Super ! 👍👍👍 Tres Belle Chanson !!! 👍👍👍

I was surprised that Boris had a pretty good voice. I really wish I could have seen him do it live, but this was years and years before I was even born! In fact this was five years before my parents were even born!

Taco sing make the better regravation Top 1❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Smooth------

The first recorded version of this timeless classic

The bad in every man - also a pretty good lyric -

Try given the Al Bowlly version a go

How dare he steal this from TACO

Fascinating Rhythm 🎵 🎶

Berlin (actually Израиль Моисеевич Бейлин) didn't write all that music, he was a businessesman, he used to buy thousands of songs of unknown authors all across the US for cheap and sell them. A few became hits

Thanks for posting this.I'm reading is biography Steps in Time.And he mentions that he made a quick appearance in this movie.

Best🙂

This is the first time I've heard this song in about 65 years and, for whatever reason, it made the hair on my arms stand on end. Boy, you KNEW when you were hearing a Phil Spector "wall of sound" song. He was an odd (and dangerous) man but he sure knew how to crank out the music.

This should say 1989 in the description, in bold.

Taco did this song justice in 1982…🌹

uper duper!

This song reminds me of my grandfather ♥️🥰♥️

You are great!!!!

She sounds so effortless. It’s absolutely enchanting. 🥺

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

That’s harry richman lol

Fascinating to see this put together. Had they made a film of the musical back then it could have been spectacular

Love trainnn Dirty deeds done dirty cheap DOJYAAAN

Still THE Definitive Rendition, Dawn Upshaw not withstanding. Immortal. 💞🙌🎭🎶👑🎶🎭🙌💞

Tempi meravigliosi ❤

I love Harry Richman! Very underrated today!

This was hot shit and it's day right on!

A striking feature of the lyric is its use of rhetorical figures - epistrophe, anaphora, symploce. Also, there’s something like a rhetorical figure in the fact that the first stanza and the last stanza begin with the same words (“There’s a place for us”) and end with the same word (“somewhere”).

This number is considered the first production number in a movie to be performed by an interracial cast.

Lord, how am I just finding out about a transposing piano???

Beautiful music in those times by Larry Clinton and Bea Wain. Noone since those days can compare. Clinton seemed to have been blessed by God with understanding music and hiring Bea Wain. That's why she lived to be 100 years old. If one doesn't understand that then I feel for you.

I actually found this to be a very emotional video and quite a tear jerker. There is no denying the incredible power that Bernstein possessed.

This is not the original version. It is the #2 version of the melody. Version #1 was called "Prayer (Oh Lord, make me a movie star)" with Jean Harlow from the movie "Hollywood Party". The song was filmed, recorded and patented but dropped from the movie just before releasing.

Still great music

Boy so I remember this song I was a preteen

Broadway dancing has come a long way 😮

one of the better versions

All these people are dirt now.

puuutttinonyareeeetz

this version is epic

The singer, Shirley Ross, is made to look and sound black here, but she was white.

Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers really created magic on the screen.

Istanbul not constantanople

No one does this like Judy does it!

My only wish really is to hear Mitzi Green sing this - sadly I was born seventy years too late.

My goodness. This is an education to me! There is so much we do not know about others. What determination the man had. Very interesting!

It's good to know how it was supposed to sound. Doesn't mean it has to sound this way in every future production. If any. Thing is, there have been so many great renditions recorded since then. This is lovely, but a bit prim, proper--stiff. Of course it is. It's 1937. There's no microphones. An actual teenaged actess is singing this, about a teenaged boy she just met (played by a guy in his 20's). The song was considered so controversial for these reasons, that when a movie was made, with Judy Garland and Mickey Rooney--this song was left out! Most of the songs were. They used "Where or When" but as a sort of collective schmoopy platonic ballad, for all the kids to sing. It does NOT work. The entire movie. A complete and total failure. I think future productions should be informed by all we've learned in the last 90 years or so about the full emotional potential of these songs. From Jazz vocalists like Anita O'Day, but also theatrically trained sopranos like Barbara Cook. We can acknowledge teens have sexual feelings, as well as romantic ones. The innocence and naivete can still be there, but Billie has already seen a whole lot in her life, roaming Depression-Era America, and finally finding somebody she can't just walk away from. There should be a sense of desperation to it. Because he just walked away from her in a huff, believing she's sold out. But she's saying here, "Yeah, he's an idealistic doofus who hasn't a clue how badly he's screwing up- here-but I wouldn't have him any other way." It's an emotional epiphany, and needs to be played as one. Leave the schmoop out--deep deep feeling is needed. Or the song isn't what Larry Hart wrote it to be. No matter how it was orchestrated then.

Thx u LA LA Brook!

Ed, constantly excellent!
