Vaughn Monroe - "Beware My Heart" - 1947

The highly distinctive voice of the Forties, Vaugn Monroe - with his Moonmaids and orchestra.

[@ronaldstrange8981]

I am now 87, and still listening and enjoying my boyhood hero. Kind regards to any of Vaughn's fans who tune in to this material. England, January, 2024.

[@smallhelmonabigship3524]

Vaughn Monroe was a favorite of my late father. Hearing this reminds me of my father. The music of your generation is really special.

[@frannieo1707]

He is a wonderful singer. Hope you have many more years' enjoyment of Vaughn's music.

I simply want to die to see all this beauty and know that we have nothing today. This is heavenly. What a voice, so much class, beauty, tallent.

[@thefunnytvmanofthenight1537]

If you think we have nothing today I don’t think you’ve been looking

[@td3993]

We have the recordings of then, and if we want these things now, then we must create them. Unfortunately much of the world has gone to trash culturally, musically. We can't wait for them to create this beauty because they won't.

[@garylawrence2728]

I watch TCM and live in the past because today truly sucks.

[@jamesbronson3347]

ONE OF THE BEST VOICES OF ALL TIME

[@ronaldstrange8981]

I am now 81 and still a great fan I have most of Vaughn's material on tape or disc. Discovered his music when I saw the Mickey Rooney film is 1952 "Sound Off". He dies far too young but is still remembered and will, hopefully be discovered by future generations. My favourite singer. Thank you so much for this.

[@IhoPissulyajnen]

Long live Ronald !

[@Antedithulian]

You don't have to worry Ron, I've certainly discovered him! Plenty of younger folk like myself gravitate to the oldies. We definitely lost some of this magic along the way.

Vaughn Monroe always had the voice that seemed to just exude gold..

[@chasdoer]

I did a broadcast with Vaughn Munroe in 1955. I was the announcer on a half hour show from Kenwick On the Lake, an outdoor dance pavilion near Sarnia Ontario Canada. Every time I hear one of his recordings I think back to that wonderful evening when I sat beside the Moonmaids between numbers. Charles Doering Mississauga Ontario

[@chrishuston1992]

I love how they sway back and forth, with such elegant class, something you rarely see nowadays

[@SocialAlchemyProject]

Vaughn Monroe was so excellent and elegant. He should have become more famous. He was really one of the finest. Too bad the recording industry and social media commons have not made a huge deal out of him like was seen for Dean Martin, et cetera. Vaughn is so spell-bioding. What a gorgeous voice. Tyler Lord Hamilton

[@IslaGrande]

In his time, the late 40's and early 50's he was as big and famous as anyone.

[@fazbell]

Monroe was reportedly very tough to work with. When you get that reputation, you cut yourself out of many opportunities. Even Sinatra had to make compromises.

[@ronreagan1404]

@@fazbell To the contrary. Musicians who worked for him, many for over a decade, had only good things to say about him. Even critic George T. Simon, who wasn't a big fan of the band or Monroe's singing, said that Monroe was one of the most pleasant guys in the business -- a very normal person in an abnormal world. Long time drummer Eddie Julian, whom I knew very well, said Monroe was very easy-going and a great boss.

[@GplusGains]

@@ronreagan1404 You knew Eddie Julian?

[@dillysgirl4ever]

I found out about Vaughn Monroe through my late mom. He was one of my mom’s favorite singers when she was in high school (mid-1940s), when she married my dad the year she graduated (1948) and into the 1950s. She bought an 8-track of his old songs and started playing it - I was within earshot and I really liked what I was hearing. That was when I was in high school (mid-1970s) and I’ve been a fan of Vaughn’s music ever since.

[@steveperry1344]

I'm a Vaughn Monroe fan as were my parents who would occasionally visit his nightclub and restaurant in framingham, Massachusetts back in the50's and 60's. I was too young to go but would listen to his records

[@Imani_AM]

Beautiful clip! The man had an excellent voice. First time I've seen him sing live and I'm glad there is video of it 🎶

[@bbcisrubbish]

The use of soap and water.

He was before my time but he had a great voice and never rushed a great melody. He took his time with a very relaxed approach He had a great orchestra. Too bad he died fairly young I appreciate this music

Hope you're still enjoying Vaughn Monroe. I still do after over years as a fan. Regards.

[@errolfan]

After all the tenor male singers during the 30's and 40's (besides the full -range Bing and Sinatra), Vaughn's baritone was unique. I remember hearing his 45's when I was a kid. Great voice. Modest to a fault. And totally underrated.

[@rhymeswithorange6092]

"The voice with hair on it's chest." What an amazing singer.

[@billchandler60]

I love Vaughn's voice, I purchased the cd 'The Very Best of Vaughn Monroe, Original Master Recordings,' a number of years ago. Has 20 songs, I've listened to a number of them here this evening, but the last 2 I've listened to - 'Blue Moon,' and this song 'Beware My Heart,' aren't on the cd? After listening to them wish they were!

Vintage Vaughn Monroe.

[@Melonhead622]

Similar story: I'm 60 and collected 78s to play on the 78-only player my folks gave me in 1960 (I was 8 and the Sixties hadn't started yet). I liked "What Do I Have To Do", "There I've Said It Again", "It's My Lazy Day" and "Just The Other Day" WAY more than his better-remembered "Riders In The Sky" - us baritones should get more recognition!

[@June_Magoo]

Seems like ooooold times 🎶

[@DickWhittington1000]

Enjoyed listening to Monroe since I was around 13 when I bought a box of 78's with "There I Said It Again", and "Tangerine". Still sing these songs in the shower at 55 y/o. Sinatra and Monroe are about the only male singers that I enjoy listening to, except for the later generation of James Taylor, Tom Jones, and James Brown.

[@sandaglad]

How come this sort of music lacks hip moving, body swerving beats? It simply sounds dead, lacking in color.
