Bob Crosby and the Bobcats - Happy Times
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 13 сен 2024
- Bob Crosby (August 23, 1913, Spokane, Washington March 9, 1993, La Jolla, California) was an American dixieland bandleader and vocalist, best known for his group Crosby and the Bob-Cats.
Bob Crosby began singing with Anson Weeks (1931-34) and the Dorsey Brothers (1934-35). He led his first band in 1935, when the former members of Ben Pollack's band elected him as titular leader. His most famous band, the Bob-Cats, was a Dixieland jazz group with members from the Bob Crosby Orchestra. Both the Bob Crosby Orchestra and the smaller Bob-Cats group specialized in Dixieland jazz, presaging the traditional jazz revival of the 1940s. Crosby's singing voice was remarkably similar to that of his brother Bing, but without its range.
The Bob Crosby Orchestra and the Bob Cats included (at various times) Yank Lawson, Billy Butterfield, Muggsy Spanier, Matty Matlock, Irving Fazola, Ward Silloway, Warren Smith, Eddie Miller, Joe Sullivan, Bob Zurke, Jess Stacy, Nappy Lamare, Bob Haggart, Walt Yoder, Jack Sperling, and Ray Bauduc. Arrangements for the orchestra were often done by a young trumpeter by the name of Gilbert Portmore who, during the time he was a WWII fighter pilot in the South Pacific, started an Air Force swing band known as Cap'n Portmore's Hepcats.[1]
The orchestra was actually led by sax player Gil Rodin, with Crosby himself simply the front man, chosen for his personality, looks, and famous last name.[2]
Hits included "Summertime" (theme song), "In a Little Gypsy Tea Room", "Whispers in The Dark", "South Rampart Street Parade", "March of the Bob Cats", "Day In, Day Out", "You Must Have Been a Beautiful Baby", "Dolores" and "New San Antonio Rose" (last three with Bing Crosby). A bass and drums duet between Haggart and Bauduc, "Big Noise from Winnetka," became a hit in 1938-39.
Bob Crosby has two stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, for Television and Recording.
Three of his songs were featured in the successful 2008 role-playing video game Fallout 3. The tracks included were the hits "Way Back Home" (from the 1949 Danny Kaye film "The Inspector General"), "Happy Times" and "Dear Hearts and Gentle People", variously played either on the in-game radio station 'Galaxy News Radio' or the promotional trailers.
"For when do you find the rainbow? Only after rain..."
The songs chosen for Fallout are amazing. They relate in a subtle way to the themes of loneliness and overcoming your troubles, adding a lot of atmosphere to the game.
...then comes Fallout 4 and adds "Atom Bomb Baby", "Uranium Rock" and "Uranium Fever" lmao
VNdoug I hate atom bomb baby. It got so overplayed it became a terrible song
I mean new vegas was also super upbeat
CubeHeadGaming very deep and so very true
@@VNdoug ATOM BOMB BABY LITTLE, ATOM BOMB
is it just me or does the pipboy have a great connection becouse you can go in vaults and still listen to a radio station
yep but the speaker isn't that great.
Realistically the vaults themselves have radio stations you’d tune into
It’s just you
Ikr
In fallout 4 you can exit boston to nuka-world or far harbor, and still be listinin to this boy
It's sad to roam around with this song playing. It talks about hope in a world that isn't gonna get better.
Honestly hearing this in Fallout 4 after that is so much more refreshing especially after taking out the Institute. The skies are clear. The major threats are gone. The world is slowly but surely getting its shit back together
It’s sad to roam around with this song and you’ll never have the same feeling as when u first played fallout
did you.... finish the game cuz..
@@scarecrowjones1 oopsie
It is kind of getting better even if things are not perfect. You can see in New Vegas that societies are forming that are able to provide safety - at a cost, but safety nonetheless.
As for peace. Well, war never change.
Fallout is one of the best series ever.
no arguing with that bro
Fallout is truly the best! Can't wait for Nuka World!!! 😁😁
I'm from the future, and bethesda fucked it up.
@@peppa4958 same bro it's bad
@@peppa4958 at least it was not fallout 5.. so basicly they dont fucked it already ;)
You have to sing so well that your songs will be rediscovered and approved by the future generations
haha, right? I wonder if on his death bed he had any idea that his work would be appreciated more than 20 years later!
if you really think about that, it's amazing. if i ever made a semi hit song iw would not, i repeat, not think it would be a hit 2 decades later
2018, i love jazz
the b man from da be movie will be proud, cause i LOVE jazz
Which is why (hopefully) this era of pop and SoundCloud rappers will be forgotten.
Emotions are deeply related to our instincts and as long as we are humans, we'll always feel the same way and music will always sound the same. (not exactly the same, but you got it)
Thank you, Bethesda
*After fallout 4, fuck you, bethesda
Your welcome
Todd Howard XD
@@shabpieczony *after fallout 76 Really Fuck you Bethesda
You mean obsidian?
Rest in peace Mitten Squad, this one is for you
i didnt even realize he passed. i used to watch alot of his challenge videos
Drink alcohol is can kill you “Mitten Squad”
I can hear my mom call me for dinner while I'm playing Fallout 3 on PS3. I wish I could have that moment again, RIP Mom.
