Joni James - There Goes My Heart (1958)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 9 лют 2025
- One of the best pop records ever made. Full of emotion! Charted at #19 on Billboard Hot 100 in November 1958. It brought Joni back to the Billboard Top 40 after an absence of 2 years. Her most recent Top 40 hit had been "Give Us This Day" in 1956. Written by Abner Silver and Benny Davis. Orchestra directed by Acquaviva. B-side is "Funny".
I have been a big fan of Joni since the first time that I heard her in 1952 when i was stationed at Johnson AFB in Japan. I am now in my high seventies and hearing her music brings back many memories of my youth.
Thank you Sir for your service.

My girl who would become my wife got me hooked on Joni's beautiful voice.
Jeez, I forgot to say that Joni James was, and is my favorite female vocalist, and one of the few I can listen to for 10, 20 songs, and never get bored
I HEAR YOU......
Joni's is one of the first voices I remember hearing. Always a fave.
One of the best and top singers of her generation her love songs were played on every juke box in America.
Yes, she did get a lot of juke box play...I believe they called her: "Juke Box Joni" at one time. I think she's just fantastic and I'm a die hard Brenda Lee fan!!
I remember my mom playing this song almost weekly, she really liked it, I didn't understand then, except I liked the piano in the background as was the norm for most all music then. Now as an adult the song is wonderful.
One of the best singers you can ever hear, great voice one of the best.
I second that. My father had some 78 records of her. I was 10 yrs old I loved her then. Had a chance to see her in person NYC late 1990s and had a chance to meet her back stage. What a night that was. Also she had a pink airplane she would perform around the world.
GREAT CONCERT FOR MY 68TH B'DAY! HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME..

I feel head over heels for Joni when I first heard Purple Shades. My infatuation with her beauty in both voice and person has never subsided. What a treasure.

My Dad's all-time favorite female singer. She was gorgeous, classy, & what a voice ! Love you, Joni James. -------------------------WolfSky9, 74 y/o
Yes, this recording provided Joni with a top 40 comeback. It was the first of her records with this new orchestral sound with a beat. Her following singles used the same formula and a great one it was.
memories of long lost love/ how it happened till now i could not understand but it was wonderful event of my life.
My favorite Joni recording, along with "There Must Be A Way". Glad you like the picture, and thank you for all the comments John!
I have been in love with Joni James since I was twelve years old. "I'll never stop loving you ".
Her voice just...shimmers!

I cant get enough of this beautiful voice .I love her to bits
i also can not get enough of her lovely voice !
I CANT GET ENOUGH ... !
The solution to having her in front of you when she sings is to put your set
on "REPEAT" I do on all her songs but to this day I can't get enough of that
Beauty and that Voice. When you love someone you just love someone.
That's when I see her...close your eyes and vision her there.
Bbbnbb
What a great talent, beautiful too.
One of my Mother's favorites.
JONI MADE THE TRANSITION INTO THE ROCK AND ROLL ERA....THERE GOES MY HEART TELLS THE STORY....WHAT AN EXPRESSIVE VOICE....NONE BETTER BEFORE JONI OR AFTER...
One of my favorites by Joni. I loved her voice when I was a kid.

THE ANGEL OF SONGS IN THE 50'S & 60'S
This was the first "adult" song I learned to sing when I was a kid...before that all I knew were nursery songs..and Tagalog songs which I sang very well too!

