Till There Was You (Cover) - Allison Young

[@rybpo7]

One of my fondest memories is of slow dancing in the kitchen with my mother while she sang this song in her beautiful voice. Your version was the closest I could find to that and it made me weep. Thank you for posting this, dear girl.

There is a resurgence of young artists falling in love with great songs of the 30's and 40's. Thank you for being you!

[@rnedlo9909]

Yes and fifties and sixties. "Till There Was You" was from the 1957 musical "The Music Man" by Meredith Willson. So much better than the noise being produced today.

[@nickdryad]

@@rnedlo9909 Good point. Do you think that because the musical is set in the 1900’s, they wrote it so it sounded timeless?

[@LoisAGrimm]

My son is 17 and really into older music. ❤️

[@Jeb-19]

Exactly. Well done.

[@katiescarlett5249]

I hope young artists will fall in love with the Great American Songbook. This music has to stay alive. The music is beautiful and complex and the lyrics are stunning poetry.

[@ty9884]

This was my father's favorite song.He took me to see "The Music Man" when I was about 5. Whenever I run across something like this, the first thing I think is "Man, I have to send this to Daddy." Then it hits me, "Aw, damn. He's dead." His birthday was Oct. 6. He would have been 95. And he'd have loved your music, Allison.

[@johnmanning4577]

Your Daddy's love of this music is not dead...it lives on in you. Good job

[@chesslerbooks]

The widow of Meredith Willson, the composer of The Music Man, has stated that her husband's estate eventually received more income from the royalties of the Beatles recordings of Till There Was You, than it originally received from the actual play.

[@macedindu829]

Interesting. Frankly, kinda sad. What a play/movie that was.

[@conniec7650]

The Beatles version is really pretty too! Loved The Music Man movie! One of my all time favorite movies!

There are many comments about the great music of the 60's and 70's (me included), but great talents like Alison remind us that great music is timeless as long as it is pure and genuine in presentation.

Another hidden gem on You Tube !!!

[@CatPenny]

i went out of town to visit my Mom today, first real visit since February, because of quarantine. She suffered alone for two weeks in the hospital with covid a month ago, and quarantine had already made her lonely, as dad works nights. She is losing her memory, and it's a very sad and tough time for our family. When I played this song, she started singing along, and it was a real emotional thing. We wound up playing 5 or 6 videos, and it made her day. It reminded of her youth in the 50's and 60's. Mom said you are so pretty and loves your voice and playing. Now that we have our Saturday nights back, watching your vids will be a regular thing. I can't thank you enough, Allison.

[@rocketpost1]

You have a great voice Allison and sing beautifully. Strangely though, you have the look of a silent movie actress maybe somebody like Clara Bow. No-one else has commented on this but I think it is something to be cherished.

[@lemurianchick]

I think she was going for that look and the way the video appears is like a sepia tone. I love that look.

[@rksnj6797]

With her appreciation of these old standards, a friend would say she has an "old soul".

[@lebarosky]

No, truly, she looks like Lillian Gish. She also carries herself with an unusual dignity for one of her age. Good call, there.

[@tomcline5631]

The term you're looking for is classic beauty! She is amazingly beautiful, perfectly symmetry. Just lovely!

Thank you, Allison, for this beautiful cover. I know this song goes way back but the earliest I can remember it was off an early Beatles album. A good friend had a small record player and was a big time Beatles fan. We would listen for hours of great music. Currently my friend has cancer and is not expected to live much longer but memories will last for me for a long time. Keep up the great work Allie, Burlington Bill busking on the road and here on you tube.

Your rendition of this song was hand-made for the word 'wow.' So here goes... WOW!

[@willdwyer6782]

Written by Meredith Willson in 1950, the original title was till I met you. It was used in the 1957 Broadway musical The Music Man. It was performed on stage by Barbara Cook and in the 1962 movie version by Shirley Jones (Yes that Shirley Jones). Anita Bryant recorded it in 1959 and the Beatles recorded it in 1963.
