"Speak Low" (1943) is a popular song composed by Kurt Weill, with lyrics by Ogden Nash. It was introduced by Mary Martin and Kenny Baker in the Broadway musical One Touch of Venus (1943). The 1944 hit single was by Guy Lombardo and his orchestra, with vocal by Billy Leach. The tune is a jazz standard that has been widely recorded. The opening line is a (slight mis)quotation from William Shakespeare's Much Ado About Nothing (1600), where it is spoken by Don Pedro.

  • She has such a beautiful voice, wish I could've been around in this time, to be there in person when she sung her songs, beautiful !!!

  • This is my favorite by Sarah. The arrangement along with her voice is moving.

  • @gearsa3 Streisand's false melodrama and sickening Muzak arrangement is not even good, particularly when compared to Billie Holiday, Sarah Vaughan, or Jo Stafford. You need to keep that kind of mawkish, fawning sentiment on the Streisand videos where the jejune refuse to listen with discernment.

  • love this version! i have it on my ipod! :)))

  • One of my favorites by the Magnificent Sarah...thank you so much for posting.

  • This was not one of her best,but she was great,listen to Barbra Streisand do this song,her version is one of the best,along with Frank Sinatra back in 1944.

  • wow what a voice ,great song  brings tears to my eyes
