[whs1pmjazz]

Voice doesn't fit the song too well

[siannelevi]

This is my great grandmothers favorite song. my great grandfather used to sing it to her after the movies when he was "walking his baby back home"

Happy Birthday Nana (23/09/1921) I miss you <3

I've never heard of Nick Lucas, but I've heard of this song...oh yes. I might of heard it just once, just once is good enough for a song that I drool over, anyway to make a long story short, it was probably on my mother's kitchen radio that I heard it and I beliee it was done by none other than Johnnie Ray. Now Johnnie's version is unav. at this time, and I was surprized but that is the way with many doowop/early R&R era...unav. Great cover...3 1/2 stars but Johnnie's gets 5 stars! THX

@Ezdduf4kuZ I've never heard of Johnnie Ray. Nick Lucas was one of the first, (if not the first), to record this song in Feb. 1931and it charted a #8 Hit for him in '31.

I just watched him in Show of Shows and had no idea he had such a long film career... that's wonderful! he was one of the best parts of that film. What a talent!

What tasteful guitar playing and singing. I think every young guitar player today should spend a long time learning the Nick Lucas song book. We all did when I was young. What a joy! Thanks for sharing all of this great music

Classic =) cant beat em =)

Nick Lucas was amazing, and I love checking out his videos spanning the '20s through the '80s.  And he looks a bit like Kramer from Seinfeld here!

[lashleyflaypool]

this song makes me happy :)

Nick Lucas was fabulous in the fifties. This was one of my favorite 1951 songs. I bought the record immediately after it came out. I saw Nick Lucas many times throughout his career.

This original is 1000 times better than the remake

[itsdarkinhere]

Depends on what remake you're referring to. The adaptation to Swedish made by Beppe Wolgers and preformed by Monica Zetterlund not only captures the spirit of the original, it also captures the spirit of Stockholm as it used to be.
