The Best Love Songs of the 40s

[MrTaylorowns]

@brieman2 watch the Fallout 3 trailer :) and while your at it buy the game. Because that song is epic!

[kissel10zxc]

I'm only 12... i love these songs. now it's all about dirty stuff. what happen to the world? These songs are just amazing and very soothing and definately romantic.

[RammosII]

I was born in 1933 and these wonderful songs brought back many memories of my formative years. Please make a version with the songs being played much longer. Thank you very much.

[solidwow12345]

These are the songs I heard from the Radios that were playing in Chicago and across the country. I was not even a teen ager yet. I Don't Want to Set the World On fire was very bpopular along with Paper Doll. My name is Bill.

[brieman2]

I dont want to set the world on fire sounds so creepy sounds like something from a game or movie like bioshock

[Megatravian]

Nowadays the pop songs that are "hot" are all about sex, foul language, death, torture, and meaningless things. Sigh. I wish I lived in the past, where the world isn't corrupted so badly, where love is simple, yet fascinating. Where the music which are hot aren't boring, meaningless pop songs. I will never forget how fallout 3 brought me to the 40s, and I'll never forget I Don't Want to Set the World on Fire.

[TatianeInui]

@Megatravian Nowadays music are a lot about money too.

[gomezrox1799]

i love how their voices sound, they're all just so unique

[musicalred]

[academia07]

The Music before had a diferent taste When it comes About romantic stile.. More intense

[theraver2020]

[SuperEddymigit]

@theraver2020 Your so F***ing right! to bad i never live in the 40s! Im 80s!

[jillianrox098]

@theraver2020 same goes for the guys.

[MsSummerButterflies]

these songs are so romantic, unlike today's stupid songs <3

[CJ12075]

@MsSummerButterflies Teah i agree now songs are all about doing drugs and having sex

[19Travis98]

@MsSummerButterflies yeah most songs today are about sex

[MsSummerButterflies]

@19Travis98 exactly :)

[miler999]

Thanks. I remember many if not all of these songs.

[TheRAFfc]

Oh I Forgot The last waltz at the dance " Who's Taking You Home Tonight"

[TheRAFfc]

Very well done!! I can remember being on leave during the War, Dancing at the Streatham Locarno too all that music and a revolving stage with 2 big bands playing the guns blazing away at Gerry planes flying over London. So many memories Thanks again.

[DemiseLies]

I wish to dance on this songs with the guy I will love :)

I think this songs is the way more romantic than nowaday songs !!

[quincywho]

nobody has class anymore. the only way to get it back is if everyone raised their standards!! <3 i will

[rusim41]

I was born in 1941 - I was there when most of these songs were popular, I feel that I was one lucky guy!

[DemiseLies]

@rusim41 you are so lucky < i was born in 1992 and i wish i was from 40s or 50s :((

[Sergantonyuk8]

Good Times

[paletta4788]

And women were women.

[TheArmenianBBoy]

@paletta4788 haha yeah really

[lakersfanplus]

Very nice compilation but one correction. @5.06 , the great end of the war song, It's Been A Long, Long Time" was indeed Harry James Orch but the girl singer was Kitty Kallen, not Helen Forrest.

[Hertzee]

Finally! I've been looking for music like this for so long :)

[atariman72]

Thumbs up if you searched "40's music" because of Fallout.

[Juiciestbaby801]

I love this music. I wish I could be a young adult back then instead of now ut wiuld have been awesome. I loved the songs thanks for postimg.

[04Dezembro78]

[krnxanga]

Musics dont turn old..they just turn classic..

[curlywigg]

man why do i love this music so much..?

[donegalfiddler]

all theese songs take me back to a most wonderfull time of music. they are as soothing, to my heart and soul today as they have been in the 1940,s Why O Why cant recording artists of today compose, play, sing like this? In my humble opinon those songs,and musical arrangements were sheer magic. thank you so much. Tony.

[iburyyoass]

I'd give anything to be born back then.

[TheBabycess]

@iburyyoass so do i! xx

[CaliHawaiianBadAsses]

[CchuCcky]

Thanks for the video !!!

[hippydeb1]

I wish I could make you feel what it was like back then, my grandpa listened to all the songs from the 30, 40, 50's loved and sang all music. My dad loved and sang country, my mom loved the 50's so my life was music. It was like..it was way, way slower, every song was a special experience, people stopped and listened, they were totally in the moment, the smells of cooking, hopeful, greeted each other, smiled even if times were bad. Gosh I wish you could feel it. There was much laughter:)

[mikelormozart]

being a musician i appreciate your giving me the idea of how these songs should sound. half of them i never heard before.

