There's a really great 60s style cover of this song by Larry Cartell in the terrible movie "Girl in Gold Boots". Sadly it doesn't seem to have been released anywhere.
I like how you took the different versions and put them in one video. I am researching music from 1951. Considering I have never heard the song until now, I could not tell you which version was better. So you saved me time! Thank!!
The original Four Aces version was on an "indie" label, Victoria. Since recordings on indie labels took longer to get on the charts than did those from major labels, it is likely that the Aces original was recorded significantly before Howard's was.
Yeah...it's a nice comparison, but I've always liked the Four Aces version better (the original). Eddy Howard just doesn't cut it on this song because he, in my opinon, sounds like an old man trying to sing. On the other hand, the Four Aces had a much smoother sound to their rendition. I was trying to upload the original Four Aces version, but it had to be a video and not just an audio.
I believe their original version is on their current Hits collections, regardless of label. That's the only one available now.
Interesting comparison of 1940s Howard and 1950s Aces. Howard is one 40s singer I can enjoy, altho in the 50s he was starting to lose his touch. Music was not as perfectionist before and after the 50s and early 60s.
If you have Windows Movie Maker and just one photo, use wma with it, you have a music video.
The Four Aces charted the song first, their first hit, on the independent Victoria label. After this hit they were signed to the Decca label. I'm certain that the version of theirs you have posted here is not the Victoria original but a much later compilation recording, perhaps by Decca because they never actually bought the rights to the original. Then Eddy Howard recorded it and hit even bigger with it.

I suppose I like the Four Aces version best because it is the one I grew up with, but all perform a very pretty song.

On this song, Eddie Howard Rules.
I remember this song from the late 40s I think when I was 12 or 13. In San Diego. Jr. HIgh School.

Duprees version is the best- with Joey Vann on lead.

This Eddie Howard version was 16 weeks number One on the charts.
Not bad. My first girlriend loved it, so naturally I did too.
Best to you Joan wherever you are.

I like the decca version of the aces good too.
Howard copied the aces version. Even the
arrangement of the song

That was beautiful. I'm a Duprees fan, but it was nice to hear the other versions as well.

I do think the Eddy Howard version is the original. Would you happen to have his first hit, "To Each His Own"? (The Majestic version).

I see the Aces charted one week before Howard in September, which I don't consider significant.
I have To Each His Own on the pictured Lps, which contain the original hit versions. I recommend them. I wanted it for his "The Girl That I Marry".
