How painful to think that these extraordinary people are gone and never to be replaced. What fortune I had to have them in my memory. Imagine the empty memories that today's children have in their minds...sad....
THANK YOU for taking us down memory lane with this BEAUTIFUL share. Danny Kaye was was a superb entertainer and I still love him after so many years. It's still fantastic listening to him. He was also a lovely, sweet man.
Oh dear, Oh dear... the way your voice appearing and performing made me unable to hold my tears...Soooo beautiful, as I love this song very, the image at 2:36 was very touching... I'm deeply moved by your work... As you said: verstile talent and immense humanism that man is.... We will never stop watching Danny or listening to his voice on a daily basis as long as we live....
Oh wow, I remember this song from my early childhood. Beautiful memories of my Mom teaching and then singing this with me after watching Danny Kay sing it. I must have been about 4. I enjoyed watching all of his movies, and continue to watch them to this day with my Mom. I am 59, and my Mom still has her beautiful voice too at 79.
Thank you so very much for adding your obvious talent to one of my favorite childhood memories and favorite people , Danny Kaye.( Truly one of a kind for all time.) How beautiful they are.
Thank you so much for your kind words - yes, Danny's talent was unique and even if this particular song doesn't let his usual gift for patter songs and accents stand out and shine, it surely brings to the fore his other blessing which is tenderness and kindness to children
I assume that you may be a professional musician, as I am. You certainly presented your voice in that manner, which prompted my comment. As a former adjudicator, my praise was seldom given and had to be deserved. You deserve it . So does Danny Kaye. Thank you again, too.
Sarah Hearn-vonFoerster i allways found Danny great, his kind of humor was in that time Unique. I loved it, and laught sometimes as hard as i could, thanks
Danny Kaye has always been one of my favourite singers, and this song has always been one of my favourites among all songs. With the addition of your vocal, you've taken a masterpiece, and made a brand new one from it! It was superb! You had me in tears. I know you say it is only a hobby for you, but you truly have one of the best singing voices I've ever heard. I'm certain Danny Kaye would have loved this! Brilliant singing, and wonderful work on the video. Brava! 5 stars, and favourited! :)
Oh my, you have done a lovely job to a song that has been a part of my heart for many years. Finding it this evening, made me go ahead and sign-up for a g-mail account which is something that I never do (sign-up for another account), but I just had to let you know how this has touch me......Thank you! I have never tired of this song by Danny Kaye, now I have another version to listen too......
@mazay83 Well, you did a good job. I have watched it several times and it always brings a smile and a feeling of contentment. Danny Kaye was a special man.
@moontender Oh, thank you for your nice appreciation, yes, I was so deeply moved myself as I heard this song for the very first time, and then singing it along I realised how the voice itself feels the significance of these phrases, and I couldn't help wondering what Danny might have been thinking about as HE was singing it, and I tried to perceive it the same way :-) I hope I succeeded...
@singingkid Oooh, thank you for the kind words - it seems this was one of Danny's favorite songs (he performed it rather often even after "Hans Christian Andersen"), I couldn't help singing along ever since I heard it for the very first time !
@mattiescottage Thank you ever so much for the kind words. Yes, me too I believe that Danny loved music, loved singing, loved spreading this feeling among the people around him and loved getting that response from them as they joined him singing along. (I really hope that if I had that possibility of singing with him he wouldn't have kicked me out of his choir ;-P ! ) And if seriously, I adore so much the way he conveys deepest feelings and emotions with his voice - pure genius !
@mazay83 Absolutely Right :) did the 7 wonders of the world reveal their secrets of greatness completely and quitely to any body? of course NOT! So does all Danny's production :D

Floods of tears and they're all from me!
Why are there no Danny Kayes today.
What a star!
There are. We just don't know their names. But I agree, where are they all?
Just beautiful . My guinea pig loves this
Love. Love Danny Kaye! Something about his voice, and this song in particular, that has a profoundly calming effect on me.

the way you did this song made me smile all thru it. thank you for brightening up my day once again. can't thank you enough.
My sister and I always do a duet singing this. One does one, the other sings the other. Magical song!

@bemoia Thank you dear - was happy to hear that for you it brought up a smile - Danny's solo version never fails to produce the same effect upon me.
Danny Kaye: un bravissimo attore un po' dimenticato!
Dreams, are there. As I smile, I love this. And think of you and need your hugs now. Even more.
Thank you for sharing this version and montage of stills. Where did you get this version of the song and who is the woman singing with him? Thank you.
Love you still. X
Thank you, I'm happy you liked it. I was hoping so much to do it the right credit :-)

@moontender Oh, no matter, how many times one watches these films - there will be always something new to discover and understand in them, right ?
@meileen1942 Thank you, really it's the least I can do to express all the gratitude for what he did for the world. :)
@mazay83 Absolutely Right :) did the 7 wonders of the world reveal their secrets of greatness completely and quitely to any body? of course NOT!
So does all Danny's production :D
I wish Sufjan Stevens would do a cover of this