[arsemonkey7]

OMG what a brilliant idea! Thanks a lot for this vid!!! :)

[slakinslaver09]

im 13, african-american, and to me, this is the greatest music ever made. i dont even listen to mainstream rap...AT ALL!!! i hate lil wayne, drake, nicki minaj, and all of the mainstream music now and days...FRANK SiNATRA, DEAN MARTiN, PERRy COMO, JiMMy STEWART, AND AlfRED HiTCHCOCk are my idols and im proud to say that.

[ninjutsuwolf]

[MYHEARTMUTMINI10]

wow beautiful music!! i love the music of 30's 40's 50's 60's

[MikoSacrifice]

When the same feeling comes back I would always listened to these songs!

[MsMarilynM22]

This music makes me happy:)

[Gchord86]

The audio quality should have been very low so i could pretend its coming out of a recordplayer

[thepetedaniel]

you do good work!

[DrGolf4]

I cannot find, or have not heard song " Your so understanding" 1948 or so. The songs of the 40s were so grear thanks

[kostea87]

a lot of love and passion that time today is almost nothing

[SHEMEANzEVRyTHANG2ME]

Lol, when i was a little kid, my aunt would always baby sit me n my brother nd she would always put on cartoons like Tom and Jerry, some Christmas shows from the 40s , and '40s music would always come up, thats how i grew up liking these kind of songs, not todays junk.

[prixxxx011]

@SHEMEANzEVRyTHANG2ME

I know what do u mean bro, I always have this amazing feeling when I listen to this songs.

[judyjahn]

[mscinematic40]

Listening to this is like traveling in a time machine. If only...

[countessyasmin]

I love this music!!! I also wish I had lived in the 40's. I grew up with this music because my dad played music everyday. I miss him an awful lot!!

The music today is nothing but trash!

[Cellogracen1]

123

[KLT2013]

[tomh2312]

[TheBabycess]

[jordan4ever100]

[Emblemz]

[123245kyle]

[xgalore77zerha268]

for everyone who says they want to live in this period, you are all morons

[gazouvegeta62600]

j'aurais aimé connaitre cette époque

je suis né trop tard :(

[108antigua]

[minnie2nocky]

[Wafflec0r3]

The uploader diserves much more viewers. This is one of the best music lists i've seen so far.

[bluegibby7]

We will never hear their likes again .........

[mrsjennyjonas39]

i love this video<3

[Nevichka1]

Is there a geezer dating club somewhere in which I can find a charming old man who loves these tunes and would love an old lady to dance with?? I would just be on cloud nine to be dancing in the dark with my honey to some of the romantic songs here.

[Cellogracen1]

i love 40s music

[themaltaboy]

84jessaud i always feel like that :) if there is ever a time machine i promise i will use it to go back to the 40"s and really live first though i would try to find anne frank and shake her and her family's hands and just live my life beautifully so please god give us a time machine or just send us totally back in time to the 1040's for eternity so we can really enjoy life

[tomlinsonjenny91]

AMAZING



[mully18]

Ahhhhh...what a walk down memory lane. I was born in 1951, but I can close my eyes and still see my Mom and Dad in each others arms, dancing in our living room, playing these songs which were the songs they fell in love to. Thanks for taking me back :)

[exkiller21]

We all were born bak then we just don't remember

[PhyOSPhyOS]

@exkiller21 Sure.

[MsHbic09]

Only if we had a chance to be born back in them days . . .

[s07000307]

i totally agree - wish i was part of the 40's/50's x

[DarkSkysify]

yes i wasnt born then but i wish i was , these songs are just wonderfull,  what genre are these music in, i mean ther called ?

[lookingback62]

I can not think of a time I would rather have been born without greatly expanding the fantasy. Born in 1943 my Mother and Dad introduced me to so many of the great sounds of the 30's and 40's. With a constant flow of country available I then grew up with Rockabilly, THE ORIGIONAL Rock and Roll, Doo Wop, Popular Folk Music, Motown and then the 70's. The 70's with Disco etc, took me almost 2 more decades to appreciate. Since the 70's it has been slim pickins for me.

[noparatesq]

Listening to these beautiful songs brings tears to my eyes. Thank you so very much for having put them up for all of us to enjoy. (1935-only God knows when......)

[Aic1944]

I love being in 2011. I get to listen to the oldest recorded music, to the oldest written music from the 13th-21'st centuries. I feel i've already been apart of the past centuries, and am thankful to see the beautiful things we have today, although many problems and negative feelings exist more today. To see the space shuttle launch into space, and to see our technology is beautiful. Im 19 and am proud to live in this most current moment in time.

