The Five Pennies - Lullabye in Ragtime

[@justylex]

I am only 51 but remember loving this movie when I was a kid. It was one of my dad’s favourites

[@lindajack7969]

My Dad took me to see the Five Pennies when I was 11 yrs old. I loved it and bought the album and I’m still playing it at 71. Thank you Dad for introducing me to jazz and to Danny Kaye, a great person and actor!🎶 🎼 🥇

[@keithdempsey721]

they don,t make classics like this anymore.just beautiful.

[@eamontrainor5990]

Danny Kaye was one of the greatest entertainers ever.He could sing dance and he was very funny.RIP

[@MM-yi9zn]

There will never be another Danny Kaye! A true Renaissance man!

[@terrimyers3337]

One of my favorite movies and this song is wonderful. Danny and Barbara sound lovely together.

[@RonGerstein]

Barbara did not sing, her voice was dubbed.

One of the most beautiful voices EVER!!! It has a velvet quality that very few singers are born with! And also the arrangement, the tonality of the song, the instrumentation and Barbara Bel.... IT'S JUST PERFECT!

[@funniq]

Danny Kaye moves me ... every time I hear this song with his sweet voice I get emotional ...

[@lesliehunt3841]

I agree - He is my favorite actor to have ever lived and I enjoy watching and listening to him singing and dancing...phenomenal!

[@Oviesard]

One of the greatest performers, actor, singer and so talented in every aspect... remember his films ... wonderful and a very generous person.

[@djjasperfox2194]

This is my fav movie! So glad my mum showed me it. Movie aren't made like this anymore. So pure and funny and such a great soundtrack.

[@sian7865]

I must have been about ten when somebody gave my father a large collection of vinyls and amongst them was the soundtrack to this film. I remember falling in love with this particular song, learning to sing it and playing the album repeatedly. This morning, for some reason, I woke up with Lullaby In Ragtime in my head and it's still as beautiful.

[@iamnowchristine]

Why was he so perfect at everything?! Such a great voice for lullabies! Seriously, I'm cannot find a single fault with this man.

[@kapuso7kapamilya2]

This heartwarming and soothing song "Lullaby in Ragtime" was brilliantly composed and beautifully written by Ms Sylvia Fine for her husband Danny Kaye's 1959 Paramount Pictures' The Five Pennies - an endearing and moving semi-biopic of Mr Red Nichols, the great American cornet player,composer,and jazz bandleader in 1920's.The great Danny Kaye can't only be praised for his excellence in gag scenes,impersonations,ad-lib's,and snappy songs,but also in poignant scenes and in having amazing voice.

[@minnahraghavan4532]

I just love this song the singer...been hearing it since the 70's..I'm 63 now and I sing it to my granddaughter Eleanor and truly she gets rocked to sleep.

[@jamesrobinson4028]

Ah, in tears here. My dad used to sing this to me.

[@tamibrodsky6585]

Same... My dad and I watched all the Danny Kaye movies .. I'll never forget them nor him. He was an amazing talent.

[@TheGemin1]

I loved this movie so much, I think I must have been about 6 or 7 when I saw it at the movies and cried so much at the end

[@trickykitty1838]

My choir is learning this, as well as pennies, so beautiful

[@tishphonewarnock9380]

This is one of my favorite songs from one of my most favorite movies of all time!!!

[@LizElske]

It was such a lovely movie. Loved the music

[@leesbrookaccount]

Absolutely fantastic, have loved this song since I was a kid, Danny is fabulous ... thank you so much for posting this.

[@davidhaber5304]

Great movie. Danny was so good in it. One of my favorites

[@mommacat66oh]

Great song...........Great movie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@Avery_4272]

Thanks for posting this wonderful song/scene. Danny Kaye was such an incredibly gifted performer (and a chef and an airplane pilot, too!). For those who don't already know, the song was written by Kaye's wife, the very talented Sylvia Fine. Eileen Wilson dubbed the singing beautifully for the great Barbara Bel Geddes.

[@angelarichardson7467]

A very old friend use to sing this to me ( sadly he,s gone now )love always xx Gordon xx

[@klippard874]

I love Danny Kaye! This movie makes me cry... but I love it all the same! Especially this song. I think I'll listen to it again!

[@adriancomtois834]

he is the best live all his music, he should have got a.medal.

[@moniquemalaurie9713]

Super film avec un Danny Kaye exceptionnel!

[@gloriaromero4670]

My babies cannot go to sleep without playing the pennies, sandman and signing in the rain. They love these songs and especially when there Daddy sings it to them.

[@FrauTatta]

This sounds so much better than on the soundtrack. I love when the music gets very loud in the end and the baby is asleep ^^

[@carmel35davis58]

I loved this film; it was the first album I bought with my own money! Great Sylvia Fine songs, sung by her husband!!!

[@CreatingPulsars]

great two films to watch to view Kaye's vast range of talents.

[@frankcortinas5823]

Annabelle Lane Great Singing n Movie Its Sad Todays Movies hav Little Love A Lost Art.

[@chadstarbuck]

Legend! Danny Kaye the likes of whom will never be seen again, the last great all rounder! awesome! Should be recognised by hollywood!

[@ajevanssinclairfollowyourh2791]

I want iu kids to grow up with us singing dancing MD a magical word of love laughter and safe where nobody can hurt them.A world of happiness and love xoxoxoxo

[@CreatingPulsars]

So, I love this song with all my heart and soul but that ending amps me up. I can't imagine this lulling any kid to sleep.

[@augustdevrouw8798]

Acteur complet et touchant... Chanteur à la voix douce & chaleureuse.

