[forsythbill1]

my mother and father where great fans as are all their kids and theirs in turn.

[1948timothy]

What a great talent, I really like her singing style....

[gameonline13]

i love her songs. so much better than todays music.

[Ukekrazy]

I see there are some young people still listening to american classics...and I am one of them. a fifteen year old high school student listening to some of the gretest music of all time.

[kafavis]

prachtig

[Malleolust]

I'm a 23 year old woman, and absolutely in love with Ms. Stafford's voice. There is nothing else like it. I say we bring back the times of beautiful dresses, classy women, gentlemen, and such sweet melancholy like this. It brings tears to my eyes.

[Elihuvc]

durante muchos años me imagine su rostro, solo podia disfrutar de su voz incontables veces en mi niñez pero ahora que por fin veo su rostro me quede sorprendido de tanta belleza.

[hughman55]

Yes, it looks like her. Just a really early photo. What a voice!!! She could sing the phone book and I'd listen.

[caravan922]

This is a beautiful song nd Jo does a great job,if you like this I'd like to suggest you go to youtube and listen to June Christy sing Midnight Sun it's a tough song to sing but June does an outstanding. job

[Manja2503]

Wasn't she great! Her voice brings back all those young years with all young dreams! -

And yes, the photo IS Jo Stafford, only at a very young age!

[caravan922]

I've always been a Big Band and Jo Stafford fan but had never heard this beautiful song until this afternoon on a web station-Thanks for sharing

[tunesmith09]

Dear Politeama, jukeboxman1950, and other wonderful folks of such excellent taste ...just my humble opinion, but there is very little, if any, music today. It began dying decades ago and is currently on life support. Today there are mainly "yellers and noisicians" who dress like slobs and wouldn't recognize a good singer, song, or arrangement if someone forced them to listen to it. No force...to each their own...just appreciate folks like you...Tunesmith

[Corrie121]

@tunesmith09

Well said.

[somersetdc]

She sounds a little like Patsy Cline. Patsy was great...but I think Jo Stafford had a prettier and sweeter voice.

[retrato69]

Es una canciòn muy dulce que canta Jo su voz es bellisima esta canciòn me ha maravillado!!!

[tickyreal]

wow

[byebyelove1944]

Good old classic.

[njezan1]

This song was a perennial favourite on Croatia radio stations, and is still being played, because it is a timeless classic.

One wishes it would never end.

[jacbar39]

...thank you for posting this...what a tremendous voice she had...

[Unvraiparisien]

I can be listening to her my entire life.

Beautiful voice.

She was musically perfect and this can't be said about many good singers, but you won't be wrong with Miss Stafford.

On top of that she was superbly good looking, and for what I have read she was also very down to earth and sincere.

Lovely!

[v8a8n8o8s8s]

Thank you for posting. I remember that this song still got quite a lot of airplay around 1970.

[debunks]

My mother loved her songs and sang them quite frequently. She had a lovely voice and this is a beautiful song. Songs really meant something back in those days.

[Spaguy62]

"Songs really meant something back in those days" Perfectly said. As corny as it sounds, we could use a dose of these types of lyrics and heart-felt melodies today. How about the depth and the earnestness in Jo's voice? What an outstanding vocalist. I miss her. Thanks Jo!

[tunesmith09]

Her prime was before I was walking the planet...we lost her recently...wish I had had a chance to meet/hear her in person but did not. So distinctive...so special. Thank you, Miss Jo...what a blessing you continue to be to the world...

[zakmessien]

sweet tears in my eyes.........

[divalover2007]

i have always wondered why 'he' is not coming back..

[divalover2007]

my mother had the old 78 rpm once..

[Politeama]

I think that she was very beautiful and I do not need to say that she was a fantastic singer. An American treasure. Young people should listen to her because after you are exposed to artists of her caliber, you can't listen to the so popular garbage that it is being played on the radio nowadays.

[jukeboxman1950]

@Politeama I agree with you 100% I'm 30 years old & I have always loved old music pretty much anything before the Beatles. If people my age & younger would take the chance to listen to this music & the words they would soon find out that new music doesn't hold a flame to the music of yesteryear. Oldies Forever.

[Juejar]

Thank you for this, another who loves Jo Stafford. I see 'I'll Walk Alone' has been taken off, hope it wasn't me that wore it out.

[onchanal]

I used to listen with my wife to Jo Stafford when we were courting in 1952.This was on Radio

Luxembourg on Sunday night. When the prog finished it was out down the road to catch the last bus back to RAF Camp. Golden Memories.

We are still married and love Jo Stafford.

Thanks You Tube!!!!

M aunt introduced me to Jo Stafford when was a very young child. I absolutley love this song. I was 6years old when I first heard it and it has haunted me for 50 years. Now that I have found it on YouTube after all these years, I have no one to tell who was there when I first discovered this treasure. Regretable y

[keesevenblij]

I did have the same experiance as you had, also my aunt had this record and any time she listened to it she started crying over and over again. I was born at 1950 so about your age

[13milady]

@LITG8TOR Will always love the oldies. My favorite of Jo Stafford's is "No Other Love" You can tell me even tho' I wasn't there.Where did the time go (50 years) I am now 70 years old

[annanopicture]

times are changing indeed, keesevenblij, maar huilen kan je nog steeds erg goed op deze muziek

[keesevenblij]

Mijn tante had net als wij deze 78 toeren plaat en elke keer als ze die draaide moest de schat huilen, times are chancing.

[hkjazz1]

who is this face in the video? Does not look like Jo Stafford.

[annanopicture]

circa 1954: Portrait of American pop and jazz vocalist Jo Stafford wearing a V-neck dress and costume jewelry, posing with a fur stole draped over her shoulder...

[hkjazz1]

She is very beautiful. The TIME Briefing column wrote that "she was shy and neithe greatly beautiful..." The writer Johnathan Schwartz must be using the modern day view to guage beauty.

graag gedaan!

bedankt namens mijn tante!
