man the older i get the more i love older music i listen to alot of 60 music and i love that but i discover older stuff and im fasinated by it theres no cmparing todays with yesterdas music wow

[tzvia1999]

Wish this and all the Hoagy Carmichael songs and music were popular now. I am grateful for this "you tube" [old] performance. It is sad that that these old favorites are not heard today.

[11Kralle]

How should one paint a rembrandt-like picture, when he only got the idea of smashin´ tar against walls? Thats the same as it is with todays music: if you only know loops and one harmony, real music must be a mistery...

Oí esta canción por primera vez en 1963 interpretada por Bing Crosby. siempre tuve curiosidad de quien la habría compuesto y ahora lo veo en U tube. De una época en que la música era eso no ruido. Gracias por subirla. Jorge Mario

[TheJedgeworth]

Thank you, thank you, thank you! I'm speechless..

[eroc1234]

i love this music my grand dad raised me on allot of it

[lesterwyoung]

The melody of this song was written by Sidney Arodin, a New Orleans clarinet player. Hoagy wrote the words.

to ImaPunk951, you have good taste and r an individual, 2 commodities that r a little rare. try Djangles Reinhart, the music played on Johnny Depp's movie, Chocolat. his music is really neat too.

[ImaPunk951]

I am 15 but this is one of my favorite songs. I am the only kid that likes this kind of music in my entire school

[betterthansex123]

@ImaPunk951 I know how it feels to be that kid. 

[MrSouthphillyitalian]

@ImaPunk951 what you know about this kid

[ImaPunk951]

@MrSouthphillyitalian Calm down sir. I just like this music is all. We can all like it young and old ok

[MrSouthphillyitalian]

@ImaPunk951 mybad

[TheGiantsfan89]

@MrSouthphillyitalian nahhh this kid can listen to what he wants

[MrSouthphillyitalian]

@TheGiantsfan89 you're a clown and always will be

[TheGiantsfan89]

@MrSouthphillyitalian leave the kid aloneeeee

[maxi1crawf]

@ImaPunk951 You enjoy it son, never mind what other people think or say (there are some miserable buggers out there) don't be one of them!

[bigcity233]

@ImaPunk951 Hang in there! When I was your age, I was the only kid who liked this kind of music in my school also - and that was in the late 60's and 70's. The important thing is to stick with what you like and continue to let yourself explore and experience different kinds of music. Don't worry what other kids think (I tell this to my kids who are just a couple of years older than you - my younger kid is 17). This was the pop music of your grandparents generation.

"Let me lick you up and down, till you say stop. I want to play with your body, baby, and make you real hot..."

[boneshudson]

This was the theme song on KDKA's morning radio show, "Cordek and Company" in the 1950s. Funniest and around best morning radio ever!

[willkc8088]

This is wonderful.

[mortygwhiz]

I remember going to my next door neighbor's back in the 1950's and learning this song from them as a child. My neighbor played bass fiddle in dance bands around Southern California back then. Thanks for the posting and the memories.

Hoagy Carmichael was one of the greatest.  My dad taught me some of his songs, and of course everyone knows Lazy Bones. We don't have song writers like him anymore, unfortunately.

[caleab27]

Believe it or not, Bob Dylan turned me on to Carmichael's music. Loved it ever since.

[alizarin89]

@caleab27 Same here. I heard Dylan play him on his radio show. Been hooked ever since.

Carmichael was a great songwriter...great musician...

[jllorigins]

@caleab27 in my case it was Jerry Lee Lewis, can you believe it?

[caleab27]

@jllorigins Ha! The first concert I went to was Jerry Lee Lewis with Fats Domino in 1987. I was 14 at the time, and Jerry Lee threw his piano bench across the stage in protest of being shorted a few minutes on his set. To say the least, he had fullfilled all my preconceived notions of the enigmatic entertainer.

[jllorigins]

@caleab27 Ha! Don't mess with the killer!

[dinnerpianist]

Was the intro played after the verse? Very tender delivery. Violinist seemed too anxious to show his chops and the lines weren't really appropriate for the lyrical message.

[royallaspice1]

Too right, they don't make them like this any more. Pity.

[Jcrobo5]

this was so beauitiful that it made me cry........

I wish music could be played on the radio atleast similar to this.

[a1nosweat]

This is Beautiful.

Thanks

[predlycon]

do you have his original 1927 recording of "star dust"? that'd be cool.

[odysseetheater]

so wonderful so wonderful.. right, such songs willnot be written today... so sadso sad...

[sjback]

When you hear the expression, "They don't write songs like THAT anymore," This is what they're talkin' about.

THANK YOU for the post!

[tarkaswain]

please does anyone have this album .. it reminds me of ehrn my dad took me too school . it was hoagy or terry wogan lol.. and i loved hoagy best !!!! janie xxxx

[asemenovsky]

GREAT!!!

[Yapostadodat]

Tom Waits that is. Sorry no e, forgive me Tom!

[Yapostadodat]

Tom Waites lists Hoagy Carmichael as one of his BIGGEST influences so that gives him some MAJOR street cred ;).

[NoCal72]

If I'm not mistaken, John Lennon also referenced Hoagy Carmichael as an important influence.

[shotgunwedding199]

thanks for the upload such a beautiful time for music

[eggbertsmith]

I love this song so much! This brings back such fond memories of when I was a teen living in Nottingham. My mother would always play this album whilst giving my grandfather his colonic. And now every time I hear this song, it takes me back to those sounds, sights, and smells. Ah....memories. Ah....colonics.

[78timothy]

Carmichael is the vocal. Backed by his Orch, w/Jack Teagarden on TB, w/Goodman on Clarinet, Venuti on Vln, all star Orchestra. Great record. Released by Victor in 1930.
