I can't get enough of hearing Joni sing - I had just been dischargeg from the Navy a year earlier (57). What memories - thank you for sharing.

[TheLimePopsicle]

@4george2 You're welcome!

Another good one, it reached higher than 'There must be a way 'anyhow..

Yes, this recording provided Joni with a top 40 comeback. It was the first of her records with this new orchestral sound with a beat. Her following singles used the same formula and a great one it was.

I remember my mom playing this song almost weekly, she really liked it, I didn't understand then, except I liked the piano in the background as was the norm for most all music then. Now as an adult the song is wonderful.

One of the best versions of this lovely son ever recorded. Love you Joni.

@TheLimePopsicle In many respects Joni was slightly ahead of the trend in pop music in the late 50's and 1960's, certainly among pop vocalists of taking soft ballads and applying a strong back beat percussion sound with orchestral strings and pronounced chorus backing. Dean Martin applied this formula with great success in the 60's and was followed by others such as Jerry Vale, Al Martino etc... They are all missed !!

@Xtubelis "Why don't you believe me" sold 2 mil copies in 1952. Why don't you tell these folks who paid for the recording.studio, staff, etc....it must have been those marketing dollars....huh? Well since you obviously know very little about Joni, I will tell you who bankrolled the first recording...it was Joni herself.

In your zeal to promote one of your favorites, it is not necessary to tear down other artists and most certainly not one who has such an astoundingly clear, perfect pitch voice.

Another example of Joni coming up with her own hits. She thought of putting this standard to a rock beat while waiting to be served in a New York deli before she and her husband Tony set off to visit his parents. She did want to enter the rockaballad field, as it was called then, but she also wanted to be doing a quality song, some some passing fancy. There were just a few takes, and the ones not used were as good as the released version.

"Tonight we love" was one of the best from Joni James, but too bad it's not here.

[mjwiem]

Joni's is one of the first voices I remember hearing. Always a fave.

Memories of my youth and the songs that my lost love like to sing herself. Thanks for the wonderful memories you brought back into my aching heart.
