Lovely romantic song from 1947 by singer/pianist Hadda Brooks.
The guitarist on this recording is Teddy Bunn, a superb guitar player who was playing Rock and Roll in the 1930's. Check out more of his recordings at this website http://www.classicjazzguitar.com/albums/artists_albums.jsp?artist=67
Best wishes

Thank you so much for this! Just beautiful.
-
Wonderful! If anyone has 'Humoresque boogie' by Hadda, would they please post it - Thank you. I have it on a 78, but I don't know how to post.

Can it be more romantic?...

I can't believe that there's so few postings of Hadda on YT. Her longest film appearance was in the 1947 "Out of the Bue," in which she sang the title song, in a scene in a piano bar with Ann Dvorak.
-
The movie is the 1950 "In a Lonely Place," with Bogart and Gloria Grahame.

Hadda Brooks was trained as a classical pianist. I have a copy of the film 'In a Lonely Place' in which she sings 'I had'nt anyone till you'. I consider her the female Nat King Cole. She died in 2002. I would love to see copies of her old T.V show.

movie was called "In a Lonely Place"

She was the first black woman to host her own TV show

Fairymike, thanks for your input.
According to the insert notes with the CD Blue & Boogie: The Empress Of The Torch Blues OCM CD 026., the musicians at this recording session were
Tracks #1-9:
Hadda Brooks (p); Jimmy Black (as); Teddy Bunn (g); Elmer "Basie" Day (b); Al "Cake" Wichard (d).
Los Angeles, 1945-1947.
Nevertheless, this is beautiful music. I hope you enjoy it. I much prefer Hadda Brooks in her ballad mode.
Best wishes
