Harriet Hilliard - But Where Are You?

[jennyschofield]

Wonderful. So moving.

[Jamesmac30]

This is great - I alwys felt that this is a neglected song which the great singers failed to pick up - such a lovely song

[castalia60able]

Wonderful performance by Harret Hilliard Nelson. So much emotion in her voice and her performance. I loved the way they sang back then.

[smellincoffee]

There's a marked difference between the performers of this era and later generations. Harriet is truly performing this song, pouring herself into it -- not just making sounds.

God this takes me back (and i feel all the better for it I tell you!!,................... Nurse the Screens.........!!) These are the sort of fine films I used to watch on a Sunday afternoon with my family in the 70's.........(it wasn't all Glam Rock y'know , but then the 70's did have everything) Thanks for posting this clip, its a cracker...x x

A wonderful singer and she enjoyed a nice film career before working only with her husband.

[yusmilkaniria]

I do not have words to say how much this song makes me feel. Its amazing the voice of Harriet Hilliard. Love the movie! I love all those movies from the 20's, 30's and 40's. I always sing this song to any children i spend time with and they like it!

[bill3murr]

a marvelous song and a very wonderful interpretation....so poignant! love it. thanks.

[RALPHIEREDRYDER]

THIS IS AS CLASSIC AS A DUSENBERG!

[smellincoffee]

@RALPHIEREDRYDER Now that is a reference few would get!

[GRAYGRAY53]

How Harriet managed to sing this song all the way through without really bursting into tears is a sign of a GREAT actress. She conveys so much pathos and sorrow,

especially at the end; this surely must rank as one of the greatest performances of this genre of sentimental singing! Tell your friend to view it. Well done Harriet!!

[MsCasati]

sooooo touching and dreamy <3

[MorganPolander]

It may not be the blues, but her songs in this movie are the saddest singing I have ever heard, and I don't mean that in a mean way. She seems to be on the verge of tears. I would not recommend this song for someone on acid.

[waynebrasler]

"Get Thee Behind Me Satin" is one of the great film musical performances of all time. Harriet made a lot of films.

[mylescranford]

Moving...touching...memorable!­

[Vitamine101]

Sweet and vulnerable. Lovely!

[Annp2009]

She's cute in this film !

[yudikjon]

She did NOT suck at all; good voice; great looks; Ricky looks just like her. No movements, though. That makes the song lifeless; too bad. Thanks for posting. Never realized she could sing.

[omarskats3000]

@yudikjon no movements just like ricky. they're a lot alike, both beautiful faces and vioces.

[6326709]

I don't think she sucked. I saw this movie years ago and I thought she did just fine. Incidently I liked her dress, perhaps with a little less glitter at the neckline. Nevertheless, quite beautiful.

[sfatlarge]

She was gorgeous! She sings "Get The Behind me Satin" 'and it is wonderful. The talent is there, remember she's the mother of Ricky Nelson.....

[OhGodisGood]

man she really SUCKED in this movie!! i really didn't notice her prescence in the film!! i wish irene dunne had done the film!

[Gaygarious]

Rude, stupid and poor spelled.

[OhGodisGood]

@Gaygarious it's my opinion

[Keystonestateantique]

This is a great Irving Berlin song--the words and melody are brilliant! I had never heard it until I watched the movie. I have an original copy of this song on an Ampico player piano roll and it is an outstaniding arrangement on the Ampico piano.

I would Love to Hear Harriet sing "Roses in December"
