From the movie, "I Dream Too Much", with Henry Fonda. See details: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0690507/ Sorry, the repeat is cut because I ran out of tape when recording off the TV.

  • I'll try to post full version of this. It's my favorite.

  • If you can get the full version up, I'll take this one off.  It's a very good print, if you can get the same.

  • Thanks for posting I haven't heard this recording for almost forty years. It sounds almost perdect, I had forgotten what a wonderful voice miss pons had. Again thank you.

  • Lily was one of the most talented and powerful coloraturas of all time. Her long career with the Met and lots of other performance endeared her to all of us. Rest in peace, angel.

    Long live Lily Pons!

  • What a nightingale!

  • She is still the best!!!!

  • Voilà du chant !!!

    Merci pour le post .

  • Wow! Her belly button!!! Woo-hoo!!!

  • Absolutely breathtaking!!!1

  • Bravisimma a la cantaressa Lily Pons con il voce di angeli di oro. RIP - Awake to the Glory of the Lord and sing for Him in all His Glory now!!!

  • One of her many trademarks. She was, from a very young age, truly a living legend. She knew how to live like a star, ultra-glamorous, exotic but never aloof or cold. She was warm, witty and could be both funny and saucy. She had the voice, she had the face, she had the body as a child Beverly SIlls pointed out to her mother, she had the belly button!

  • Di ritorno dalla perdita di memoria! Io amo Lily Pons!

  • The impressarios today should learn to listen to the sound of a female voice rather

    than force sopranos to bellow with hooty "generic" tones which is totally against nature.

  • She sounds like this song was written just for her. I have heard it sang by others, but decidedly not like this.  What a voice!
