So Many artists recorded this song and almost all of them did very well. The Harmonicats and the Three Suns equalled Buddy's version by also reaching Number one. Art Lund and Ted Weems also had popular versions. The tune was actually first recorded in 1913.

Buddy Clark died in an airplane crash in 1949. He was only 37 and at the top of his game. Most people had him tabbed for superstardom. The crash (which happened on an LA street) killed only Buddy. All his friends survived.

  • @Bossmanrocks That's beautiful. He's my grandfather. And his voice makes me happy too. :)

  • Linda melodia,bela interpretação!Beautiful music .Great perfomace!

  • He sounds like a mixture of Bing Crosby and young Frank Sinatra! :D

  • I thought it would be sweet to sing this song to my wife. When I finished she asked, "Who's Peg?"

  • I have the book. It was made into play as well...This is lovely....My mom and dad used to sing this to me...Sweet memories. Thanks!

  • More than any record he made during his all too short career, you can hear how influenced Buddy was by Bing Crosby his approach to a note, chesty to mouth intonation and especially his improvisations. It was a studiously relaxed style. His choice of material was also very similar to the kinds of easy going, skimming-over-life songs that Bing built his career on. At this time it was almost impossible for singers to escape the powerful Sinatra sound and the darker material Frank preferred. .

  • Oh how my mother loved him. I put all his songs on an ipod for her which she listened to all the time. I'm so happy his voice made her so happy in her final days.

  • Greatest male singer of the era, bar NONE

  • Great tribute.

    This song was written by Fred Fischer, a cousin on my mother's side of the family.

    Fred also wrote Come Josephine in my Flying Machine. Featured in the movie Titanic after the sinking of the ship.

  • Nobody was better or sweeter than Buddy on this song and many others!