[thangcohon]

@Aic1944 very well said, my friend. Your statement is quite meaningful.



[Aic1944]

@thangcohon Thanks for the kind words, means alot.

[dabomboflife]

songs nowadays are so angry or sad or something that is really overly strong these songs are rlaxing and just right

[vahahon]

Interesting decade not very spectacular

[rope1940]

i was bornin 1940 in 43 i heard music i love to day the times were good war took my daddy a way.but i was happy child even with ration and bad news.Music helped make it.GOD help make a better world an our troops bless them all

[wow4411]

SOME MUSIC LOVERS ARE ENGAGE WITH THEIR ASTUTE DEDICATION & VAST KNOWLEDGE TO SAVE THE MUSICAL HERITAGE. WE SHOULD NOT FEAR THE TIME’S RAVAGE IN THIS NOISY AGE.

NOTHING CAN DAMAGE THE TRUE MUSIC OR ITS IMAGE.

[dalestyke]

What talent there was in the 40s. I'm sorry but it doesn't exist today, but we can still listen to this wonderful music. Dream on.

[GOTHGAM08]

I'm 16 right now and I miss the old time classic love songs like these. Love songs nowadays aren't soulful but words thrown together so they can produce another album. Man, if only they could do a month of the year, doesn't matter which. When they change all the radio stations to old classics and only air the news and those shows before 2000. i wonder how America would react to that.

[jbwell24]

New york,New york?

[carolbull57]

i wasnt born till the late 50s but i no most of these

[ishtin01]

listening to this makes me wonder how it all ends up to the likes of lady gaga... y o y?

[MsPurplepoint]

THANKS! downloaded songs using this video! great listening treat for my parents!

[krypto5863]

only forever

[H3Forge]

The happy people, booming economy, no stupid rap, beautiful music, my god I wish I could spend just a day in the 40s.

Besides the war, it looked like major fun to live back then.

[futrico69]

@H3Forge booming economy???

[H3Forge]

@futrico69

Yes.

The Great Depression was ended because of the war production, the US Economy shot up ridiculously because of all of the war machines being built. Look it up

[bobalegokid123]

@H3Forge me to



[MrRelic321]

@H3Forge Gotta be careful if your black to go back that far lol it would be nice tho

[ohwowshutup]

1:24

FALLOUT(:

love this music tho<3

[vilate77]

I LOVE that Logan, UTAH has a radio station that plays all these songs! I absolutely love it! I've tried to get them to put it on-line, but to no avail thus far. Maybe you can write in and suggest they do too. KLGN are their call letters.

[baubi17]

@vilate77

I live in Utah! What station is it? Thanks :)

[MehrzadsCottage]

I love the way you put the best songs of 40's together thanks. you did a great job

[lolaaex]

How I would love to have lived in the 40's. But sadly, I'm only 13. :(

Still VERY beautiful music!

[julahall24]

@lolaaex me ttooo. :D yay im not that weired now !!!

[MUFCSalfordRed]

@lolaaex You wouldn't 1939 to 1945

[Rhinogradentian]

@lolaaex Um, you want to live in wartime London during the blitz??? No, didnt think so.

[Wafflec0r3]

@lolaaex And get your ass blown off by soldiers. Delicious

[idan111]

@lolaaex

That is a very bold statement, don't omit the bad parts, you must remember that the 40's were terrible in many ways.

[jordan4ever100]

@lolaaex people in 2040 will say i wish i lived in 2011 lol youll see=)

[braders790]

@lolaaex same i love this osrt of stuff and im only 14, (i mainly pick it up from Bioshock)

[37Katee]

@lolaaex I'm 15 and i really want to live in the 40s too! it's annoying isn't it :(

[bobalegokid123]

@lolaaex lol me to but im 9 

[FrostyGerman]

I cant help but think of Bioshock when i listen to this.

[manoman12354]

Fallout made me love 40's music. It's nice to know some people focus on making quality things that immerse you in history and a different time period, and make you fall in love with it.

[3srellita]

I love this music, Just Wonderful

[Yuukino14]

Err... Aside form the music, I don't think any of you would really had preferred the 40s... It wasn't all easy and snazzy >_> But hey, great music!

[Socksthevilkitten]

These people can sing. Unlike lady gaga and justin beiber. Prettiest singing ive ever heard.

[ErikaResponding]

wish i could sing like the women from this era

[peacemaker2020]

Very bdal

Kuwait

[IamWimbo77]

Thank you for helping me do some research lovely songs and a nice mix of groups

[DenGott]

This is real memory stuff, I was shipped out of the bombing in London and brought up on bread and milk for afters we had this sustaining music to ease the strain. Brilliant just roll on more.

Densig
