This is the original version of "At Last" by Glenn Miller and His Orchestra with lead vocals by Ray Eberle. It reached no. 9 on the Billboard pop singles chart in the U.S. in 1942. It was from the movie Orchestra Wives where Ray Eberle sings it as a duet in a longer version. The first recording of "At Last" was in 1941 as an instrumental by Glenn Miller and as a version with vocals by John Payne and Pat Friday for the movie Sun Valley Serenade. But these versions were not released.

@kingoma61 - bless you for the info! My channel's 500 playlists include 111 lists for every year since 1900. I'm trying to be historically accurate and would have put this in a year too soon without your help. Come on over & listen to the music of any past year like you've taken a trip back in time! Today I'm creating a playlist to honor the music of Harry Warren.

[alberto9js]

WOw!! :O excellent music!!

[fromthesidelines]

Etta "revived" the song on one of her 1960 albums- and her version is the best known today. Pat Friday "ghosted" several actresses' singing voices at 20th Century-Fox in the early '40s (including Lynn Bari's "vocals" in both of Glenn's films)- and she was properly credited in the liner notes and labels of Miller's soundtrack LP compilations in the '50s and '60s...

[nicolaj0154]

hey,

how do you connect these kind of turntabels to the computer?...

[yopascualin]

@nicolaj0154 The turntable is connected to the amplifier. The output amplifier to the input pc audio card.

[argentoh]

lindo lindo

[bulldogbarks55]

This is THE best and only true version of this song. The Miller band at its peak. It doesn't get any better than this.

[bigybri]

20 yrs before Etta James sang this song, it was a million seller, which back in those days would be considered platinum today. Both records are great., but the best Miller version was in the movie "Orchestra Wives"

[tubellarbells]

Al final me consegui una 1004 pero el falta la pieza donde va la cápsula y creo que también las gomas del borde del brazo :( what to do. Saludos.

[RaymondTVinyl]

What an awesome Record Player!! Thanks for sharing!

[MorganPolander]

Ms. James flattens the fifth on this song, harmonically turning into a blues. A brilliant but simple move.

[patoman881]

His Master's Voice label recordings can be very clean sounding-I have this on the Victor label as it was when it came out in 1942-as opposed to the later RCAVictor label after 1946

[notstopping]

Hurray!! I love this. Etta James really can sing it the best too.

[usmcdog68]

I remeber my older brothers and sisters had this song as well many form Glen Miller. That was great generation

[Gregiebear]

I LOVE THAT SONG! Very nice turntable too! I've only seen them on here. Never encountered one in all my collecting days.

[acfinney]

Glenn might still be alive. Remember, he was never found. Anyway Etta James is overrated. Her version makes me cringe.

[Gregiebear]

Love Glenn's version best too! I was like Who does Etta think she is claiming that's HER song?? I was an Etta fan until she went GHETTO on Beyonce for trying to pay tribute to her.

[hilary2k]

fer REALZ!!!!!

[kroneage]

@Gregiebear haha..... I thought it was Etta's too. Then I met an elderly lady who had volunteered w/ the Ghost voice of Lynn Bari. Singing in Hollywood Canteen & on Armed Forces Radio during WWII. She knew a young Hellen Patricia Freiday (Pat Friday) during the war.

She was upset by Etta's belligerence and claim to own the song too. Pat is now 87yo & just beginning to get credit for being the first female to sing it in "Orchestra Wives"! hehe...."At Last" ;-)

[Emiranzo]

Congrat for your Dual 1004 in great shape!!!

I'm a Dual Turntables fan.

[wb5oxq]

Very smooth noise free audio from a 78.

[bluepunk18]

Thanks!

[bluepunk18]

But Glenn Miller didn't sing. This is Ray Eberle singing. Thanks for posting. And what is that gorgeous record player you have?

[yopascualin]

It´s a Dual Party 1004s portable.

Thank you.

[iconecon]

thank a loooot for the post

i love this!

[iconecon]

yeah right, i though it was etta's song..

while she recycle this song too...

she should never say that to beyonce

[unico]

So is Glenn Miller going to kick Etta James's A**?

Thanks for the upload, very cool and beautiful

[lovie2000]

@unico-- I doubt it...........how can you kick someones A** from the grave

That would be amazing

[jpo4445]

Hat's off to Mack Gordon and Henry Warren too for writing the song!

[LazyBlueHaze]

I don't understand the hubbub with Etta James over Beyonce. It's not even Etta's song. She just did a cover. My hat off to Glenn Miller for giving us so much during WWII.

[ktvfdp]

This is the '41 John Payne and Pat Friday's version (Sun Valley Serenade), the '42 Pat Friday and Ray Eberle's (Orchestra Wives) or the '42 Ray Eberle solo's?

