Great Depression Music: I'm Through With Love, 1931

Donald Voorhees (1903, Allentown, Pennsylvania--1989, New Jersey) was an American composer and conductor. From 1935 to 1941, and from 1949 to 1953 Voorhees was the musical director and conductor for the radio and television show, Cavalcade of America. Voorhees also served as conductor of the Bell Telephone Hour orchestra for 26 years, from its first broadcasts on radio in 1942 until its final television episode in 1968. He was also the first conductor of the Allentown Symphony Orchestra.

„I'm Through With Love" was a hit song of 1931, made immortal by Marilyn Monroe's interpretation in Billy Wilder's comedy „Some Like It Hot" (1959). The couple of views in my clip show the historical Coronado Hotel, San Diego, where the movie was made.

[cubanbach]

sorry but Marilyn Monroe really ruins still for me...(i love her but not here, please...)

[cubanbach]

@andreidinax ok....I guess that's ONE excuse to continue to overexpose Marilyn...although her image will forever be connected to the very late 40s, 50s and early 60s at most. Just my two-cents.

@cubanbach

she made this song famous or more famous than it was when she sang it in the movie Some like it hot. probably the one who uploaded this is a Marilyn fan or heard it for the first time in that movie either way there is some corelation between the pictures and the song 

[Mr99BOXER]

maybe they want to see Jean Harlow who would be a movie star of this era. A fine song though, don't listen to the complaints.

[cubanbach]

@tissetatten "Chacun a son gout...." In other words, it's just my opinion, you have another one. That's fine.

[tissetatten]

@cubanbach do you or do you not know she sang this song in a movie? and its way better then this version. And marilyn is gorgeous to look at so i dont know why your saying " get this marilyn monroe stuff outta here".. Would you rather see some strapping young men on the video instead?

[cubanbach]

[tissetatten]

Great song...one of my favourties! Thank you very much for posting!

A great old tune and a nice arrangement, and the Marilyn photos were much appreciated. A terribly tragic life for the most part, used and abused by many, sadly.

I hit the teen aged years when she was very popular, and was the subject of many adolescent fantasies. Sigh.

Thanks for this.
