Blue Tango - Leroy Anderson

[@Ranpoe14321]

I didn’t live back in the 1952s so I don’t know how important the song is but after listening to the actual version… it’s almost too good.

[@bryanpalser6333]

1952 I was doing national service,the Blue Tango came on and I danced up and down the billet on felt pads.I helped to polish the floor !!!!!

[@Foomba]

Bravo. I was a very young boy in 1952 and remember this on the radio.

[@creoleperez6971]

In the 1950s Blue Tango was the very standard our family used to teach me and the other young ones to Tango..many Saturday afternoons in my Grandmother's formal dining room in her home in New Orleans....with the long dining room table pushed to the far wall was our dance studio ..with my beautiful young aunts with their long glossy raven black hair ..and delicate Castilian facial features ( they were only four to five years older than me teenagers at the time .Spanish Creole debutantes. ..they were Dad's younger sisters out of eleven children ..I have fifteen myself ..we believe in large familias..) they would teach me the Tango ...the dance of passion ..thank you dear aunts and Leroy Anderson for Blue Tango ..I still dance to it til this very day ❤️👍🏼

@creoleperez9671 same here - my Mum and Dad were gret dancers - especislly as my Dad was the lead singer at Bombay Ritz Airlines Hotel & had his own spot on All India Radio. He was knwon as the Nat King Cole of Bombay, and fortunately fornmy brother and me, we were exposed to a wide range of culture, including this BEAUTIFUL aspect thereof!!! God Bless you Mum and Dad

I heard this on radio as a boy growing up in South Africa. It moved me to tears then and now, at 75.

[@pieterschutte9273]

I was 15 years and received my 1st record as a present. It still is one of my favourite music pieces. 1 am 83 years old now.❤

"Blue Tango" was the no. 1 song on the popular radio hit-parade in summer 1952; stayed there for (at least) two months. Interesting that Leroy Anderson had composed this instrumental some years before releasing it because he felt it had little commercial value "Blue Tango" is the ONLY purely instrumental composition ever to make no. 1 on the popular radio hit parade.

[@MyNarvik]

wonderful music full of childhood memories

[@julienielsen4462]

This was number one on the pop charts 1952.

[@Vic-mv8iz]

I remember this tune on the radio when I was a lad in the 1950s

[@1949waldo]

I wasn't a lad, I was a young married woman, but I LOVED this music!

[@kowhort]

So do I. The first song I remember on the radio and the first song that ever created a mood in me. I was about 5 years old.

[@jaypalmerittas4607]

Tango Azul by Leroy Anderson is one of the most beautiful tangos ever written. Of course "Serenata" is as beautiful as Tango Azul.

[@herecmztrouble]

I just love this melody!

[@rustinaginger9502]

I first heard this on the Radio Station WRMR - The Music Of Your Life - And fell in love with Blue Tango immediately.

[@louisasedinsedin1560]

My father loved this

[@Glendetta]

Such a LOVELY Favorite by Leroy Anderson!!!!

Tango azul...vuelvo a mi infancia Gracias KZbin

[@jaypalmerittas4607]

Agradecele al compositor Leroy Anderson por haber compuesto tan bella musica.

[@tomtransport]

My big surprise was that Montgomery County has a concert band in the first place. Great tune I remember well from 52, I was 10.

[@meroukou7119]

Oh! Musique du blue tango de mon enfance à la kermesse des soeurs de Saint Vincent de Paul.

[@acerjuglans]

This is such a fun song for the flutes! 🎶

[@jeffreyberkin-ez3uh]

Lovely performance.

[@reneeschodosky5487]

I could see myself dancing to this and I did. Beautiful melody. Don't make songs like this anymore.

[@estelleelizabeth1120]

This is the "theme for my cover-19 quarantine" and I love it!

[@DCM8828]

A darned fine orchestra! There's gotta be some possibly retired professional symphony players in that group!

[@ernestumana5237]

Esta música me transporta a recordar mi infancia en SEWELL mi ciudad natal ...me evoca lindos tiempos vividos en mi niñez...😍

Who was the arranger of this piece?

Bugs Bunny theme song

[@kapellmeisterbohmen9861]

This Band sounds good, but I have always the feeling, they are playing without heart and elegance. Tempo, technik, and harmonie is o.k.

[@michael69040]

Hardly "blue" as in melancholy and certainly not red hot. Sort of a washed out grey. What WAS Anderson's intent?

[@pierreboland8910]

Plutôt mollusque comme interprétation. Ce morceau doit être en contradiction entre le tango et le paso doble et en contradiction entre le planant de l'intervalle de 9ème majeur et la dynamique rythmique féroce. Sans le respect de cela, il s'agit d'un morceau inintéressant.
