Some of you liked Miss Carr and her 'torch' singing, perhaps this will appeal?

Vikki Carr - There I go

Probably the best instrumental version of this superb piece of music......Arty was just head and shoulders above the rest with his liquorice stick.......in my humble opinion.

Artie Shaw : Begin the Beguine

That's a good one.
Every time I chase off to Youtube to listen to a song I end up stuck there (listening).  Lots of good stuff by Al Bowlly, who I hadn't heard of before.  The music sounds familiar but not the name.

Good find.

"Sand in My Shoes" - Connee Boswell & Rochester

I inherited lots of Connee's  recordings, I treasure them all........this is superb, and the film wasn't bad.........

This has long been a favourite of mine, I'm wondering if I'm the only one on the planet that likes it, but perhaps you do too.

Betty Hutton & Perry Como - A Bushel And A Peck (1950)

Doodle-oodle-oodle - doodle-oodle-oodle.....ha ha ha

Good morning, Ferocious!  Perry Como was a dream boat with a beautiful voice--Betty Hutton was not so much.  I did like the movie where she played Annie Oakley, though.  I was about 10 and rode a city bus (about 12 miles) to Charleston, W.V. with my friend, Jane, to see the play starring Betty  and whoever the male lead was.  This was a traveling stage play--so Betty and her co-stars were there in person!

When I was a young girl, my Dad's cousin who never married lived with my Grandmother as did my 2 younger sisters and me.  She was a beautician and only worked a half day on Saturday, so we walked to town about noon and she took us to the book/music store that sold comic books and 8 x11 paper booklets with the lyrics of all the hit parade tunes.  My sisters and I could sing every song on the hit parade which we listened to on the radio.  I still remember the lyrics and tunes of most of them.  All 3 of us sang in church choirs until we grew up and married.

...............................

I like it.  Not one of my favorites, but right there in the middle.  If I had a radio station around here that played that vintage music it would likely be on most of the time.  But must "music" here is "today" music.  So I have an XM Radio setup here in the house with a small FM repeater so I can hear it all over.  Nice, no commercials and minimum chatter.

Thank you Sue and Rammel for your kind comments.


For the life of me, I cannot think what prompted me to go and watch this film 728 times, but if it comes on the TV I'll probably watch it again......ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

Superb film though

Ah, Perry Como. When Elvis Presley hit the music scene, I was in fourth grade. At recess, when we debated over who was better, I sided with Perry Como.

Two of my favorites:

Good grief, MarsGal, I was in college when Elvis was popular.  I never listened to him much, but my youngest sister who was a pre-teen was a big fan.  I was a Perry Como and other crooner fans.  When I was in college, one big band per year came to our campus (U. of South Carolina) for a concert.  Everyone dressed to the 9's and had a wonderful time!  The last band I remember was the Tommy Dorsey band when I was a Senior.

SCSue, the last swing band I went to see was the Les Elgart band. That must have been during one of Les and Larry's splits. The last live Pop orchestra I saw was Henry Mancini, and the last live Rock band I saw was a regional band called Paragon. I don't remember when I last was to a classical concert, but it would have most likely been The Harrisburg Symphony. Well, that's enough memory stretching for me today, I think.

Remember this? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QcDkUf6rz60
or this haunting tune. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w-00gGM3V0Q

Ferocious - My favorite Marilyn Monroe movie, is "Bus Stop", and her off-key rendition of That Old Black Magic, is wonderful!

Hmmmm.........never though of it before, Jackie, perhaps you're right....ha ha ha

Okay, okay, I'll quit already I get carried away with listening to it.

Do you have songs you like so much you listen to in it's many versions?

MarsGirl asked......."Do you have songs you like so much you listen to in it's many versions?"

You posted some gems there MarsGirl, thank you,  and to answer your question, I have literally hundreds of songs sung by various artists that I like, but one song with the most beautiful words that springs to mind is this.......

Margaret Whiting: "My Foolish Heart" (RARE version!)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ypFC8Q5f1C0


Of course, Billy Eckstine, Old Blue Eyes, Sarah Vaughan, just to mention a few also make a superb job of this lovely song.

Sing to me Gogi............

I've been here doing some of my "end of the month" bookkeeping and playing suggested music in the background.  Spent some time on the 50's (important era to me) and then veered off to other stuff.  Now listening to -
