Della Reese - My Devotion

[OneKewpie]

To 30SecondsoOfFame...What an interesting story about your father, how proud you must be of him. Thanks for that, and thanks to GoldenOldies101 for posting.

Congratulations to your dad!

This is one of my personal favorites sung by Della.

I've loved this song for years. The first time I heard it was on a Dot Records single by Tab Hunter. While Mr. Hunter was not the the best singer in town, he did a very respectable job and it was clear the song is a gem and has held up well through the years. Thank you, Roc Hillman (and GoldenOldies101)

HI CHRIS

[30SecondsOfFame]

My father Roc Hillman wrote this song. He's 99 years old, has played with Tommy and Jimmy Dorsey's orchestra, Glenn Miller, Frank Sinatra, Bing Crosby and is one of the last of the big band musicians alive today. It's great to see it on YouTube! Thanks!

@30SecondsOfFame HI CHRIS, IT'S MARTY I CAME OUT THERE TO ESTHER'S WHEN I WAS 16. I REMEMBER YOUR FATHER WROTE THAT BEAUTIFUL SONG. HOW ARE YOU.

[30SecondsOfFame]

@MISSMARLEA1 Hi Marty. I'm Roc's youngest son, Tod. Who was Esther? Who's Chris?

[constructionsource]

@30SecondsOfFame hi tod, i might be getting names mixed up but i do remember being told your father wrote that song. i was out visiting my aunt in sherman oaks when i was a teenager + you lived across the street i thought your sister's name was kris + she later married a guy name steve.can i still be wrong? marty

[30SecondsOfFame]

@constructionsource me you're right! OK Esther was married to Clark and had a son Rory! Yeah - Kris and Steve are still married....if I contacted Kris would she remember you?

[CaitlinBrooksMusic]

@30SecondsOfFame Oh my goodness, your father is (or was) sure holding on. I'm happy for you and your family.

This is a great song written by a great man!

[newstart2009]

Many have seen her acting before the singing...I know in my generation I saw her on Chico and the Man, Love Boat etc...She had a successful recording career before that and still records as far as I know , and I'm excited she's going to do another TV project!

[dracone7]

i on the other hand give it the highest marks... but i admit della has gotten better with time

[elunedwoo]

She is new to me but I like her voice,as its very strong and very clear, so now I'm going to try some more songs, thanks!

[dracone7]

u didnt see della in touched by an angel? thats where i first saw her...

[Fegen]

I can't give this record high marks.

It really lacks something to keep one

interested in listening to it.

@Fegen I can understand and i know why you can,t give this record, song and lyrics high marks because you are sitting on your ears, what wrong with your ears
