I Believe: JANE FROMAN

Jane Froman is one of the music world's treasures! She is well remembered from the filmization of her life story, "With A Song in My Heart," where her voice was used on the soundtrack as Susan Hayward recreated her life story. Courageous, brave and with a warm voice that could melt the soul, MS Froman is featured here singing one of her hit recordings, "I Believe."

Jane Froman was one of the most beautiful woman of the past century. I personally knew her. She was my friend and I called her Aunt Jane. I was also president of her Fan Club. She had the most glorious voice in the world. Happy Birthday Jane. Joan D. The Villages Fl.

This song was written for Jane Froman, at her request, by the writers on her television show. She introduced it in November of 1952 [we don't have film of that performance], and it became the first hit song introduced on television. Successfully recorded since by MANY people--- but there was only one Jane Froman.

This is the first time I have seen her likeness, having grown up with her recordings. She was so beautiful! Something of Vivienne Leigh's ethereal quality - and that huge dark voice! I'll bet she would have been brilliant at opera, too, had she chosen to go in that direction. I'm a singer and singing teacher, and her natural ability and her technique are superb.

With teats rolling down my cheeks I thank you for uploading this. Somewhere along the way My Mom's old records disappeared.  But I do Have her Movie with Susan Hayward. She sings with so much emotion. Thank you again!

My uncle owned a Jane Froman extended play which was a present from my father in 1952. They were both fans. I started listening to the record in the eighties and fell in love with her beautiful dramatic voice.

I have just discovered her by watching A Song in my Heart. What a fabulous voice and lady. She is already one of my idols. If only more would discover this great treasure!

Jane Froman's weekly 15 minute Thursday night "interlude" was cancelled in June 1955 because CBS was clearing away its 7:30-8pm(et) time period of back-to-back quarter-hour news [Douglas Edwards] and music [Perry Como, Jo Stafford, Jane] programs, following ABC's lead in scheduling half-hour entertainment programming at 7:30 for the fall [mostly action/adventure series like "THE ADVENTURES OF ROBIN HOOD" and "SGT. PRESTON OF THE YUKON"]. There was just no room for Jane in prime-time any more...

Esta canción es linda, como linda era la jovencita a quien la oí cantar allá por los años cincuentas. Simplemente inolvidable.

I haven't watched this for quite a while. I still find it unforgettable, a classic to be preserved - in memory, and through all the electronic/technological devices available today. This song, as sung by the incomparable Jane Froman, warrants a place in our collective memory- for great music, as well as for appreciation of this courageous humanitarian.

The song was a sensation. Mitch Miller quickly had Frankie Laine cover it for Columbia and then many other covers followed. One of the greatest recordings was by Joni James for her inspirational album "Give Us This Day" released in 1957. People were shocked when Jane Froman's T.V. show went off. It was such a tough time for her professionally and personally, though you'd never know from this magnificent performance. She was always a champion.

A great voice from a great lady. Who is still sadly missed from her loyal fans.
