Surely one of the most memorable songs made in the 1930's. Music by Kurt Weill, lyrics by Maxwell Anderson.

Are you sure this isn't Rudy Vallee?

Absolutely. And sorry, but I don't see much resemblance in Vallee's and Huston's voice.

THANKS for posting this delightful "blast from the past"! Walter Huston was one of the finest actors of his time, be it stage, radio or movies. I can't sing his praises enough. He certainly did make this song his own when he sang it in the original Broadway production of "Knickerbocker Holiday". You've made my day & my weekend! I hope you have a VERY happy holiday season! :)

I've heard many fine singers perform this piece. Yet Huston's "September Song" remains the most moving. Though not truly a singer, this fine actor nailed the essence of the song. Huston's version is the only one that always brings tears to my eyes:) --

Thanks, tmmvds,
You settled a discussion which began in Madison, WI last Aug. Dare I say, I was wrong. Houston as any great actor nailed the essence of the song. He is even better than Jimmy Durante.

The beginning of the song is missing, so it makes less sense in this form. It actually starts "When I was a young man courting the girls..." It was written for Walter Huston's voice and it featured in the film September Affair - a May/September romance between characters played by Joan Fontaine and Joseph Cotten - who was in fact only 12 years older.

I fully agree with Sender Yancey. Huston mightn't have been the greatest singer but he certainly captured the essence of ''September Song''. Nicomachean

Tonight in a wonderful uncredited tribute, Walter Huston's granddaughter Anjelica Huston sang SEPTEMBER SONG on the television series SMASH. Knowing the connection, it was very moving indeed.
