You'll Never Walk Alone (original) - Christine Johnson 1945 .wmv

[74DERMO]

the best song i ever heard- YNWA LFC - I LOVE YOU

[xxkewldudexx]

Is this commercially available? Like on CD or on iTunes? Heck, i'd even hunt up a cassette player if a tape was all I could find. Thanks in advance.

[waltervdbus]

@xxkewldudexx Yes, the original 1945 version of the play is on CD "Carousel" by Cast-original (MCA) since 1991.

a powerful device: the eternally damned "ghost" returning to see his loved one. a psychological tactic to reduce crime and suffering. i had to watch by Internet as a girl that i love was put in political jeopardy, offered heroin, homosexuality, sex with stars and media clients. i flew to her area and patrolled every studio, building, barracks, and street (& protected President Bush while he was there). i talked to thousands of people, ran for US Congress walking alone. ghost...still no one home.

[oscarsdotter]

Absolutely wonderful! But sung by the thousands at a football/socker field it's just as wonderful! Proves that the few really good songs can be sung anywhere by anyone and be just as enjoyable!

this song is on temple grandin which is a movie about a girl with autism and was born in the 1950's i'm guessing from the dates given in the movie.

[OfShadowandSubstance]

One of the few songs that can move me to tears.

[ShoshArt]

I will never walk alone

[JRobbySh]

[missgreeneyes56]

Don't worry, Gerry and the Pacemakers are there. We all in UK are wid you.

[72Yonatan]

Original cast album! Magnificent. Thank you, Walter. Is this a 78 recording?

[steph36uk]

@72Yonatan Yes this was originally a 78 recording, Carousel was first released as a series of 78 records in 1945, and released on Lp for the first time in 1949 when 331/3 came in, along with the other R& H musicals poriginally recorded on 78s 'Oklahoma!' & 'Allegro' South Pacific & Kiss Me Kate were the first shows to be recorded in 331/3 in 1948/49

YNWA

[thutch2008]

I never heard the original recording of it (the first time I heard it was Claramae Turner's version in the movie). What a beautiful contralto.

[JRobbySh]

@papermom. Wonderfully sung. 

[Alyrose97]

at the my old middle school's choir concerts, the 6th and 7th grade choirs would sing a goodbye song to the 8th grade choir. this past school year was my 8th grade year, and for our '8th grade song' the 6th and 7th graders sang this song. it was beautiful and really touching :)

[lincsposter]

Love this song, but I never realised it was originally song by a female artist! What a voice! RIP Christine!

[MusicianJuli76]

I really like this song.Thank-you for putting it on. I I'd heard someone else sing it before but after watching the movie it had the ablilty to make me cry. Wow..She was so good. :)

[rodbest2411]

Great

[conorkittler98]

the best song ever

[conorkittler98]

the original song

[SugarTomAppleRoger]

Great. This song has to be low pitched. It is not for some sobrette. It is about the older person advising the young.

[papermom]

Thank you for posting this. I had the honor of knowing this great lady for 45 years or so. She was loved by many who will miss her dearly, but we do have this song.....

[hiram242]

Thank you so much for posting this. I had the honor of posting her Find a Grave page. She remains the youngest lady to have sung Erda at the Met. A great artist...God rest her soul...

[lilyhogwart]

Rest in peace, Christine Johnson.
