I first listened to this yesterday and realized why so many older folks back in childhood days loved Guy and his orchestra.I also see another aspect of Kate Smith I had not known of before.So special.Thanks for posting this video.
@roybo1930 Thanks. This was one of my first postings and I think I could have improved the sound using some of my newer transfer techniques. It's also one of the first Lombardo records I acquired about 40 years ago.
@HarborGuy These two were very popular mainly from their radio exposure. I found an old radio editors poll published in 1932 that showed Kate Smith edging out Ruth Etting in popularity among female singers. Guy Lombardo and Ben Bernie were two most popular dance orchestras.
Haven't heard this for years-wonderfull-Kate Smith, Guy Lombardo what a great team.I really love hearing the needle moving across the disk,adds to the nostalgic quality-
She was an amazing artist who started out great and easily changed with the times. In fact some of her greatest record sales were occuring near the end of her career. She was a woman of amazing energy and wide interests, an admitted "sports nut" and someone who loved people, good times and hard work. I don't think boredom and down time existed for her. She wore stardom lightly; she loved being just one of the crowd in real life.
Delicious early thirties sweet music! Lombard has it all together in 1931! I love this tune! I have the Art Jarrett vocal of this which I plan to post if someone hasn't beat me to it! Thanks for posting this forgotten gem. Just great!
@2reeler Thanks. This was one of the first 78s I acquired when I started collecting in the 1960s. Both Kate Smith and Guy Lombardo were still living then and both were still quite active. I was surprised that their paths crossed in the early 1930s and they produced this little gem. It has always been one of my favorites. I look forward to your posting of the Al Jarrett version.
Great song. Not heard this one before. Kate certainly has a great voice even when she was quite young. Thanks for posting. I have posted a video response to this which is a radio broadcast of her singing "I've got rthym" which I took off an acetate disk.
Wonderful - the best of the times. Just thank God and Edison - the last Century was the only one to be save for posterity on film and recordings......
Lovely recording...didn't realize Kate Smith sang romantic ballads!

A classic. The band, the sultry world weary voice. And Carmens lead sax-
The Lombardo's are on any desert island list I would make, from this era in particular.

@baghend The pairing of Kate with the Lombardo band make this a special one.

Kate Smith had such a great voice. It seems nowadays people want to have a winey voice.
