MY REVERIE - Vocal with Orchestra
Melody based on Claude Debussy's "Reverie"
(Larry Clinton)
Bing Crosby
with Bob Crosby and his Orchestra
Decca 2123-A, 1938.
(recorded October 14, 1938)

I don't know who in my family was the Bing Crosby fan, but there are a lot of his records that have been passed down! "My Reverie" is one that I particularly like and want to share. I am intrigued by popular songs based on classical compositions, and I already knew and loved Debussy's "Reverie" before listening to "My Reverie" for the first time.

"Our love is a dream in my reverie.
I can see that this love was meant for me.
Only a poor fool,
Never schooled in the whirlpool
Of romance, could be so cruel,
As you are to me!
My dreams are as worthless as tin to me.
Without you, life would never begin to be
So, love me,
As I love you, in my reverie!
Make my dream a reality.
Let's dispense with formality.
Come to me — in my reverie!"

    Thanks! I'm pleased!

  • How charming. You might get a kick out of this, I actually had the honor of singing/performing with Bing Crosby on one of his annual Christmas Specials ( 75) and Fred Astaire was also a guest star. Mr. Crosby was warm and friendly and very playful.. Our first rehearsal with him was in an old building ....as he entered the room he introduced himself.! Hello, how are you? My name is Bing Crosby.. are you ready to sing?.. and we all gathered around a piano as we rehearsed WHITE CHRISTMAS!

  • @karmakomodia Barbara, Thank you for the great story! Imagine! You were there with TWO American legends!

  • @abendstunde49 Indeed, Most people don't even recall who they were at this point. The most magical moment of my life was when "Gene Kelly" came back stage to meet me..I was performing at the Hollywood Palladium with Paul Williams , Johnny Carson, Florence Henderson, Bob Newhart, etc, The stars of yesterday were the audience. It was a benefit concert and I was just one of many performers.. STUNNED when the great  Gene Kelly came to chat with me.. Time stood still. It was like meetig ROYALTY.