[@mjlambert80]

Superb film, brilliant song, amazing performer

[@krinaJ]

[@ymgrant1]

This is my favourite song, sing it to my godchild, brilliant melody Yvonne

[@mjlambert80]

Wonderful. Can't wait sing this to my daughter.

[@CrikeyJoSue]

I love this song... I still want to sing it with my band but no one wants to take the chance yet... I'll keep working on it :)

[@dept2]

Great song, great singing, great instrumental background! The female singer is Eileen Wilson who sang on some of the old Hit Parade TV shows. She dubbed Barbara Bel Geddes songs in the movie. Red Nichols' clarinet player Heinie Beau wrote the arrangement - you can hear Heinie playing clarinet also Hollywood studio sax player Wayne Songer.

[@CrispyDruid]

We miss you, Mr. Kaye. =,)

[@BartimaeusTrilogyFan]

SO beautiful.

[@kspill172]

Absolutly the best

[@klippard874]

I would cry if it would make Danny Kaye sing to me. That baby knew what she was doing!

[@K.KleopatraK.]

Oh, my God! For a few minutes I was in heaven.. another time and space!

[@sezzajane79]

[@rexy5]

I sing my kids to sleep with this song. I love it.

[@YourLovelyMan]

That’s never gonna put a kid to sleep, haha

[@clintsdatter]

It's a wonderful movie, in my opinion. I have loved it for many, many years - loved it growing up and bought it myself a few years ago. It's actually the story of bandleader Red Nichols (how accurate I don't know). Great movie, not silly at all. Highly recommend it!

[@mariagandara9229]

I Love The Five Penneys and I bought it on DVD I cannot watch without crying Just a Beautiful picture and the music😍💖

[@larrydawson2580]

Beautiful

[@freetobeme03]

[@pinkypooxx]

Love this

[@aylalalalalala]

I sang this to my daughter every night of her childhood!

[@nitathegooglegiggler.439]

l love counter melodies, there are so clever and sweet to listen to. The great one is Moonflower from the original movie Picnic with Kim Novak doing the sexiest dance for William Holden. Worth watching if you like good music and good acting. Nita.

[@christinataylor6572]

Nita The Google Giggler. The song in Picnic Movie ,wasn’t it “ Moonglow”? Loved that movie also..... 💜💕🌷💜💕🌷💜

[@utubeDaveutube]

Soooooo agree!!!!

[@coolgirl473]

omg luv this song my gran sung it to me all the time :P

[@JAPelicano1]

Funniest line in the whole movie is just after the baby is born and his wife asks him, "Did you see the baby?" and Danny Kaye replies, "Yes, but I won't hold it against you." XD

[@emma41093]

My favourite film as a child....I couldn't believe it was Miss Ellie!

[@JamaTheHutt]

just watched this movie and the court jester Danny Kaye FTW!

[@generationll]

A barbershop quartet in Alton Bay,N.H sang this on WGBH back in 1991

[@lynette4534]

I remember this is the first film i saw - rembering Greta Willie and Danny Kayexx

[@willemverheyen9492]

[@sameybor]

1:14 when the mother joins in ❤️

[@bizpubs]

Eileen Wilson dubbed the female part. The song was written (lyrics and music) by Sylvia Fine, who was Kaye's wife.

[@MsBedwell]

Try getting it on Amazon- I did - isnt he the handsomest guy ever ? just love him to bits.

[@krinaJ]

fave :D

[@EATHhable]

So this sucks because the perfect man is dead now. Darn it and my stupid birth order! Heavens above can you please give us another Danny Kaye? Thank you.

[@jkportfolio]

Love the guy smoking in the background

[@savinghumanityfromhomosapi2349]

Also see You Tube video Danny Kaye & Louie Armstrong - Goodnite - Five Pennies - Lullaby In Ragtime , from the same movie, where Louis Armstrong and Danny Kaye sing these songs, while child actress Susan Gordon sings "The Five Pennies", all in simultaneous trio. An underappreciated gem!

[@raymonko]

Rick Schwall I keep going to it whenever I am down. I brightens my day

[@colintraveller]

I have that sndtrk on vinyl released on London records

[@luthorfilio129]

great music is that true?? is the movie based in red nichols?

[@BartimaeusTrilogyFan]

@mrthrillernight Exactly what I thought when I voted! xD Perhaps it was an accident? D:

[@alanduggins6]

Who's playing the clarinet.

[@cinnamon91945]

I love this song, but it makes me sleepy( YAWN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@scarlettrogers7800]

Nice memories from my Dad...and noy I sing it to my son

[@freetobeme03]

I've never seen this one, surprisingly. Is it worth buying? I've seen a few of of his movies and some are more silly than others...how is this one?

[@frankcortinas5823]

freetobeme03 GREAT FEELING MOVIE N SONGS N ACTING

[@catherinevanderford8932]

It’s a great movie it’s one of my favorite

[@murrayporath]

It's a Danny Kaye movie. Most of the time he's playing Red Nichols, but Danny Kaye occasionally shine through. But the early and late scenes with him and Louis Armstrong are worth twice the price of admission. "Where you been Haydn?"

[@pbamse]

Who dubbed Barbara Bel Geddes ?

[@elainehott9303]

Eileen Wilson dubbed Ms Barbra Bel Geddes. I love the movie and then enjoyed her performance.

[@mrthrillernight]

who disliked this video? how could they?

[@kazla265]

My mum sing that when I was a baby 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

[@swspartanhwk]

they dont make movies like they used to.. its say.. in todays movies there is no soul, so spirit no nothing just how much money we can put into them and how much graphics and special effects. ill take old movies like five pennies and north by northwest any day

[@swspartanhwk]

almost everyone now adays

[@FoxxFiire]

@mrthrillernight It was probubly an accident
