Jane Morgan - With Open Arms - 1959

[brunon44]

@Ez... There is sophistication and subtlety to Jane's performance also a charming and radiant presence...Connie could be strident and many would decribe her as overwrought at times. Mrs. Jerry Weintraub was one Class Act...one of the best dressed entertainers. I used to try to cheer on those Kapp releases of hers which struggled on the charts. I was but a War Baby in Australia...a rascal of a father from Chicago, Ill.

Bacharach and David's take on the then-recent calypso craze. Quite entertaining.

Pity that the quality is not as good as "day the rains came down" otherwise brilliant

A great recording. Thanks.

[MrGreglaw]

She has the most soothing voice!

[Ezdduf4kuZ]

@MrGreglaw I believe Sue Thompson has that soothing voice but then you "Paper Tiger's are all alike!". I remember this song....she reminds me of Gale Storm & her "Dark Moon".  Then their was Joan Weber and her "Let Me Go Young Lover"....none of them stacked up to what Connie Francis scored on the Top 40, did they? Connie Francis & her Italian background had by far the most soothing voice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!Amen to that & CHOW @MrGreglaw.

[MrGreglaw]

@Ezdduf4kuZ Yes Connie Francis has the best soothing voice out of them all! And all the other legends have great voices!

[Strawberry7Lynn]

Very nice. Credit also to songwriting duo Burt Bacharach & Hal David, who wrote lots of songs together. The former of which seems to take all the credit and the latter seems largely forgotten

[motowngirl65]

Burt Bacharach must have been writing songs when in diapers!

[motowngirl65]

A song before it's time. Too good for the 50's.

La bellísima Florence Catherine Currier más conocida como JANE MORGAN es una chica con una voz melódicamente dulce, aristocráticamente encantadora, y como buena Massatssutseña nació en la ciudad de Newton. En Colombia la admiramos !!!

Jane was a Christmas baby. Funny she

never made a Christmas album.

Wonderful voice. Tx 4 the post.

wonderful song and great voice and talent..RWB

[whathoney73]

Burt Bacharach wrote this song? I can hear his style in it now that I know it. He must have been a teenager and this must have been one of his earliest compositions.

[wilsondylanmccartney]

He was actually 30 when he wrote it :)

[wilsondylanmccartney]

TERRIBLE sound on this copy.

[rwb010109]

Always enjoyable to hear this song, RWB

[pinetar]

Yes, the singing is warm and lovely, and the song's harmonies are definitely way more sophisticated than the average pop song of that era, not to mention today's uneducated songs...

[pljms]

It's no coincidence that the harmonies are sophisticated as it was composed by Burt Bacharach.

[franklindavid]

Lovey voice, so much like Doris Day.

[IDLERACER]

I like this. It has some unusual chord changes for 1959.

[pappabob]

she was classy and has a beautiful voice

[AmazingSuperKid]

I remember Jane Morgan as being one of my dearest late Mum's favourite singers. Jane's voice is absolutely beautiful, and you can hear every word. Fabulous! Thank-you wilown01 for sharing on utube.

I loved this song in 6th grade and you wouldn't think that a 6th grader would like this, but I definitely did.

[drudge48]

I was 10 in 1959. I love this song. Its lyrics are so simple and loving. When I watch the movie The perfect storm. I always think of this song.

[rwb010109]

What a great song and voice, RWB

[davpier59]

Tmanchip...you are right. You never say Jane's pic in the tabloids. She is class and has always been as well as talented.

[Tmanchip]

And, she was the ultimate BABE! Pure Class!