People like Joni and Timi Yuro To be introduced to a younger generation my friend introduced me to Joni about 10 years ago and I’ve been listening to TimI About two years
I loved Timi Yuro especially "Hurt"! And of course, Joni James.
Great to hear this rendition again afterso many years.
Thank you for sharing and thank you, sessnaxz fo sending.
There goes MY heart thumping for this woman, Her crescendos, glides and tremeloes are amazing
This cover, by the way, was to have been the cover to an L.P. titled "There Goes My Heart" but instead M-G-M went with the later album "More Joni Hits." The recording session for this record was just amazing. Joni did four songs, two yet to be released, and she did one of them brilliantly. And this is all live, Joni singing with the entire orchestra, not to tracks. Morty Craft is credited as producer but, really, Joni did the producing, even altering the arrangement a bit.
Thansk Mike for sharing.
"Tonight we love" was one of the best from Joni James, but too bad it's not here.
Aw, memories of 1959
My favorite Joni song - a well-written song sung by the best female singer ever !!
I agree. What a class act. No one comes close. I was thrilled to meet her in person. It made my Christmas.
@TheLimePopsicle In many respects Joni was slightly ahead of the trend in pop music in the late 50's and 1960's, certainly among pop vocalists of taking soft ballads and applying a strong back beat percussion sound with orchestral strings and pronounced chorus backing. Dean Martin applied this formula with great success in the 60's and was followed by others such as Jerry Vale, Al Martino etc... They are all missed !!
Love gained, Love Lost
This is exactly what was heard in the recording studio when this record was recorded. The full orchestra was right there with her; she never sang to pre-recorded tracks. This was the first session at which Tony Acquaviva finally conducted for Joni, in the seventh year of her recording career, and with his deep classical study and training he amazingly proved perfection for conducting Joni's first rockaballad.
May God Rest Tony She gave up her Singing to take of him.That is true Love and the very Best a Person can do. May God watch over Joni!
Appreciate your comments. I am a musician/was a music teacher. it's good to see an informed comment. today's recording use auto tune "Don't worry Bruno, will fix you vocal later with auto tune, otherwise we waste time and money." lol. Singers of yeserday had to nail it. Unless they just wnated a different take (Sinatra did it a lot), not correct a load of mistakes. Although I must say Lady Gaga can really sing and proved it with Tony Bennett duo a few years back.
Great comment.
Still great all the wayi drom 58.
Quintessential "There Goes my Heart" is Dinah Washington version in 1960. The real deal. So heartfelt.
bullpucky
There goes my Heart to the one I Love
LAKE WOOD PARK PA. JONIE SANG MY LOVE MY LOVE LOVE HER.
Another good one, it reached higher than 'There must be a way 'anyhow..
Molto bene!!!!! Joni XXXX
Regarding the marketing dollars for Joni, well, I was there already running a Fan Club for her (at age 13) and involved in promotion and the story is M-G-M had to expand its marketing and distribution because Joni was selling so much bigger than any of its artists ever had. Hank Williams was a country giant but the country market was limited. Joni from the start became a gigantic international seller. She did it on her own not as a result of some marketing largesse.
You know Tom,back in those days HK hit parade chart normally review the top ten only, or top twenty at the most, so any songs after that we could hardly heard of, Remembered the radio music programme of that era, the DJ will normally read out large number of dedicaion list which last 5/7min & played the requested song for 2/3min, so we could hardly had a chance to listen to songs after the top 20s!!
Another example of Joni coming up with her own hits. She thought of putting this standard to a rock beat while waiting to be served in a New York deli before she and her husband Tony set off to visit his parents. She did want to enter the rockaballad field, as it was called then, but she also wanted to be doing a quality song, some some passing fancy. There were just a few takes, and the ones not used were as good as the released version.
@4george2 I am very grateful for your kindness as well! Please feel free to keep making comments on my videos, as I love to receive positive comments! It always helps motivate me to continue posting! :)
LOL There Goes MY Heart!! Back when Women had talent AND Class!
THE EP cover was actually the cover planned for an LP titled "There Goes My Heart" but Joni doesn't think she ever even saw a song listing for it because M-G-M executives were forever planning Joni compilations without asking her and she had the contractual right to approving any release and could decline. She believed any recording should be available only on any one album, not remarketed and remarketed. Four songs were recorded at the "There Goes My Heart" session, two still unreleased but Joni has the masters and she still plans to issue them in a special collector's album eventually. Her unreleased recordings are every bit as outstanding as what was released.
I like this song a lot and wrote a parody of it.
"🎼There goes my brain,
Into the thick, thick fog ...🎼"
I wrote this parody because ever since I had COVID I've had terrible brain fog. I had COVID from Memorial Day to mid-June. And I still have brain fog.
The first stereo 45 ever released
Per IMDB she was born in 1930 and is still around.
You're welcome!
You are very welcome!
I SEEN HER PERFORH IN THE 50S NO THEATRICS NO FIREWORKS AND TWIRKING JUST STOOD UP TO THEMIKEAND THRILLED YOU
@26greenrose You're welcome!
Love her voice ..where is she now ?
@4george2 You're welcome!
IT explains why she'Barbra Steisand's favorite singer
Ef Barbra Streisand.
yeah. Mr. T Oldies, you're so right. I mean, not that Hip Hop has any intrinsic value, other than a constipated beat, but even the "vocals" are enhanced by "vocal processors" and various other electrical gimmicks. Well, I too am a gigging musician, who has been turned into a "gagging musician" by the monotonous. amelodic crap that passes as music today. Sorry if I'm old and old-fashioned
dont u think Patsy Cline and many others were influenced by Joni?.....listen to EARLY Connie Francis...
Hey LimePopsicle: Your kindness in sending me that email is overwhelming (I am listening now) and is there anyway I can return your KINDNESS? Let me know as there are not enough kind people in this world and those that are should be rewarded. Ever grateful!!!
This is the same orchestration that MGM employed when launching Connie Francis in 1958...hey, why change horses, right?
Yes, I always thought MGM was grooming Connie Francis to be their next "Joni James"! I love both of them!!
The second best Bond theme, after You Only Live Twice
While I respect the work this lady put into her career, there's an imbalance when an overwhelming vocal talent like, say, Rita Moss fades into the shadows while... well, those MGM marketing dollars certainly didn't hurt, right Ms. Babbo?
Don't take it from me folks, listen for yourself.
