Wonderful. What an amazing voice and timeless performance. Loved the slide show. Masterfully arranged. Her smiling at the end was perfect. Thank you!!
Thank you for posting this! Helen was such a classic beauty and very talented indeed. What a wonderful time this must have been. Just look at the lovely way she dressed and the hairstyles and makeup. Everything flattered her and made her look even more beautiful. Helen Morgan should be unforgettable.
Whiteman, Etting, Hanshaw, Holman... a nod to its life as a jazz standard (Allen, Coleman, Holiday, Goodman... as well as somebody who recorded it yesterday)... There's nothing I can add so I'll shut up, close my eyes (after watching the slideshow), and listen to a great version of a great song...
@heinbanjo12 The jazz standard we are familiar with today usually omits the verse. This is the original 1930 version, also recorded by Ruth Etting, Annette Hanshaw and Libby Holman.

Who could have Morgans's soul? She was sensational, and if she's out of fashion. she's still the greatest.
