What a great version! This song was my parents' song. They met in 1931 and married in 1934. I never heard this version before, and it's just wonderful. Thank you.
This is a wonderful presentation. I really despise the folks who play the music and show the record label, as if that is enough. These folks welcome us into their home and their "victrola" collection, and let us listen to the music. I love it. Thankyou for your adventurous attitude and your capacity for sharing.
I think this is Bing's best song. He reaches the heights with this one. Don't know if anyone else sings it, but in my view Bing's is the definitve version.
This rendition was heard at the opening credits of the second half of, "Poor Little Rich Girl: The Barbara Hutton Story." When Farrah Fawcett passed away, I immediately thought about the title role she played in that mini-series. Ironically, the real Barbara Hutton died in 1979. She was buried in the Woolworth family plot inside a cemetery in the Bronx, New York. She was nearly penniless at the time of her death.
you crank a mean Victrola Fuzz, and beautiful it is- as is the decor. May I assume you have anti-macassars on the Chesterfield? Watching the vid and listening to Bing felt like being in Aunt Mildred's (nicknamed Toots) parlour, which, in 1957, hadn't changed since 1927 as I remember. Great tune- and would any one under 50 know what a 5&10 cent store was? Thanks for doing a nice job on this. -Bill
@chel1028 OMG such a beatifull story.....she was her millon dollar baby!! so romantic!!! with a happy ending!!! poor Barbara hutton she was´n that lucky she has millons but no love!
Whew, talk about naustalgic, I don't get quite the same feeling with the big band sound, like Glenn Miller or Benny Goodman, altho it can compare. It must be the way it sounds coming from that music box/record player. We use to have a wind up record player kicking arounsd and I made a mistake byy playing a coule of my 45's on it a few too many times..the vinyle was turning white, and I kidd you not. We got a better record player soon after that wasn't so hard on those r&r records I was buying
What a delightful story with a lovely melody. How could love at first sight be better depicted.
The best pop singer of all time! Love that Bing sound!
