Helen Ward voices is great, but I prefer Helen Forest as James's singer.

Dreamy voice!

With more than eighty different recordings since it was written for "Babes in Arms" in 1937, this beautiful ballad is a typical example of the craftsmanship from Richard Rogers and Lorenz Hart. Harry James' band (the first big band to incorporate a string section) and the marvelous Miss Ward are perfection. Note the cleverly-inserted quote near the end from the melody to "A Dreamer's Holiday" (1949), made famous in a recording that year by Perry Como. Pure magic.

Rodgers&Hart at their best.

What a nice recording of a beautiful vocal by Ms Ward! Thanks for posting it!

Harry James was the luckiest man on Earth to have two goddesses named Helen as vocalist "Ward" and Forestt" Great posting.

Beautiful song and video. I just love the spectator shoes they all wore in the photo.

Memories are made of this. Thanks!

The first picture is a publicity photo of Helen Ward. The second photo of the orchestra includes the then female soloist Connie Haines, as noted in the caption at the bottom.
