People here write of listening to their grandparents well I'm just a bit older than on commenter (68 in May) but I remember listening to Miss Clooney's recording on the radio (we didn't get a TV until 1956). For some odd reason I just thought of this song (especially the deep bass refrain) and sure enough hear it is on youtube.com. Many thanks!
@monteleone1010 -- that big bass voice was Thurl Ravenscroft -- also the voice of Tony the Tiger, the lead headstone in the Haunted Mansion, Fritz the Parrot in the Tiki Room, and the guy who sang "You're a Mean One, Mr. Grinch".
I can only remember hearing this song on an old 78 RPM record at my Grandparents house when I was little...... it sounds great remastered. Her voice is really clear - the old 78 sounded muddy and scratchy.
rosemary clooney was born May 23, 1928 and died June 29, 2002 (74) Rosemary Clooney was an American singer and actress. "This Ole House", although she had success as a jazz vocalist. Clooney's career languished in the 1960s, partly due to problems related to depression and drug addiction, but revived in 1974, when her White Christmas co-star Bing Crosby asked her to appear with him at a show marking his 50th anniversary in show business. She continued recording until her death in 2002.

Oh the memories. I remember my grandmother singing this song to me when I was about 4-5 years old. I love it and I loved her. I'm now 62 years young.

Great number. Does someone know the owner of the big voice we hear here and there on this record?

I think the woman at 38 to 44 seconds is Jo Stafford.

Yes, that's right. It is a picture. Of course the audio is uninterrupted and perfect.

Somebody goofed. The lady between :38 and :44 is most definitely not Rosemary Clooney.
