My belated Grandpa loves this song. I used to play this song on organ during my childhood. Grandpa passed away in 1989, when all his 4 grandchilds away from home pursuing university degree in the USA, while he was in our homeland... Indonesia. He passed away only a few days after my arrival in the US. It was one of the saddest moment. But I trully believe that he is already happy along with my grandma, my mom and dad in heaven. Till we meet again.. ❤
Crosby at his best. The golden baritone voice that lifted the country's hearts during the Great Depression, and inspired its spirits during World War II. One of the masters of Twentieth Century popular music.
I came here because I saw the sign on the road coming back home in Florida and I was curious about the meaning of that. Wonderful song and performance. I love vintage films like this one 😌🎶❤️.
Bing could sing anything.He had a way of conveying emotion through a song life no other before our after him! When he sang you could tell he meant it. So much Talent
Wonderful. I have this whole film on DVD and the Bing Crosby songs are a delight to listen to. He was my dad's favourite singer and one of my all time favourites too. Vintage stuff!
In World War One this was my Grandfathers Battalions Theme Song . His Battalion got Wiped out Three times during the course of that Bloody Hell War. Lest We Forget
That beautiful young woman to the right of Bing…no older than 25…and now she would be over a hundred. How we all live and die…so many beautiful women in the world will grow old and lose their beauty, die, and decay. Their young beauty lasts only in video and photos. Bing’s voice is silent and his body perhaps now bones, but we get to see him and hear him. His fine voice and blue eyes will always exist, if only in media. Death destroys us all. Only art preserves a impression of us. As Shakespeare said: the rest is silence.
I agree except when he totally dis-owned his son for shaking up with a woman without marrying her. He took that to his grave. Hey. I still love his singing
Gregg Jordan To Hell with PC. As far as I'm concerned, this great song still stands as if was written by Foster. If that offends some idiots, too bad. They don't have to listen to it.
@@syourke3 You need to be a better person. The original version is awful if you realise what happened and is still happening to African Americans. You are a disgrace of a person if you just want to wipe all that off the table for your what, 2.5 minutes of fun? Revolting.
Bing definitely sounds amazing here but how they're clearly dreaming back to the plantation and slavery just makes me feel so uncomfortable, seems there was sort of a romanticism about those times in Hollywood back then and specially how they made a caricature with happy slaves in movies.

Beautiful. Just beautiful. The state song of Florida.
I did not know that. I looked it up and there it was. I don't know why it's interesting but it is

I have rarely heard Crosby song with such emotional commitment. Beautifully done.

Same happened to me today. 😊

Bing was SOOOO young.
This may be the most beautiful this song has ever sounded!
Bing is the King. Then, now and always.
Wow, great performance! Wish I could sing like Bing!
Bing is pure gold.

Why did they sing this US song??
Thank You for your family legacy and service to our country 🙏 🇺🇸
Always loved this with Bing
.
I love Bing Crosby's younger Tenor.
Some of my favorite crooners include Bing Crosby, Al Jolson, and Jim Reeves!
Meade Music al Jolson wasn’t a crooner at all! If you’re talking about the real definition f crooner, neither was Bing.
+Mikey Condry A crooner is anyone who sings a slow song, as Bing Crosby does here.
Eric Jaffa crooning is a style of singing, not a style of song
@@michaelcondry1493 bing was definitely a crooner including this song, but al Jolson was definitely not
Damn he really went all in. Love it
Great version
Ain't no one like Bing 💕🎶
omg i love this
so lovely, thank u.
Loved it!

Yes I think like u. Time is a strange thing the arrow of time is continuously going forward there is no now
beautiful
Great Bing !
WAY DOWN PON DEM SWANNE REEEEEEE-IIII-VUUUH
Talm bout dat FRIIIIIEEEEEED chicken an wou-tuh melon
Lol. Thanks for putting some soul into it, Old Groaner.
Gail Patrick and Joan Bennett (before she went brunette) sitting in front of Bing, they must have glued his ears back for this one
Always the best.
Bing had an amazing voice.
Bing at his best on this song
We forget how well he really could sing
He really did have a good voice I love this song anyway
Bing Crosby got inspiration from Al Jolson so I would've been surprised if he couldn't sing "Old Folks at Home"
Bing is America at its best.
Song by Silvana Manganofrom the film Bitter Rice .
I agree except when he totally dis-owned his son for shaking up with a woman without marrying her. He took that to his grave. Hey. I still love his singing
urdivine he had strong morals I guess
@@urdivine why in the 🌎 would you make an unnecessary 😒 remark. Let it rest. Doon coff
@@socio2psycho I wrote it....it must have been necessary.
Beautiful rendition ...only rivaled by the great Jolson.

One of the greatest baritones ever.
"See, toldcha, I spoiled it!" 😢
I look at the face of the little black boy at the beginning... Was so good, but I'm sure that 'Today' he might have a different opinion XXXXXX
good job
Good!
Florida's state song.
The Honeymooner's brought me here.
When was it released and who is the original singer?
1850 something by Stephen Foster
Aces Bing
Im
Here course of good luck Charlie
Who's here from Casio keyboard
The 80s version
The 1930s are so unique.
is the Black lead singer (00:29 - 00:44) Paul Robeson ?
"Why spoil it?"
"Won't you?, for me?"
Oh, go on then ....
Only here cause of that one joke from Good Luck Charlie.
Damn this is a great rendition but it sure is too bad all those people aren't allowed inside the house, I wonder why.
The kids are cute, but couldn't they find ones that could actually carry the tune?
Good luck charlie brought me here
That's a song from the great Stephen Foster.
Bing's delivery is rather eccentric!
It's easy to understand how Frank Sinatra's style took over from Bing.
Sounds like Robbie Williams LOL LOL LOL.

when kids sing off key its cute . when adults do it the crowds boo and they get chased off the stage by a rude audience

He sings the original version; before they changed the lyrics to the current politically correct version.

@@syourke3 Better yet to Hell.with your denial of evil. Bing would have never sung those lyrics by the 1950s.

@@syourke3 we don't have to listen to it your right... but we also can change it 😇
@@Bejaardenbus You aren’t seriously comparing the state of race relations today with the 1850s, are you?…
Wow. Black people stay outside.

The Lost Cause Era when the South reinvented the Civil War.
Foster wrote it for a slave narrator torn from his family and far from his plantation home. The opposite of what Bing projects.
It's good, but we need to recognize that racism exists alongside older renditions of our American traditional tunes.
Oh shut the hell up
@@Dom_510 😂😂😂
Absolutely.
@@Dom_510 You need to be a better person.
YES!!!! 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼 acknowledge!!!!!
This song hurts me 💔 when i see them beautiful children used for money and there family not ever payed...im a white boy they love 2 hate...
Not a patch on Paul Robson for whom the lyrics were written. No one will ever sing this song like him again.
Paul Robeson was born almost 50 years after the song was written.
(Siren blares) This is the PC Police this is a problematic gathering!
Sung like a man who new whos music hed stolen
Sung like a man who knew who's music he had appropriated and profited from. Pretending to feel guilty 😂😂😂😢
Very racist!!!!!
Well it was 1935 it was still racism back then so they had to figure out some way to make us want to be stars
The only thing worse than the racism from the time would be to pretend it was never that way at all!
I was thinking the same thing in the context of today. MAGA yearns for these days. Marjorie Taylor Greene sees herself in the fancy dresses.
fkn sht
How awkward
He skipped the last verses
beautiful.
