I generally don't care for waltzes but Baur saves this one.

The intro to this one is unique to say the least.

[idasynco]

I agree. that dramatic opening was what sets this above and beyond!!! thx for sharing!!

[pax41]

Glad you thought so to Karen. I always like the unique and creative arrangements.

Nice version!  I'm sure that this song was very heavily recorded in '27 in both vocal and instrumental renditions. I would imagine that the recordings by Henry Burr and Vaughn de Leath are the best known renditions of the song from this era.
