music for once, and found this!
🔥🔥
A lovely song but it goes at such a lick that the pathos is lost - they seemed to want to get it over quickly! Made me dig out and play Bing Crosby's 1931 recording with a studio orchestra which is close to perfect - not yet on YT it seems.
It is now
@Desoto875 hello! So many good versions of this song, a classic, with great bands. But Alfalfa's performance still breaks me up, rooster and all.
Desoto? Hey- we had a '59 Desoto- great car. Back when we made things to last.
And Spike Jones had many very talented musicians, as well as lots of fun.
Thanks for writing.
I can't listen to this song without thinking of Alfalfa from The Little Rascals...
same!!!
I live in Allentown, thats crazy, I didn't know he was born here.
I'm from Allentown NJ lol
Nice vintage - pre-swing fox trot. Thanks.
I can understand a purist's point of view regarding Marilyn, but people do remember her singing this song in "Some Like It Hot." Thus the connection.
this is a great number. marilyn is just fine here; after all, she did a wonderful sultry version in Some Like It Hot. so she couldn't sing...well..so what; she is nice on the eyes...ha. thanks.
@cubanbach
she made this song famous or more famous than it was when she sang it in the movie Some like it hot. probably the one who uploaded this is a Marilyn fan or heard it for the first time in that movie either way there is some corelation between the pictures and the song
@baghend I hear the versions that were not done by Alfalfa, and still expect to hear the Rooster crow. Even as a very young child 5, or 6 I wished that Alfalfa had not had that Rooster accompaniment because the song was so very good (The Band). Sorta like Spike Jones version of "Laura" I think Vaughn Monroe was the singer, but the Orchestra was so good on that song before all mayhem broke out. I think I liked it better than the movie soundtrack version.
@tissetatten "Chacun a son gout...." In other words, it's just my opinion, you have another one. That's fine.
@LBETOCC absolutamente...
What's the place shown in the photo at 0:45?
@cubanbach totalmente de acuerdo me encanta marilyn pero su imagen es posterior a la música.
vocalist , vocalist , vocalist , ???????????????
Scrappy Lambert
How are you doing today I really miss oldies song with grandma and mom and dad oh oldies song with grandma is so sweet I watch it life concert with grandma
Great version of this song- nice to hear it in a fox trot-
Thanks
Well done
Did you ever see the Alfalfa version from the Little Rascals? hilarious- complete with a rooster in the back ground.
-Bill
maybe they want to see Jean Harlow who would be a movie star of this era. A fine song though, don't listen to the complaints.
Yea Thanks for your upload! I have to agree with cubanbach get rid of the Marilyn still...there are lots of pretty ladies in the 30's. Thanks again for the music.
why is Monroe in this?
she made it famous
Again: Thanks.
I like Lee Morse's version best.
@tissetatten --- silly fanatical talk...
@andreidinax ok....I guess that's ONE excuse to continue to overexpose Marilyn...although her image will forever be connected to the very late 40s, 50s and early 60s at most. Just my two-cents.
GET MARILYN out of there!!!!!! What the heck does she have to do with THIS MUSIC????????
she made it famous
Alfalfa
sorry but Marilyn Monroe really ruins still for me...(i love her but not here, please...)
A little rushed.
oh for god sakes. get this marilyn monroe stuff outta here. this GREAT DEPRESSION music.
