Vintage Mildred Bailey & Lee Wiley songs for Queen Mary tour

I LOVE Mildred Bailey and Lee Wiley. I also LOVE the Queen Mary, so I decided to join them all together. I remixed the songs a bit to add some echo, which matches the vintage echoing music heard in the lobby of the Queen Mary. The pictures are take from a couple of my trips to the Queen Mary. Enjoy!

Thanks for posting this incredible video! What was the software you used?

@GipnoUcpix1 Glad you enjoyed. We just decided tonight to go back to the Queen Mary in October so I'm VERY excited!!! The video is standard free Windows 7 "Windows Live Movie Maker". For the audio, I used Cubase, which is INCREDIBLE software. I've only just touched the beginning of what it can do. I wish I had more time to experiment. For free software, Audacity is pretty awesome, but doesn't achieve this nice echo sound and all the other effects. Cheers!!!

What a great presentation! Thank you for uploading this nice video. I didn't know anything about Mildred Bailey and Lee Wiley...sorry..but I am a big RMS Queen Mary Fan. Love the music very much! A big compliment to the photos you took on the Queen Mary. Just amazing, some photos are world class!!! I know how much time it needs to produce such a master piece. It's much more than just putting photos together. Wonderful combination of your favourite songs and the pics.

@akosilolo Thank you so much for the nice compliment. So glad you enjoyed the pictures. Like you, I LOVE the Queen Mary. I'd rather be there than just about anywhere. As for Mildred and Lee, they are, unfortunately, virtually forgotten so you're in good company for not having heard of them, but they are two of the best. Mildred actually helped Bing Crosby get started in show business as they were both from Spokane, and her brother was his vaudeville partner. Later he helped her. Thanks!

Stupendous job - a labour of love!

I didn't know about about Lee Wiley until she was mentioned in a biography of Patricia Highsmith as having had a song called 'A ship Without a Sail'.

Best Wishes!

@AmayaPapaya40 Actually yes. I went back to the Queen Mary recently, and got some good video footage. Updated video at......well apparently YouTube won't let me embed a URL, so look for "Queen Mary Vintage Parlor".

Enjoy!

is there any more songs off the queen mary?

[stevers62]

Thanks! ...and I'm so excited. I just found a Bing Crosby/Mildred Bailey radio show last night. I've been collecting them both for about 20 years, and this is the first time I've heard a duet. Sooo cool! Thanks again.
