Glenn Miller-"Fools Rush In (Where Angels Fear To Tread)"

[missseraphimarose]

In loving memory of my dearest, sweetest, and angel of grandmother. RIP <3 I miss you very much! *SOBS* she used to sing songs like this and we used to dance to Glenn Miller. My life won't be the same without her here. Hopefully she is watching over me in heaven. <3 <3 <3

[JohnnyNny94]

This is my favorite Glenn Miller song. It's so beautiful...

[pasakari]

upea. GREAT

and Ray Eberle



[bangjiwoo]

so this is truly the original recording? like the one record by Glenn miller?

[orvgg]

I THINK THAT THIS IS ON E OF THE BESTEST SONGS THAT THERE COULD BE IN THE WHOLE WIDE WORLD THAT WE LIVE IN AND I THINK THAT MORE PEOPLE SHOULD BE LISTENING TO THIS INSTEAD THAN TO RAP AND HIP HOP THAT ALL THE YOUNG PEOPLE LISTEN TO AT LEAST HERE IN NORWAY AND AS SUCH AND THEN AS THEREFORE THE WORLD WOULD BE A MORE ROMANTIC AND PEACEFUL WORLDS

[LiliumNightShade]

Miller hired Ray Eberly after hearing that Bob Eberly, with Jimmy Dorsey, had a brother and figuered if Bob could sing like he did, his brother must be pretty good too.

[spel0023]

I've been a Glenn Miller admirer for about 55 years now, and I am sure as well the singer of "Fools Rush In" is Ray Eberle

i became so giddy with lust when this version of fools rush in came on on valentines day.

[NaughtyBastardIsh]

Ray Eberle... eye candy with a golden voice...

[theJaydog]

My Mother was 13 when this was new. I hear this and feel a little closer to her.

I miss her.

[wkunzelman1]

Ahhh... the music of the WWII era.

[stumpyorange]

@wkunzelman1 Any other suggestions for artists/music from the WWII era? Ive been looking around for similar music, yet to no avail

[wkunzelman1]

@stumpyorange Moonlight Serenade is a better-known song from the era.

also do youtube(dot.CO)m/watch?v=Uk0tt­lRp5QA

[holydiver73]

It's certainly Ray Eberle singing. However, I do prefer the Dorsey/Sinatra version.

[missohio83]

I never knew this was such an old song until I looked up info on it because I only knew it as Ricky Nelson singing it, which is one of my favorite songs by him! This is cool to hear! My grandpa loved Glenn Miller too! This is a nice version! =)

[73380401]

Oh I just love this.Who is the singer?

[HOGEFAN]

I didn't think I was going to love this version as much as I love the Elvis version, being the Elvis fanatic that I am, but what a much more romantic song with Glenn Miller's music to Eberle's vocals. Absolutely beautiful.

[csm559]

I heard this song browsing through an antique shop and its always in the back of my mind. I love this song, the background has such a unique sound you dont hear now adays

[raymondwunna]

The one and only Glenn Miller.

[MarcYozay]

The lyrics were written by Johnny Mercer with music by Rube Bloom in the 40's I believe.

Two major adaptations were recorded, one by Glenn Miller with Ray Eberle and another by Tommy Dorsey with Frank Sinatra.

[grazer770]

this song is addictivating! thats ivor bigin on vocals. or it could be ivan evenbigerin am not sure.

[OldFashionedGirl81]

Everything is right in the world when this song plays. Love it! :)

[ClassicsHouse]

I could listen to this stuff all day long. Nuts.

[duroche53]

Ray Eberle is correct! He was the co-talented brother of Bob who sang with Jimmy Dorsey.

[hefalu]

Si hace dos años entusiasmado volví a oír la canción después de 33 años. hoy se la he reenviado a quien me la descubrió.

[nipsterstang]

Just Wonderful!! Thanks!!

[misterb0071]

that's William Hung lead vocals

[nancyfloressantos]

A treasure

[Janrutagit]

This is music.

[bongojava21]

Such a wonderful song, especially with Ray Eberle's lovely vocals.

[catnipsuicide]

I have listened to this song at least once a week for the last year to make sure I won't change my mind. I still think it will be perfect for our first dance. <3

[sladedude44]

the vocal is by ray eberle, sing it again ray.

[IRellevant]

this song is addicting

[nancyfloressantos]

"......fools rush in where angels fear to thread.......I love singing this song....to myself ( :

[CeeCeeable]

I could imagine a big band playing whenever I listen to music played this way..Thanks for posting bingcrosby1903. Likewise Nancy for sharing.

