  • Muito bom gosto - esta cancao com Francisco Alves, eh uma versao espetacular…recomendo

  • Excelente conservação do disco e do equipamento. Parabéns.

  • Wow ... what a terrific turntable. Brings back nice memories. Thank you for taking the time to do this.

  • Thank you!

  • The sound quality here is astonishingly good! Thanks for uploading, yopascualin. And what a wonderful song with the pairing of Glenn Miller and Ray Eberle. It doesn't get much better than them.

  • love the turntable but u should know .....the way they drop the record on the turntable while it spins scuffs your fine recordings never use an automattic turntable put the disk on then start it up and put the needle to the record

  • This was great! I love the old Philips turntable you have here. There was some great music in this period! Thanks for posting.

  • This sounds 100 times better than the version on the "RCA Original masters" CD- they should have used YOUR 78s!!!

  • aahh lovely, thankyou, i've never heard this one :0)

  • Thanks for sharing, I've loved it.

    Great quality by the way.

  • Enchanting, thank you for sharing! Also, love that phonograph!

  • Al Dubin wrote the lyrics, not Johnny Mercer. Herbert wrote the tune in 1919.

    My absolute favorite rendition would be Anita O'Day's swinging cut. What a great song.

  • The song itself is the product of two great talents. It was originally an instrumental piece composed in the early 1900's by the greatest American popular composer of that era, Irish born Victor Herbert. The lyrics were added 30 or 40 years later by the incomparable Johnny Mercer of Savannah Georgia. I always thought the bitter sweet lyrics captured the essence of the lovely tune.

  • brings back memories of going to my grandmother's as a child..she enjoyed Mr. Miller's music and had some record player similar to the style of this one...probably a zenith tho.

  • simplemente es hermosa la música...

  • I am 39 and have just started to discover the Big Bands also. It is truly wonderful music. Thanks for posting.

  • I'm also fond of the Jack Leonard version with Tommy Dorsey-but I must admid I own both records:-)

  • gorgeous looking turntable. I'm in love!

  • Cute visuals.

  • Glenn was a great musician, and a true American hero as well. I will always respect him and the others like him who gave up so much for our country. This song is beautiful.

  • SOOOOOOOOOO MILLER.

  • "You are here to watch over some heart that was broken by a word that somebody left unspoken .. " Sad song, great music!

  • Lovin' these posts! I'm 38 and I'm discovering this great music thanks to folks like you for taking the time to post your records online Yopa. Keep this stuff alive forever.

  • the master miller!!!

  • Miller knew how to strike a mood as well as begin and end a song. His different sections practised without bass and drums, to get more feeling. A little known fact is that Miller would play fourth trombone parts. On live recordings, you can hear him belt out those low notes.

  • harpsicordie you ABSOLUTELY RIGHT..from Spain always think so

  • Ray Eberle is okay, but on this song, Ginny Simms has a more credible interpretation. She glides and lets you know it was a real loss.

  • You are suave. And what a turntable!

  • Thanks a lot for all your comments.

    Hughs!

  • How I got interested in BIG BAND MUSIC. When I was about 16 years old (circa 1971) I bought an old crank up victrola and a TON of 78s off some old neighbor lady. It was a beautiful tall upright victrola made of "light colored oak". I paid 20 bucks for everything ($20.00 was alot of money then). Even though I still listened to Rock...beatles, stones etc....I became really interested in the old music and grew to love it. My favorite has always been Harry James....fantastic tone from his horn

  • I started getting interested in Big Band Swing @ 14 in 1974 - Harry James and Artie Shaw are my favorites - but there are SO many great records from that era.

  • Gorgeous song, nothing today could touch it

  • I remember this Philips recordplayer very well, its sounds great !!

  • Felicitaciones Don Pascualin por ese plato y ese disco!!!.

  • A lovely song, there is a version on here by Gracie Fields, completely different but nice, this is one of my favourite songs thanks for posting nice turntable too.

  • This was originally recorded on November 5, 1939, and released on the American "Bluebird" label...

  • There is a great version of this song by Miss Ella Fitzgerald at the Carnegie Hall in 75 or perhaps 76. Beautiful lyrics, great music and a heart rending performance. I just love it so much. She makes the melody float if thats the right word to describe the atmosphere.

  • Indian Summer was a great song - an old tune from the 1920s.

  • The definitive version of this great number. I think so, anyway!

    Thanks a million for sharing this masterpiece.

