Deanna Durbin - Goin' Home

The studio version of Goin' Home, from the movie "It Started with Eve". (Those of you "in the know" will recognize the melody as the second movement of Dvorak's "New World Symphony".)

Her voice always gives me the chills. As a contemporary of Judy Garland what a pleasure to have 2 great voices at the same time.

A big thank-you. Any performance from our precious Deanna is always appreciated!

@Chrisiant Indeed the song has brought tears to many eyes. Another moving rendition of it occurred in April, 1945, in Warm Springs, Georgia, when President Roosevelt had died, and Graham Jackson played the music on his accordion and sang the words.

@violinthief You mean operatic singer !

[Chrisiant]

A crystal voice, and a song that always brings me to tears. May God bless you, Miss Durbin.

@mrsmagloo I already choose Paul Robeson's version of Goin' Home during my memorial service, but I agree that Deanna Durbin's rendition of this song is beautiful as well.

does anyone know wher i can get this version from, my nan really wants it.

[sisselfan]

This was beautiful. My favourites are Sissel and Deanna Durbin.

I don't know whos version I like more. Her version or Chloe Agnews version. her version is more operetic while Chloe's is more innocent

[mrsmagloo]

One of the very few pieces I can still play on the piano. I want this sung at my memorial service. Check out the Jane Froman version. This song always brings me to my news and into a pool of tears.

violinthief- Bravo for you. The Met begged for her services when she was but a young teen,but that was not what she wanted. As for her voice-it was up there with the very best.
