A bit more on Jo Stafford. She was part of the Pied Pipers in the early '40s, the vocalists with Tommy Dorsey's orchestra who backed Sinatra on many of his early hits. Her voice clearly stands out on those recordings. She also was on the gorund floor when Johnny Mercer founded Capitol records. When she went solo after the War, her arranger was Paul Weston, whose orchestra backed her many hits in the early '50s. They married and stayed together til he passed in 1996. She was truly great!

@philotimos923 -- Yes, that was a very classy response! I just looked her up on IMDB.com before I read your comment, and there I learned Jo Stafford passed in 2008. So sad to find that great talent has passed, so thank goodness for YouTube!

I agree fully. The standard of musicianship and singing from that era was quite brilliant, and
Jo Stafford's performance here exemplifies this. Thanks for posting.

This was all over the radio in the summer of 1952. It sold over 2 million copies and was the #1 song for the entire year. Jo Stafford had perfect pitch and a most unusual voice. She retired from show business in 1969 and passed away in July 2008. I got her home address in 1998 and wrote her a fan letter about hearing her songs while growing up in Newark NJ. She sent back a signed 8 X 10 along with a handwritten note. Real classy lady! My favorite from that era.

This is the first time I ever heard her sing this...right now. It's amazing! Why don't we hear much about her? I've only heard her name a few times in my life. That's a tragedy.
