Beautifulf song! Beautiful lyrics! Great orchestra! What a combination. Does anyone know which movie this song appeared way back in the 40s in any?

long time favorite

Glenn Miller's music is just so classy! What style! What grace! Try to imagine what he would have done if he hadn't died so early. He was only 40 years old.

Great video, thx for posting it... It's my favourite version of this song, of all times! Coincidentally, I also have this acetate (from my mother) :)

BTW, of what time is the set (where the recording is played), exactly?

Really enjoyed everything of the vid.

My husband and I walked out of our wedding at the end to this version of this song. Always brings back sweet memories.

My father was a big Tommy Dorsey fan & of course Frank Sinatra.... I swear I think my father owned just about every Tommy Dorsey & Frank Sinatra record ever recorded....

Mr.Nelson had a more pleasing voice than Ray Eberle. He also played sax in the band. His singing on (Pink Roses For A Blue Lady), is dramatically sad. It's about a girl in Vienna, during the war. Too bad he was so underated. Moonlight Mood, is a great song too.

I know that Skip didn't stay with the Miller orchestra long, as they broke up after Glenn entered the service in September 1942...you have a good heritage if you had Skip as your great-grandfather, 'robert'!

[fromthesidelines]

This was one of Skip Nelson's first recorded vocals with the Miller band after Ray Eberle left in June 1942...
