Belle Baker - My Sin, 1929

[63filmbuff]

"The Song Of Love" was the final film I saw at the last Hollywood Cinecon I attended in the mid to late 1990s.A great film with some wonderful music. A great final film to see. A real winner

She had so much feeling in her voice! Is it just me or does she sound like an earlier version of Judy Garland? Thank you for posting this

[ddomian]

would SO love to hear her 'All of Me". please??

[waynebrasler]

Belle Baker was very famous, very celebrated. A great influence on many other entertainers. Way ahead of her time.

I am indeed lucky to have a ment Brunswick 78 copie of this! GOD she was BEAUTIFUL!!! This is the best version of this song ever!

A great song by a great vocalist. Today's singer coildn't even come close to singer's of yesterday. To sing with just one or two people from a band and sound so good there is no way that it could be duplicated. And it's not the singers of today's fault. There is too much electroniocs,in the background,for them to realize that their voice would be off key if sang the same way as did the singer's of yesterday.

In Belle's voice and technique in this song I seem to hear Judy Garland.

My favorite is her recording of "If I Had A Talking Picture Of You" - Another forgotten performer in the eternal stellar collection of great performers !

She is new to me. What a pleasant find. This is fantastic!. To my mind this is the best rendition of this song.

Please accept my gratitude for posting this gem.

[debunks]

Very lovely song and a beautiful voice. A bit like Connie Boswell.

[busternuckles]

I love these singers of Jewish heritage who sang what are called torch songs. Others were Libby Holman & Fanny Brice.

[onejazzed]

This gal could really belt out a song with such perfection.

[paulostroff99]

A great new discovery for me. Haunting! What a talent! Brava! TY
