"Red Sails in the Sunset" Joni James

[RITMOSYESTILOS]

Unforgettable voice and style of Joni James......Music to Remember Her....

[Wordsmith37]

My sister had the Tab Hunter version; but she was a girl!! This is beautiful and has a good stereo effect - not so common on discs of that time. And you can hear every word. Thanks - as Kittielips would say ***** !

You are right catman916. This is a wonderful version of this song.

[catman916]

@MrListener43 We are so fortunate to have had Joni James, Nat King Cole, and The Platters record this terrific song.

I love her voice. It has an vulneralbe quality--and yet is powerful at the same time too...nice combination. she's a classic.

[Rusty350]

So beautiful....and what a killer voice. Love you Joni!!!!!!!!

Red sails in the sunset 'Way out on the sea Oh! carry my loved one Home safely to me. He sailed at the dawning All day I've been blue Red sails in the sunset I'm trusting in you Swift wings you must borrow Make straight for the shore We marry tomorrow And he goes sailing no more. Red sails in the sunset 'Way out on the sea Oh! carry my loved one Home safely to me.

[RITMOSYESTILOS]

Red sails, the night wind is blowing

And clouds are hiding the moon

Above no bright stars are glowing

It means the storm's coming soon.

Numbnuts has the right name! What a jerk! What kind of a boy does he like?

[JubalCalif]

@Mashburnd

Ha! Well said & well put! His rude & crude comment was completely uncalled for. Wish he'd take his juvenile sense & immaturity somewhere else! Beats me how anyone can be so ill-mannered after listening to the sweet sounds of Ms James!

[numbnuts234567]

We marry tomorrow...and he goes sailing no more. If he is smart he will keep right on sailing and leave this b.tch on shore!
