What a lovely rendition of this song ! I have another one, also by Rosemary Clooney but a bit older, it seems.

[Rossbach2]

amishparadise428 - Thank you so much for posting this fine recording. Do you know when it was recorded? I am guessing some time in the 1970s.

[Kae654]

@Rossbach2 This was recorded in 1954!

Wonderful old Irving Berlin song....

[1mommas]

She phrased so beautifully.

Miss her.

[windstorm1000]

@1mommas Rosemary was the female Sinatra--her phrasing was impeccable.

[windstorm1000]

I think Rosemary is the best female singer of the 20th century--such warmth to her voice, the phrasing--she's got it all. My partner adores her.

[Rossbach2]

@windstorm1000 - Agreed. Rosemary Clooney was probably the most underrated female vocalist of her generation. What have we today that could compare with such a fine vocal stylist as she?

Timeless

[htarceno]

every time I hear this song, I remember Christmases from my childhood. My parents both loved the movie, and my mother would sing this song to us as a lullaby. I still remember it like yesterday, tho she's been gone 4 years ago this month. Some things last last forever

[amishparadise428]

That was beautiful man....

[htarceno]

Thanks. there's more to the story - Sometimes whle rocking the baby to sleep, my brother & sister would sneak into the kitchen to raid the fridge. Without missing a beat, Mom would substitute the words "when you're worried & you can't sleep..." with "Paul & Shirley, time for bed. Get out the kitchen & turn off the light"

*sigh*

[amishparadise428]

Aah, nostalgia. :)

[htarceno]

i still listen to this when I have trouble getting to sleep, like tonight. Some things never change

[edwardjames50]

@htarceno ~ Sweet.

[catmama54]

Mee too.What a sweet and smoothe voice that I find very calming.I love all her songs and this one really is heart warming.

[tommyboy6494]

Rosie at her very best... RIP Sweet One!!!

[amishparadise428]

I don't care how 'out-of-season' it is. It's never a bad time for Rosemary Clooney.

[sunshineONme3]

I agree. ☺
