I think in today’s age, this song has a lovely yet ominous undertone that I really can get behind. As a 22 year old, I try to find musical gems from every decade and era!

i was 22 years old when i really started collecting music of this kind

One of Carroll Gibbons favourites eminently danceable at The Savoy he played throughout the war.

Absolutely gorgeous side, beautifully sung.

thanks Sebastian, a long time favourite here too.. glad you enjoyed it

I like that version of the Columbia label colors it reminds me of the American one

[@waltergray7722]

I am not receiving any of your recent posts for some reason. Perhaps it may be due to a new computer which my Grandson set up for me. I will have to call him in to check for any errors. I am missing your musical treats greatly.

Hi Walter, i haven't been posting anything... not been active in the last four or five days

A great song, which despite my age, had only heard this year. A nice rendition too, BUT, I prefer the Carl Ravell version.

[@brians78s94]

The Ravell version is great..i love all the sound of lots of those ARC bands.. but this is a different class altogether

[@Dellcity1]

You should look up The Mills Brothers version. It's superb!

[@OLD_SOUL1900]

Guy Lombardo's version was the first one I had heard.💖

[@brians78s94]

@@OLD_SOUL1900 this version was my first.. and my favorite and this 78 has been with me for 30 years or so

[@OLD_SOUL1900]

@@brians78s94 Awww wow.😀 What a coincidence. I don't know but all the transitions in music and voice in Guy's version for example, "So Rare...you're like fragrance of blossoms fare..." to "...sweet as a breath of air" Oh! It just mesmerizes me. Guy's brother, Carmen, has a lovely voice. I guess it'll always be my fav. Carroll Gibbons comes in a close second.💖
