Rudy Vallee and his Connecticut Yankees - Deep Night (1929)

[BigIronOnHipMan2]

Provocative is all I can say. Incredibly provocative... Garbo & Valentino romantic

[BetsyBooth22]

He sounds like a timid little boy and looks like a beagle....I don't see what's so appealing.

[ParisChien]

Ik voel mezelf in dit nummer.

(Forget fucking Idaho!)

[Micelli1947]

GOOD MUSIC, thanks for putting on!

[John94pl]

it reminds me Bonnie & Clyde film :))

[louisa1832]

Oh, to have been alive then, and to be surrounded by that music!

[lilypondlane]

Wow!!! Unreal!! Rudy is fabulous in this!! Many thanks!!

[polaroidsky]

I can't find this song to buy, it sucks!

[andygerard09]

Finding Forrester - the after game party scene

[julianglantz]

Wonderful. I love dance band music from this era, whether U.S or U.K.

Rudy Valee, Al Bowlly, Bing Crosby - all great vocalists.

[LuxClassical]

I arrive to this beautiful song thanks to the "E.T." Katy Perry's video. To live to believe!

[MrDanboy2]

Hauntingly Beautiful !

[puffley1912]

I Love this!!!!

[Micelli1947]

They really knew how to play such soothing band music. Too bad they don't have any night clubs like that, today,

[Pbirv]

@Micelli1947 Then again, today's night clubs are legal. Vallee and his colleagues had to deal with that little inconvenience known as the 18th Amendment.

This pace, mood and phrasing of this original Rudy Vallee version is perfect - it does send you away. I first heard this song on a Duo-Art reproducing piano roll from 1929 - the pacing and phrasing is similar to Vallee's arrangement.

[TheDaxbaby]

I love this song, the music just seems to sent you far away.

[laeditor]

Love that this is here. That's my grandfather in the picture, playing standup bass. Harry Patent. Love to hear him play!!!

[1276epr]

@laeditor that's interesting! I see the band also has a tuba in it. I thought that around the late '20s that dance orchestras started replacing tubas with bass fiddles, to produce a softer tone....am I incorrect on that?

[laeditor]

@1276epr Funny that you mention that, because my grandfather also played the tuba (I've got a great picture of him with a tuba). As far as your question goes, I really don't know the answer (sorry!). That would be a good question for a music historian.

[1276epr]

@laeditor a friend of my Dad's (long since deceased) that had a local band of some repute told me that. He also said bands shifted another part of the rhythm section, banjo to guitar, for the same reason, i.e. to give the music a less harsh staccato tone. BTW he had lots of fascinating stories about bands that were famous recording stars of the mid to late '20s that travelled in this general area.

[1276epr]

he sure recorded some unforgettable, wonderful songs, didn't he...this has to be one of his best, along with "Stein Song" and 'Betty Co-Ed"

[billyguns2]

Ah! I much prefer this slower, more mysterious version to Vallee's 1937 recording.

[bearcub410]

@billyguns2 I AGREE WITH YOU . THIS SONG HAS ALWAYS MADE SHIVERS GO UP MY SPINE , GOOSE PIMPLES .THANK YOU .DEEP IN THE ARMS OF LOVE . AAAA+++++

[sweetlorraine0]

Very sweet, tender song, dark and mysterious a little :) I love the music, lyrics and the vocal, and how it all goes together.

[dega723]

For me the opening of Bonny & Clyde should be elected on the five greatest film openings since the invention of the cinema, with the one of "Green Soylent", "Cross of Iron", "Come and See" (Elem Klimov), "Scarface" and "The tin drum".

[Silverwire100]

It's a very haunting song. Therefore, it lends itself well to movies.

[AlyssaQ420]

I always think of My Own Private Idaho or the opening credits of Bonnie and Clyde when I hear this song.

[aalphan]

wonderfull song and singer

[aalphan]

wonderfull song and singer

[054rakel]

[jumpyourbone]

this song lights up my imagination :)

[codeseagle]

It seems Gus Vant Sant loves this song, he used it in Private Idaho and in Finding Forrester

[daveyiphoto]

Can someone send me this song ?

[TGsPost]

I got this song on itunes for 99 cents .. so can you

[TheRideArounds]

@TGsPost ur a douche

[MoreRitzCrackers]

My Own Private Idaho is the reason I found out about this song. I love that movie.

[vader500]

also in the opening credits of Bonnie and Clyde

[SMZMM]

@vader500

ive always wanted to know what the song was at the begining of Bonnie and Clyde. then i watched My Own Private Idaho and was like 'hey! is that song!' i found what it was from that movie and downloaded it right away! <3

[kearyct]

@MoreRitzCrackers you too??? are you too a dutchboy 44?

[FriedEggsandChips]

@MoreRitzCrackers I liked the movie. I LOVED this song and literally played it over and over for two hours. It becomes wonderful from 1:55 ... the words are pure poetry.

[tomkat69pc]

@MoreRitzCrackers

same here ..

[PaulSathers]

@MoreRitzCrackers I discovered it in the same place.

[TanteMarco]

Wonderful song, wonderful performance!

...and in a very good quality!

I would give 10stars!

[saxondog2001]

One of Rudy Vallee's best from that era.

This is a haunting melody.

[Masquerade03]

It is the best way to sing such a beautiful song!

[Liederpoet]

Ja, wo gibts denn sowas? +++++++++++++++

[stewartgas]

That was extra good. I can remember Rudy Vallee playing a cameo role in the 1942 film "The Palm Beach Storey" worth watching and listening to.......just to notice the change in his voice thirteen years later.

[VandalStork]

Oh, what a wonderful find! Thank you so much for uploading this song!
