Dear warholsoup, always bringing us the best. From the very, very first note I LIKED it. What else could I do? That music from Fats Waller and the lyrics from Andy Razaf, along with Mr. Austin's great voice, could only create a success. I must tell you how sorry I feel that some of the black community in the USA have not been able, it seems, to recognize how much Fats Waller was considered, admired and respected by white musicians, although I do know about the nameless abuses, since I have read much of that part of American History that is so sorrowful, so sad, tragic and shameful. Right here they have another reason to feel proud of this Grand artist who is even mentioned in our days, since he left a true LEGACY. God bless them all! Warholsoup, so this March/2020 is over, right today. I hope there won't be dates like these again, but we don't know, so I can just wish the very best to everyone everywhere. I want to add how much I loved this song by Gene Austin, who seems to me as a lyric tenor, and I make clear that I DO like it because I could not avoid wanting to hear a version by Al Bowlly, his contemporary. It's because this music sounds like what Al Bowlly sings. (Does that version exist?) I am sure I'm not the only one who thinks so. Marvelous video...and thanks for the lyrics!!!

Best version of My Fate Is In Your Hands. Love Gene Austin's voice on most all of his recordings from the late 1920s and early 1930s. Notice in this great version, you have a chance to hear the piano player without the singing. Most of the other recordings of this song, the orchestra is heard in the background and the vocalist sings throughout the entire recording.
