Gene Austin - Ramona (1924)

[goldenmoviepalace]

This is an earlier recording of Ramona by Gene Austin. So it could be from 1924. He made a different record in 1928 after the movie came out with another arrangement I have hear d it many times. The movie by the way, long considered lost, is found and is being restored at this time. A nitrate print was discovered in the Czech Archive in 2002. It took several years for funding to materialize. The project is is now underway.

It is one of the saddest melodies I can ever recall melancholy But I love it makes me think Of my dearest departed son and loving wife thank you for showing it here.

This song reminds me of my little cousin who was named Ramona who passed away at birth around 1926 when I was about a year old.

Why does this not sound like Gene Austin? I'm no expert on the singers of the era, but are you sure this is Gene Austin? A nice recording though.

@KURTEGER This is a re-recording from the '40's or '50's I believe. It is not the original from 1928.

Very nice rendition, but this recording could be done after 1924 because the song was presented in Dolores del Rio's movie in 1928.
