For her genre, there was never singer better than the incredible Deanna Durbin. She was truly one for the ages.

STUNNING, STUNNING!!!!! What a pity there are not singers of this callibre singing today. Sadly we have to put up with less than mediocre forgettable singing nowadays!!! Brava Deanna!

I can sit and listen to this artist all day. She has a superb voice and a capacity to deliver a tune.

Deanna was an Angel, sent to us directly by God from Heaven.

Loving Kate Smith's version (which I certainly do) should not make any sane person hate Deanna Durbin's. That said, the good people of Philadelphia once booed Santa Claus and pelted him with snowballs, so anything's possible. Still, I think we have a disturbed individual who hates the U.S. or religion.

A true rebel song today.. It praises America and uses the "G" word

[@beeswaxer]

what a voice...

[@Bruce947]

Deanna Durbin had one of the most wonderful voices. i have several of her movies on DVD. only explanation i can give for the poor rating of God Bless America by someone is that is a Philadelphia Flyers fan who remembers Kate Smith singing at their home games during he 1970s. Their home record when she performed was almost perfect. they did a tribute to her a number of years ago, interspersing a video of her along with the daughter of the Flyers announcer singing it.

Amen! God Bless America! Love, Liz

It's interesting that Deanna was dropped from MGM in favor of Judy Garland (who for full disclosure I believe is a much greater talent), but then Deanna went on to a string of really, really enjoyable movies and do a great job in all of them. I wish Judy had the opportunity of the really fun movies that Deanna had instead of Mickey Rooney bouncing around like a wind-up doll. Anyway, this was a beautiful version of the song. Thanks so much for posting.

Thanks for the nice comment, Beeswaxer. I just posted it this morning, and someone came over and dropped a one star rating on it. That's never happened to one of my Durbin recordings before. I'm guessing this sad individual either hates Deanna, America, or God. Either way, that person has a lot of issues that one starring things he hates will not solve.

We were happy to give Deanna 5 stars; however we cannot pass this site without pointing out that the most likely reason for giving something excellent like this one star, would be either arthritis causing the hands to shake, or else simply not understanding that rating 5 stars means you must click on the righthand side rather than the left.