[kingoma61]

Glenn Miller recorded a long duet version for the film Orchestra Wives and a 78 single version that featured Ray Eberle that peaked at no.14 on the Billboard pop charts in 1942. Ray Anthony reached no.2 when he remade the song in 1952. Etta James got to no.47 on the pop chart and no.2 on the R&B chart in 1961. Beyonce Knowles recorded "At Last" in 2008.

[piratelord091]

its so nice to hear this version... although i love the Etta James version, i love the old feeling this song gives.

[bogratncookie]

Apparently this song features in the new Wall-E film!

[Cavelson]

Not a single scratch!

[Corrie121]

This makes an old geezer feel young again!

Thanks for your postings. All five star.

[Cavelson]

Nahh! You're not so old!

[MrStyle23]

Wonderful!

[LHUPA]

I wouild like to see your TELEFUNKEN, ELAC and Thorens in action. Perhaps I didn't seek well in your database but I want to see!

[LHUPA]

You seem to have a stunning turntable collection!... How much you have?

[yopascualin]

Hi! I have, 1004, 1005, 1006 ,1008 and 1010 Dual turtables. Others are Philips, Elac, Garrard, Thorens, Telefunken, Webcor, Luxor and Philco.

About fifteen record changers. Most of them are working.

Thanks you a lot.

[LHUPA]

I admire someone who collects records, antique electronics as jukeboxes, turntables, radios and tv's! Yesterday's electronics are authentic and not chinese crap! I have a special admiration for 60's and 70's electronics!

[xevcosmo]

Still the best version! Thank you so much.

[xxchinookxx]

If I would of been in my 2o's during the 1940's, I don't know if I would of been a gigolo or a pilot in the Army Air Corp. This music is very romantic...............

[hobodreamer]

This is the one thing my dad and I could see eye to eye on, Glen Miller! I love the big band sound and songs like this were my favorite! I miss my dad, I wish he were alive to enjoy YouTube.

[yopascualin]

Nice true story. A lot of thanks.

[Astoriaguy23]

So nice to read a remembrance of your Dad. My Dad as well loved the Big Band Era (he was a drummer in a small band for many years) and I'm so glad he introduced this music to me, since I love it as well. Thanks, again, for sharing. :)

[hobodreamer]

My dad sang back up on a Glen Campbell song was his only musical accomplishment, he enjoyed that immensely he was great at harmonies but would be the first to admit he didn't have a solo voice or this is what he would have sang, but like you he was my musical connection. thanks for the come back.

[fromthesidelines]

Glenn and his orchestra {Ray Eberle, vocal} introduced this song in their 20th Century-Fox film "Orchestra Wives" (1942). Most people, however, know this from frequent use of Etta James' 1961 recording in commercials and other media...

[Mudimush]

How about an edge-on view of the 1004 record scan (in a future video) the way you did the 1006 on the Rosalie video?

[yopascualin]

Ok. I´ll do it for you!

[albamaria54]

Gracias yopascualin por responder a mi comentario, de verdad te lo agradezco.

[kingnek]

this i believe to be the original version of At Last, whic Etta James made popular in 1961. Then countless other artists cover this song

[fairylilac]

This is just great, thanks for it.

[albamaria54]

Siempre quise tenere este tema porque es muybueno y no se escucha tanto como los otros

[yopascualin]

Te grabo uno exclusivamente para ti que so oiga mas, te parece bien?

[radiogram56]

En casa de un amigo, aquí en Benidorm, coleccionista de radios, radiogramolas, tocadiscos, válvulas... he encontrado el Dual anterior a los que nosotros tenemos. El que se fabricó hasta 1954-55, con el estabilizador en el otro lado, donde normalmente va el cambio de velocidades.

[yopascualin]

Ese es la mar de chulo tambien y lleva el mismo tipo de traccion y ciclo independiente al plato. Estoy viendo como hago funcionar el Webcor a 50 Hz. Me parece q le voy a cambiar el motor....

[radiogram56]

Voy a ver si consigo que me lo deje o me lo regale... pertenecía a una radiogramola, es decir, está el tocata suelto por ahí. También le falta la fonocápsula. Por cierto, conseguí desmontar las ruedas de fricción del Dual. Era facilísimo!!! Sólo quitar un arito de goma. Ahora a ver si las restauro... Merece la pena, es un tocata muy majo.

[rykardogui]

ok magnifico maravilhoso

[BrooklynMouse]

I believe this was the original version by Glenn Miller. It was released on the Bluebird label back in the 1940's. It was later became a hit by Etta James back in around 1961.

[radiogram56]

Que preciosidad de tema. Me transporta atrás en el tiempo...

[SETTERLY]

GLENN IS THE BEST THANK YOU. HAL
