I heard this first in 1950's by Frank Sinatra. My mother, b. 1905, said she remembered Huston from the stage. She said he was presented a play where the lead was to sing a song & Huston said that he was not a singer. The director said, 'Just try to talk your way through the song'. He did, and we have forgotten the 1938 play but never the song. My favorite is Willie Nelson on his 70th birthday celebration.Willie has such fab phrasing that no one can match it.
I just love this version of September Song. It reminds me of my Grandfather who died in the early 1950's & I still cry everytime I hear it. It was one of his favourites & I remember the old 78 Brunswick version we had of it. Maybe Walter didn't have the best voice but this version is the very best for me.
takes me back to the 19 50,s when I first heard this song.....Walter wasn,t much of a singer but could certainly put this over....I have Matt Munro singing this but it,s Walter,s song. THANK YOU FOR POSTING IT.
Thank you for posting the most sublime recording of this timeless song. In the words of Hippocrates - "The life so short ... the art so long to learn."

@RomanceAndReflection It would be great if you would post it. Bayridgette is correct. This disc was among my favorites as a child.

@boozer7574 Jeff Lynne? From ELO sang this? I'd like to hear that. I can't even imagine Willie singing it.
