Great Depression Music: I'm Through With Love, 1931

[Mr99BOXER]

maybe they want to see Jean Harlow who would be a movie star of this era.  A fine song though, don't listen to the complaints.

Great song...one of my favourties! Thank you very much for posting!

[baghend]

A great old tune and a nice arrangement, and the Marilyn photos were much appreciated. A terribly tragic life for the most part, used and abused by many, sadly.

I hit the teen aged years when she was very popular, and was the subject of many adolescent fantasies. Sigh.

Thanks for this.

[cubanbach]

GET MARILYN out of there!!!!!! What the heck does she have to do with THIS MUSIC????????

[andreidinax]

@cubanbach

she made this song famous or more famous than it was when she sang it in the movie Some like it hot. probably the one who uploaded this is a Marilyn fan or heard it for the first time in that movie either way there is some corelation between the pictures and the song

[cubanbach]

@andreidinax ok....I guess that's ONE excuse to continue to overexpose Marilyn...although her image will forever be connected to the very late 40s, 50s and early 60s at most. Just my two-cents.

[patoman881]

I can understand a purist's point of view regarding Marilyn, but people do remember her singing this song in "Some Like It Hot." Thus the connection.

[bill3murr]

this is a great number. marilyn is just fine here; after all, she did a wonderful sultry version in Some Like It Hot. so she couldn't sing...well..so what; she is nice on the eyes...ha. thanks.

[rogharm]

great record but monroe must go back to jack kennedy not to youtube.. great opera singer and great snappy great musical arrangement the record, not likey the monroe. great musical post love it. ROGHARM

[Albertarecords7ny]

Way back then, and these lyrics kick ass even today! This song is so cleverly penned it's downright hypnotically haunting!

[78timothy]

The vocalist is Harold "Scrappy" Lambert. Also as a studio recording which this is, as Voorhees was alway a Broadcat and Studio Conductor for Pop music, This is a

Glenn Miller Arrangement, W/Miller doing the Trombone solo at .29. I have this HOW recording. I always have been very impressed with their fidelity considering the medium used to press the recordings.

[cubanbach]

sorry but Marilyn Monroe really ruins still for me...(i love her but not here, please...)

[LBETOCC]

@cubanbach totalmente de acuerdo me encanta marilyn pero su imagen es posterior a la música.

[cubanbach]

@LBETOCC absolutamente...

[tissetatten]

@cubanbach marilyn can never ruin anything!!

[cubanbach]

@tissetatten --- silly fanatical talk...

[tissetatten]

@cubanbach do you or do you not know she sang this song in a movie? and its way better then this version. And marilyn is gorgeous to look at so i dont know why your saying " get this marilyn monroe stuff outta here".. Would you rather see some strapping young men on the video instead?

[cubanbach]

@tissetatten "Chacun a son gout...." In other words, it's just my opinion, you have another one. That's fine.

[Bigband78]

I never realized Don Voorhees lived in Allentown,Pa ,20 minutes from here.

[sylvestermeow]

Great song. The Monroe clips were ironic, and powerful. dada new york

[AUSSIEGIRL2496]

that was the year my nan was born lol

[Patrick3183]

oh for god sakes. get this marilyn monroe stuff outta here. this GREAT DEPRESSION music.

[jd03150]

I'm with you, Patrick. MM has no place among these great songs. The girl looked good, but she couldn't carry a tune in a bucket.

[ohbibliophile]

@Patrick3183

Oh that is funny. Why is she in there? I agree.

[re4lyfe]

i appreciate this music alot mare because the artist can just sing what problems he had but now its just about how your heartbroken from a cheater and you moved on to some one else its so annoying

[fatsfan70]

A lovely song but it goes at such a lick that the pathos is lost - they seemed to want to get it over quickly! Made me dig out and play Bing Crosby's 1931 recording with a studio orchestra which is close to perfect - not yet on YT it seems.

[Andytainment]

zeitlos schön

[kw94544]

I was referring to "The Depression" Lovely song.

[kw94544]

what on earth does Marilyn Monroe have to do with this song or the depression?

[terranova6666]

WHAT THE FUCK?!?! Is this supposed to be depressiv? What the hell is my music here on youtube if this is sad music? *sigh*

[bearcub410]

marilyn monroe sung this song in the movie some like it hot

[bearcub410]

lovely

[zaara139]

i wish the music was'nt so annoyoingly upbeat

[Nikolaii257]

Thank you for archiving these valuable gems and the fascinating historical account you provided. This melody is going to be favored by me and also added on to my playlist. Again, many thanks for your good job.

[CardsWSChamps06]

reppin allentown pa hard thats my hometown

[absoluteMK]

The lyrics will always apply to many no matter how old this song may be...

[Victrolaman1]

I remember when Allentown,Pa was a beautiful clean city,and I'm suprised To hear Don Voorhees came from there.By the way,Great Video.

[lindyhoppers]

I got the original of this HOW and Scrappy Lambert is on vocal

[genia106]

Wow! That was such a beautiful desciption of a wonderful memory. Thank you for sharing it. I can see those twinkling stars, feel a balmy breeze and hear that distant piano, perhaps, playing one of my favorite songs, "You're My Everything" :)

[merrihew]

Another HOW of typical high quality. Great pictures.

[genia106]

I visited the Hotel Del when I was in San Diego. What a glorious old hotel with such a special history. "Some Like It Hot" was one of the best comedies ever made. Superb cast and Marilyn was magnificent. Thanks for the song. I visualize (Daphne/Jack Lemmon) and Joey E. Brown dancing the tango and Marilyn steaming up Tony's glasses.

[HarborGuy]

Indeed, I have been there and it is haunted also...Great song, Great movie, Great, Great actress.....thank you.....
