Victor 1920. I know there is already a video of this, but the quality isn't too good and the audio has somebody talking in the background. requests!

Wonderful ! Here are the words to sing along with.

Whispering while you cuddle near me,

Whispering so no one can hear me,

Each little whisper seems to cheer me,

I know its true there's no one dear but you.

Whispering why you'll never leave me,

Whispering why you'll never grieve me,

Whisper and say that you believe me,

Whispering that I love you.

Thanks for sharing.

What's sad is that music of this era...post 'ragtime" and before "swing" gets very little acknowledgement. I'm sure most of the master recordings are long lost, but this style deserves it's due.

Somebody talking in the background?

Reminds me of a very early cylinder recording of "Cujus Animus"(1890) where the opening announcer clears his throat before giving the title and after he's done, he mutters something to the band.

Good song - classic 20s. Even so, Al Bowlly's vocal of the same song is the ne plus ultra of this piece.

I'm 80 y. old. I feel that popular music start dying during WW2 , except in Brazil. Good job bingcrosby1903 .

@1181slipknot: I would much rather be a nerd listening to this song than be a douchebag writing moronic comments.

A great band leader! Even had his own TV show back in the 1950's. Is it just me or does Mr. Whiteman resemble Oliver Hardy: just a bit??? I could see him with a bowler hat and twiddling his tie. And Fred Astaire always reminds me of Stan Laurel, especially when he has on a bowler.
