my father died today. This was his favorite song.

[Heenaynee]

I'm so sorry to hear of your Dad's passing. This is a beautiful song!

[melseco]

thanx for paying your respects. he loved this song and also night and day by cole porter and beethoven's moonlight sonata. (he played the latter one) We were surprised because he was strong til the end. Remember how we had been planning his 90th birthday? And not an ounce of senility either. He was very lucid-minded. He was a fantastic guy. Well, he was my dad.

[Heenaynee]

He sounds like a fantastic person! He is busy in Heaven and watching you listen to the music he enjoyed so much. He must've been so proud of you.

Bless your heart!

[melseco]

thank-you. it was all very sudden. I'm still in a bit of denial. But, my dad was in a lot of pain the past 8 yrs; so it was for the best. Nobody wants to see their father in pain.

[Heenaynee]

I agree. We never want to see our parents in pain. I lost my Dad in 2004 and it's still like yesterday.

Thanks for posting this. I'm a big fan of Bobby, too. I've even bought a few items of memorabilia from eBay. Hope he sees himself on YouTube so he knows he still has fans! My first exposure to him was his wonderful recording of "Let's Sing Again".

I'd never heard of this guy--except for his Motown 45 Better Late Than Never--which is a nice Nortehrn Soul floater!!--I had no he was a child star in the 30s!!

My mum and dad use to sing this song to me and my brother...i think as a lullaby. Mum started singing it to my daughter the other day and it brought back memories!! I actually thought my parents made it up!

[pkneeno]

Excellent post. I can see why it has so many plays. Great slide show. thanks.

learnt this on piano,lovely sound and words

[CarlDuke]

I heard a recording of Eddie Fisher from a concert singing a song in tribute to Eddie Cantor and at one point he hit a very high note. He paused for a moment and said, I guess tonight I sound more like Bobby Breen.

[LittleLassieK9]

Beautiful song, voice, and lyrics!

[donnaoday]

My mother always liked him, but this is the first time I've heard him. Nice.  Thanks for posting.
