http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0035157/ - Singing is Ray Eberle and Lynn Bari. I wonder just how Ray Eberle felt about sharing his song with this dame!

  • Not wishing to disagree with anything already posted, I raise the question whether the trumpet solo was by Johnny Best. Stylistically, it's a dead ringer for Bobby Hackett's work and which is well known from the Jackie Gleason recordings. Hackett once worked with the Miller band, but when? Could one have been learning from the style of the other?

  • @IBScaramouche Got my info from imdb... sure it's a possibility that there is an error.

  • Who is the handsome blackhaired guy playing the trumpet? :)

  • @NaughtyBastardIsh PS... he's not really playing that trumpet! George Montgomery's trumpet playing was performed by Miller band member Johnny Best.

  • @MostCamperKills Musical styles/fads change...

  • For most of this scene Ray Eberle must have been standing on a box, he's noticeably taller than the 5'7" Lynn Bari...but at the long shot starting about 4:45 you can see they're really about the same height. No matter, Ray was very handsome and what a voice! This is my favorite version of this classic song. 

  • Yes, let's all please recognize, for the record, that the woman's voice singing "At Last" in this clip is really that of Pat Friday (Helen Patricia Freiday). She helped Ms. Bari learn to lip-synch it, and apparently, Lynn was quite gracious about the whole thing, but Pat still deserves recognition as the first woman who sang this song that ended up being made even more widely known by Etta James in the 60's (RIP, Etta -- who died today, 1/20/12 -- aptly, on a Friday. ;-) Tks to all 3 ladies!

  • @waltandrus OMG... SOMETHING FAKE IN HOLLYWOOD?

  • @waltandrus Thanks, but i kinda got the idea he wasnt playing either. especially since none of them were playing when the scene was shot. just faking it for the playback track.

  • @peetie25 Gleason was NOT playing Bass, Just faking it. Jackie didn't play an instrument. He DID produce some wonderful studio recordings!
