Deanna Durbin - Spring in my Heart - Johann Strauss

Deanna Durbin at age 17. From the movie "First Love". Durbin, in a movie adaptation of Cinderella, charms all at the ball by singing a song based on the waltzes of Johann Strauss, Jr. The beguiled young prince is Robert Stack in his first film role.

Why didn't they leave this in the original GERMAN!!!! The English language ruins this!

Otherwise a beautiful combination.

Joeocho,

There never were German words. This is an original song, from the movie, written specifically for Durbin. Ralph Freed took themes from some Strauss walzes, tied them together, then added English words to them.

Makes me feel strange...

How could we get to some much beauty, harmony, joy and purity to where we are today in less than 100 years?

she is one of the greates star

Deanna Durbin always said she disliked the movies she made. I wish she could have realized the blessings and the uplifting joys her wonderful voice, beauty, and talent brought to so many--especially in such trying and suffering years of war.

It is impossible to be sad when listening to this beautiful and wonderfully talented and remarkable and heavenly sounding lady.

@freespiritQC I 'll tell how we went from a land of beauty and grace to one of despair , we threw God and the ten Commandments out of the schools and the courthouses not to mention our everyday lives , Now we have to except Gods Judgement's against us , we'll learn , those of us that will be left that is

The man she sings to is a young Robert Stack, who later became the host of TV's "Unsolved Mysteries."

I appreciate you posting this song of hers. I printed it out and taped it to my bathroom wall by the bath tub and I sing it in the bath tub. It's a lovely song. She brings to life many of the songs she sings. You look on u tube and she does all of the the best.

Roberts smile so beautiful. I had a crush on him so bad when I was 10 LOL and Deanna well I always wanted to sing like her. Too bad romance is dead in America today :(

I discovered Deanna Durbin recently in a seniors course I took titled "Hollywood Sopranos'. I had just barely remembered her as a youngster and I just fell in love with her all over again - and still am. God bless Deanna Durbin as she approaches her 89th birthday. The Canadian - Hollywood songbird who retired much too soon.
