Gene Austin was a popular screen, radio & recording artist during the mid 1920's into the 1930's. He was known as "the voice of the south land" and a pioneer in the "crooning" style of singing. A jazz artist at heart, he was equally at home singing country ballads, blues and spirituals. His improvisational style apparent in his recordings, added a unique flavor to his interpretations.

  • My parents grew up at the turn of the century (20th). This was their music. They had records of those songs.

    When I was 3-5 during the Second World War my mother would put me down for a nap in the afternoons (for a little break, I'm sure). She would put the radio on low and I would listen to the songs that she and my father had. I especially

    enjoyed this song and Vera Lynn.

  • i love this song! beautiful

  • 82 yrs old song. still very cool today

  • @easternmind That's truly incredible. His record of "My Blue Heaven" was the biggest-selling single record for a great many years. So sad that people have interest in perspective.

  • Brilliant! I've grown into the biggest Gene Austin fan over the past year, such an amazing artist! Haven't found one person though other than my mom who knows of him...

  • I grew up with this music. I'm so glad it's still available for listening.

  • fantastic. beautiful . a golden era, love it

  • I love the movie 'PITTSBURG'. Though not this version, this was the theme song, certainly a beautiful, beautiful song.

  • Wow. I love great songs, This a GREAT song. (I also love Diana Krall's renddition)

  • The most beautiful recording of Garden In The Rain is this 1929 version. Not only his singing, but the background music is gorgeous. WOW!!! Along with Tonight you belong to Me, Girl of My Dreams, Ramona, & When Your Lover Has Gone all absolutely beautiful recordings with Gene Austin. Thank you. Tommy
