Big Fies Big Band Feat. Charlotte Fich at Egmont Højskolen June 5th, Celebrating Constitution Day.
Playing: Almost Like Being in Love
This Song first saw the light of day in 1947
The song was made popular by David Brooks and Marion Bell in the musical Brigadoon. It was later performed in the 1954 film version by Gene Kelly.
The song was revived in a downbeat ballad version by singer Michael Johnson (#32, 1978). It was also made popular by British singing sensation Dame Shirley Bassey. Nat King Cole recorded more than one version of the song. Other singers who have recorded "Almost Like Being in Love" include Ella Fitzgerald, Dean Martin, Judy Garland and Frank Sinatra. A later version by Nat King Cole was used as the closing song in the 1993 movie Groundhog Day which starred Bill Murray.
In 1961, Judy Garland performed the song as a medley with "This Can't Be Love" at the "Judy at Carnegie Hall" concert.