  • Even though I was born after Glenn Miller died, I love listening to his music. It's so evocative of an important time in US history, and a reminder that US can still be a great nation who helps solve the problems of this world, and not just cause them.

  • El disco esta 10 puntos. En aquel tiempo la RCA los hacia de buena calidad. Para conservar mucho tiempo asi ese valioso material yo te recomiendo tocarlo con una bandeja manual de baja vibracion, con variacion continua de velocidad (Garrard, Lenco, etc.) y una buena capsula magnetica con pua de diamante eliptica de no mas de 1.5 g de presion sobre el surco.

  • Hey gracias. He grabado estos videos con el principal proposito de mostrar en funcionamiento mi coleccion de cambiadiscos. Para escuchar los discos uso el Dual 1006 con la capsula GE VRII magnetica. Ese plato fue el primero de Dual admitido como Hi-Fi

  • Fantastic. Sounds awesome. I have just restored the mechanics of Philips truntable. Although I dont have any 78's I can try out yet. Thanks for posting this one.

  • I have this song on a Bluebird 78. May I say that your record sounds better. Could be your stunning Phillips. I use a Garrard RC-80 with Magnavox amps. Im getting an Elac XA100. I hope ELAC is a quality turntable. Please keep the Miller magic alive. Thanks.

  • Thank you for your comment.

    Believe me, the best cartridge I have used for play 78´s is the General Electric VR II. It´s magnetic.

  • i love this song

  • This PHILIPS turntable is awesome!

  • gracias por ponerlo, andaba buscando esta canción

    pero de verdad que eso que suena es tu picú?

    seguro que lo que suena no es el cd?

    joer tio es que no desafina nada, con lo puñeteros que son los vinilos,

    no sé, no sé, al final se oye un rasca muy sospechoso... :D

    yo tengo un picú DUAL en casa de mis papis

    pero lo machaqué con los beatles :(

  • Se que son muy puñeteros los discos pero te aseguro que tengo en perfecto estado la aguja y tocadiscos que cuelgo en los videos.

    Tambien te tengo que decir que los ruidos mecanicos son de sonido ambiente pero la reproduccion del disco va conectada directamente a la tarjeta de sonido para ofrecer el mejor sonido posible, yo lo veo asi. Ademas esos mismos tocadiscos los uso yo diariamente para escuchar musica en casa, de verdad!

    Gracias por tu comentario.

  • tarjeta de sonido? donde? en mi picú cuando lo abres da miedo

    ver esas viejas válvulas, en aquel tiempo (40's) no existía

    el sonido digital :D

    en esos aparatos la reproducción pasa necesariamente por la

    aguja que recorre los surcos que con el tiempo estan necesariamente

    machacados, sí, podría ser ese el sonido de tu disco en ese aparato

    si la aguja está limpia y ESE disco está en buenas condiciones,

    vamos, que se nota que no lo has puesto mucho, los vinilos se

    rallaban solo de mirarlos

  • Lo conecto a la tarjeta de sonido del ordenador para grabar el audio directamente al video.

    Por otro lado lo unico q puedo decirte es que cuido mucho los discos. No se que mas decirte...!

  • How dare you use a record player and not do your share to contribute to the wealth of Steve Jobs.

  • Is your changer missing the index feeler?

  • Yes! so I have to use the size button

  • oh my goodness that sounds just wonderful for 78rpm!!!

  • I love Ray Eberle's vocals. His brother Bob sang with Jimmy Dorsey, and performed many duets with Helen O'Connell. In fact, Glenn Miller ran into Bob once and asked whether he had a brother. When Bob said he did, Glenn said, "If he's a brother of yours, I know he can sing. Tell him I'll give him a job."

    Thanks for posting this song. Love it!

  • Thank you for your information. It´s always complements the vids. ;)

  • There hasn't been much-better music than that produced by the Glenn Miller Orchestra, with Ray Eberle on the vocals. In my opinion, Ray was the best of the big-band-era singers.

  • Vandy, I concur wholeheartedly.

  • So do I.

  • this reminds me of my mum i love and miss you so very much your everloving daughter ann xx

  • Uau!! Me encanta!!!

  • Hey, gracias! Me alegro de encontrarte.

  • Pues por aquí llevo unos dias. Para cualquier cosa manda mensaje, por cierto, el Dual todavia no lo tengo por problemas en la direccion que la pusieron mal. Estoy esperando una respuesta del vendedor...
