I'll Be With You In Apple Blossom Time - Harry James & His Orchestra with Helen Forrest

[maldelus]

In what years was this song recorded and released by Harry James & His Orchestra with Helen Forrest as vocal?

oops,I was reading the post about the train so if I could board that I'd love to get off in the big band era.Of course it would have to be a time traveling A Train.

I always think it's interesting to know that big bands like Harry James', and Glenn Miller's as well as some others, had string sections that weren't limited to a guitar and a cello. These guys had violins, and they used to great effect while still maintaining that swaying feeling these guys were famous for. Here, they kick in around :39.

@Mcoov I personally loves strings. They're so beautiful and can be used in a variety of ways. :)

Hope you all have been enjoying the music. I'll try and upload more soon. Thanks for stopping on by!

11,000 people made it to apple blossom time. 23 of them changed their names.

This was the theme of my senior prom. Man does it bring back memories and tears. All our great band leaders and artists are gone. What a great era for us.

Thanks for posting!

I agree, tell me where to catch the "A" train!

[antandshar]

Do you mean the chattanooga choo choo!!

[knitinggal]

I would like to catch that train too if it will take me back to this wonderful time.

WE SHOULD INCORPORATE A "COUNTRY" WHERE ONLY MUSIC AND CUSTOMS FROM THE 40's EXIST, PERIOD. I'M QUITE SURE WE COULD FILL IT UP.

WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THAT SUGGESTION???. B.

@pendragonshaw Love the music, and period, but I think you are over romancing it a bit. There was a war on and rationing, there was no health service or the advances in medicine and technology we take for granted today. No! A great place to visit but I wouldn't want to live there.

@pendragonshaw

If only...and if this kind of music came through the speakers it would be first class all the way.Where do I board?

[BIGSLMAN]

Love it, thanks for uploading.

Helen Forrest was the best female big band singer of them all!

[SamTheToyRobot]

Yeah, she was great.

:)

[ljliljohn]

You betcha! I especially like her on the Goodman version of 'Perfidia'.

[sheayankee]

Helen sang so many great songs but my favorite is "I've Heard That Song Before"with Harry James.

Awesome!
