When I made this, for a presentation at the retirement home where I work, somehow I obtained this piece of misinformation and did not know any better. Some people have commented that it was Pauline Byrne.
Yeah for real. Gloomy Sunday is one of my favorite songs. I wish I lived in the 40's. In stead I am a teen age-er growing up in this shit time. Not fair.
Wow, what a great song... I've been looking into finding more music with Pauline Byrne's voice. It all started when I heard the song Gloomy Sunday in the movie Wristcutters.
Does anyone have a complete or at least semi-list of more songs with Pauline Byrne?
I will listen to Gloomy Sunday. I am new to Artie Shaw. I made this clip because I was doing a classical music program at the retirement home where I work and this was an example of a song taken from classical music. In this case the source was the Gliding Dance of the Maidens from the Polovetsian Dances in Borodin's Prince Igor.
Haha I was wondering why I was hearing Borodin, but big band sounding! :) Another great example of different styles of music being "borrowed" is Shostokovich's Tahitian Trot, aka Tea for Two
@sherhino You should also (go to the trouble) of checking out Marinella (1941) also by Shaw, and the lovely jazz of both Shaw's arrangement of "Tabu" and "Lady Day". If you find any or better yet, all 3 of those, you won't regret the use of your time to track them down.
@sherhino P.P.S - also recommend the big band translation of classical opera piece from Samson And Delilah of "My Heart At Thy Sweet Voice" by Larry Clinton (big band) Orchestra, featuring "girl" singer Bea Wain singing in front of them. Best place to find this would be from collection "This Is Larry Clinton", frankly; once on vinyl out of America on RCA, but re-issued on CD in England recently.
Kitty Kallen once sang for awhile with Shaw, but she was known for "My Heart Belongs To Daddy" with his band. This, as rminnewawa correctly states, is not Kallen, I will confirm or 2nd that fact. A number of female singers sang with Shaw, including Peg LaCentra and even Bea Wain for a session or so, but the longest lasting tenure was that of Helen Forrest.
Pauline Byrne is singing here; and the tune is indeed "Stranger In Paradise" with other lyrics, though.

Pauline Byrne is correct. My mistake. And I should know this... I have the original 78!

Why all the pictures of Kitty Kallen? That's Bonnie Lake doing the vocal.

Yes it's Borodin. Same piece became "Stranger In Paradise" from the musical Kismet.

There is another tune posted by Shaw
and Pauline Byrne. It is the better
known Gloomy Sunday. This was from
the same session as My Fantasy.

Okay, thanks. I am checking on this. Where did I get Kitty Kallen from? I appreciate the correction.

This is a 1940 recording with
Pauline Byrne as the vocalist.
Kitty Kallen did My Heart Belongs to
Daddy with Shaw in 1946.