[nancyfloressantos]

Lovely music..........."just open up your heart and let this fool rush in........"

[Victorian9322]

Gorgeous song!

[sammipink]

[Autumwithoutu]

This is my kind of music my dear!!!!!!!!!

[chefboop]

no one does a better vocal version than Mr.Brook Benton

[cygnus011]

Bream

[boyblue1171]

I was born in the late 60s and I loved this song as sung by Ricky Nelson. I just found out that this song dates back to the 40s. Beautiful version by Glenn Miller. Too bad they don't make music with so much heart and emotion like this anymore.

[consolidatedbits]

i love that photo of glenn miller

[Dadsgirl240]

OLD OLD OLDD lol

[vevejay]

I love Glen Miller and this is a great version, but my favourite is Frank Sinatra and the Tommy Dorsey orchestra as on The Frank Sinatra Dejavu Retro Gold Collection.

[albamaria54]

I loved, this is my music, I want a dance

[whispperson]

This is Brilliant

[passover77]

Anyone know who's singing?

[bingcrosby1903]

I'm pretty sure its Ray Eberle, its been awhile though, correct me if im wrong.

[badisev]

Yes, it's Ray definetly.

[5000433]

@bingcrosby1903 I think its Tex Beneke but I may be wrong

[5000433]

@bingcrosby1903 my mum says its Ray Eberle lol

[pilotperson]

Ray Eberle

[5000433]

@passover77 Its Tex Benecke I think

[passover77]

@5000433 Thanks for answering but I don't think it's Tex. He didn't have the high range or the mellow tone that this singer had.

I'm going to listen to some Ray Eberle vocals and see if I agree with 1903.

[AJNorth]

@passover77 Sure; the vocalist is Ray Eberle (1919-1979), who sang with The Glenn Miller Orchestra from 1939-42. It was Ray's brother Bob who had first been hired to sing with the Dorseys; when brothers Tommy and Jimmy went their separate musical ways forming their own bands, a sideman named Glenn Miller left to form a band of his own, and offered Ray Eberle a job.

[hefalu]

Siempre gratificante, la vida va pasando y 33 años son muchos años pero yo sigo siendo el mismo loco, despues de más de 3 decadas.Feliz o triste, da igual,sustine sustine, es el mismo de aquel 1975.

[kia1944]

one of the best glenn miller performed

[annanoli]

Music lovers! check with care the turnaround to change the key introducing the vocals.

One of the best sax modulations i've ever heard

[DeutschlandElvis]

Wow, Fools rush in !!! I heard it for the first time in 1973 or 1974 with Ricky Nelson and I was so amazed by the rithm and the sound of the electric guitar and fall in love of Rock music ! before that my world was just junior high school and soccer. I heard it on Vuelve el Rock con Elvis Presley en Radio 590 " La Pantera" in Mexiko Stadt !!!

[albamaria54]

My favorite Band forever, Thanks

[hefalu]

me recuerda a la primavera de 1975, joder que emoción!!!

[hefalu]

la hostia 33 años esperando volver a oírla!!!!

[whispperson]

Pure Gold

[tarzanofcouches]

Great song, the words definitely give some good advice.

[DarkTigers2012]

Beautiful just beautiful. Love glenn miller

if he were still alive today id love to meet him.

[resopicker]

Wow, I grew up listening tho Glen's music. One of the great tragedies of WW2 was losing Glen Miller. I have "The Glen Miller Story" around here on vhs, and this reminds me to get it out and watch it. June Alyson and Jimmy Stewart if memory serves me right. Thanks for the memory!

[bingcrosby1903]

certainly right

[5000433]

@resopicker My mum now 86 thank G d saw Miller twice in the summer of 44, once at an airbase of the 8th AAC and later at the Riabow corner. she has vivid memories of both, a joy to hear

[sr71ablackbird]

@resopicker music isn't the same anymore, that's for sure. Even though i was born in the late 60s, & have always held glenn as the `standard' of the big band era, i do know that there are others, such as tommy & jimmy dorsey, the andrews sisters, the ink spots, guy lombardo, bing crosby & others. I had noticed an interview with jim morrison from the doors back in the 70s, that music would head towards the way of heavily electronic & using tapes, (but actually records for scratching rap junk) .

[ppeak2007]

A beautiful rendition of this lovely ballad.

[bmcneese45]

One of my favorite songs and by such a great artist. Thank you.
