Wayne opened the Aragon Ballroom in the late 20's and his band was invited to perform in 1964 on the eve of them closing it down. Love his music. My Grandmother taught me to dance listening to his waltz's. King also composed music and worked longer than most leaders. A long and happy life.

Al's presentation is a typically, uncontrollable JUMP! into the meat of the matter, which through it's original form, was meant to surprise the listener with a late deliverance into the lyrics, and ultimate meaning of the song. Al's version gives no time for the listener to revel in the instrumentation. It just dives head first into the summary of what this song gave Al the inspiration to create upon undertaking a reconstruction of this song. :/

[utdfortreble]

wayne king = wanking hahahahahahaha

decent music though

[jekorb]

LOVED this beautiful instrumental at the end of the original "Father of the Bride" (1931) with Spencer Tracy and Liz Taylor. So romantic---Father and Mother dancing together after all have left. My favorite scene!

[graficware]

[makingslides]

Mekitcedek2 and the video Lovely Silent Film Actresses is something to see. Don't talk for that person but when its nice its nice

[daughterrevolution]

His surviving wife was a silent film star, Dorothy Janis. She just had her 100th birthday!

[TashkentFox]

I prefer Al Bowlly's version, much more sentimental and relaxing, this version sounds like it was recorded by a military band.

[11lap11]

Wow... this is the REAL thing. Some of the Wayne King recordings that you can buy on c.d. today aren't original old recordings. When I was a little girl, mother and daddy used to dance in the living room to Wayne King's music; that was their entertainment. I would sit in a chair and enjoy watching them. Daddy would pick me up and dance me around, too. How I miss them. Thank you so much for this. I hope I can find "The Waltz You Saved For Me" and "Josephine."

[Leebm29]

@11lap11 'The Waltz you saved for me' was his theme song during the 30s when he was on Sunday afternoon radio , we listened every week. You can probably buy it on Ebay for a few dollars

I worked in radio early in my life in the United States [early 1950s]. Of course, things were a lot more traditional then. Almost every station in the country would sign on in the morning by playing the U.S. national anthem. The tradition was not as widespread, but many of those same stations would play this song at the end of their broadcast day. Eventually gave up radio for television news, but the radio days were happy, fun-filled times.

[borosas]

ohhhh diooooosss!!! ...que cancion tan linda.....gracias....gracias..­...es preciosaaaaaa...!!!

[oldmoviemusic]

I am fifteen, I collect LPs and I love the movie Father of the Bride, which finishes with this song. I could never find out its name, until just yesterday I picked up a large assortment of 45 singles, and this one unknowingly was apart of them! I was shocked when I played it!

[ellenhawk]

Love the WK sound. Back around 1932 my mom had a turtle named Wayne King.

[TheDrunksoul]

wayne king sounds like wanking

[Rochester1960]

What a treat tonight. Thank youl

[xevcosmo]

Very nice, a smooth mello version, out the same year as the great Russ Colombos.

[SteveCarras]

I'm listening to his longtime theme song, "The Waltz you saved for me", Wrote it, as well as "Josephine' and "Goofus".

[bwazoo2000]

One of my favorites! He inspired me to take up the sax in middle age. A real gentleman of the big band era. Thanks for sharing!

[vinylsingleman]
