Jerry Lewis "Dormi, Dormi, Dormi"

Music: Harry Warren
Lyrics: Sammy Cahn
Vocals: Jerry Lewis
Orchestra director: Walter Scharf

This is a gorgeous lullaby beautifully crooned by Jerry Lewis. This sweet tune originally appeared as a duet in Jerry's film "Rock a Bye Baby" but this particular recording was made at a later date and released on a 45 record as a single.

My intent in uploading this video was to share this lovely song with you, but I figured I might as well add some pictures, too! :) Since it's a lullaby, I thought I'd start with pictures of Jerry with babies and his family. I filled in the middle with some of my favorite pictures of just Jerry himself, then finished with my favorite Jerry/baby pictures!

I hope you enjoy this song! It makes me fall in love with Jerry all over again every time I hear it. :)

Thank you so much for posting this video! Rock a Bye Baby is one of my all time favorite Jerry Lewis movies! This song is heartbreakingly beautiful! Thanks again!

I have been told by a very reliable source close to Mr. Lewis, that during that period when his daughter was young her feet rarely touched the ground because he was always holding her. In the picture it is clear they both felt comfortable.

I always loved to hear Jerry sing this song...Thinking back on his career, he was so very young.... my G-d how time flies.