Rest in peace to your mom I played fallout 3 my first ever rpg/fallout game at 11 when we were homeless whenever I got to stay at someone's house I'd play hell I played fallout 3 for about a year straight before I got bored of it but now as an adult with much more pain in my past this song brings a nostalgia that makes me feel almost at peace
rip
happy times
Godspeed to your Mother, her kind will never be forgotten
Rip she could suck it like a god
Hits the hardest when this plays while you're walking around cities that used to be alive and full of people now pieces of rubble at your feet.
always makes me cry, I'm sending you a hug wherever you are, grandpa
He's already sent a thousand back, and still counting ❤
Wish on the moon
And look for the gold in a rainbow
And you'll find happy times
You'll hear a tune
That lives in the heart of a bluebird
And you'll find happy times
Though things may look very dark
Your dream is not in vain
For when do you find the rainbow?
Only after rain
So wish on the moon
And someday it may be tomorrow
You will suddenly hear chimes
And you'll have your happy, happy times
So wish on the moon
And someday it may be tomorrow
You will suddenly hear chimes
And you'll have your happy, happy times.
Thank you so much
What does wish the moon means ?? I’m a foreigner
@@Saphir319Hmm… I suppose you could interpret it two ways. One way is to dream big and want to achieve greatness. Another way could be to wish for something impossible.
Who?
You’ll have your happy happy times. Don’t give up!
I gave up
This song gets me through periods when I am feeling down: Essays, self-doubt, etc.
Gets you through your periods bahahaha I'm a kid :|
Same. It's quite sad that purely happy and motivational songs like this one rarely get produced anymore. There is something idyllic and beautiful about the post war era in music. Cheers!
Honestly dude. Just because she's a girl, do you have to make fun of her? WTF man?
appaalle that's gross and disrespectful
how?
some day it may be tomorrow....
gets me every time.
Sadly, most of the people that lived during this time period are all gone but a new generation of people have rediscovered this wonderful music thanks to Fallout! Long live Mid-century America & may they all Rest in Peace. God Bless 🇺🇸
Alot of things wrong with mid century America but I will say that if you were a popular musician back then than that meant you had legitimate talent and could actually sing. Can't say it's the same today.
imagine walking down a road this song is playing, you look up at the night sky, its filled with stars. dogmeat is by your side, then you look forward again and a supermutant is coming at you.
pogowogo88 kill that fool.
The moment is ruined and you arms get crippled while you have 1 stimpak left
Super mutant suicider runs at you while you're crippled. Fuuuuuu- 💣
“Only one of us survives this. And it won’t be you!”
Kill him with a head-shot from my plasma rifle without breaking stride... leave a Minuteman sign nearby..
This song will always be special to me. It's so much more than a pre-Christmas song.
Imagine the wet winter night in Russia, the moon and this song playing in your player
@@Toxin___InterHalfer Or the snowy suburbs of Michigan.
That’s correct Robert, it’s one of diamond cities best! Can’t wait to listen to it during the next nuclear winter! Ah I can just see the atomic flash right before my eyes as the institute explodes!
i feel you
Such a sad and beautiful song in the context of Fallout 3.
Agreed my friend
Goes well with the game
+chris pease I play Fallout 4 and this is in it too still works with it and maybe works better.
FALLOUT 4 da win
MellowProductions it was in 3 too, and everyone knows NV is the best
Just a reminder from the present day: this song still fills my heart with a warmth rarely known to me. Reminds me of home..
I agree fully, I feel the same with their other song, Way Back Home!
The song that kept me going when I was homeless and sleeping under bridges or wondering from place to place.
your dream is not in vain
That sounds so ominous on its own XD
who else first heard this on the year 2277?
me
Close 2077
Me xd
Covid-19 i heard it
Me
I always listen to this song when the present feels bleak and that the better days are behind us. They’re not. The best is yet to come but got to make the times good ourselves.
True words. 😇😇
For anybody seen this 2024, or any time. I hope you have a great day or night and may god be with you. Enjoy these type of music cuz one day, everyone will forget of them all.
I WON'T: Edit for reference: I shall never forget
No worries, it's should be a necessity that we keep these songs thriving until the end of time ♡♡♡
and we will
And remember that War…war never changes
@@Lanetgm Aaaaa flame in your Heaarrrrtt!! ❤️🔥☢️
I've been figuring this song out for a month straight. I think I've discovered every jazz guitar chord variation there is. Water and food running low. Hearing and tweaking/changing something new every night. When I post, I hope you like. Pray for me.
Mitch Gondzur can you help me figure out how to play this?
Everytime I listen this song i want to cry, i don't know why but i really like this feeling.
It's calm and it's on my own playlist for "sleeping time"
Everytime I feel down, sad or anxious.
I listen to this and cry a river.
Today it's one of those day's...
Bob Crosby had to be with out a doubt one of the most underrated singers of all time.He was just as great if not better then his much MUCH more famous brother, Harry Lillis "Bing" Crosby Jr.
Yeah, but Harry was a better actor. That's what propelled his career. That and being such great friends with Bob Hope.
@@christopherzapata4970 That is also true.
Late to reply, I know, but he lived in the shadow of his brother Bing for a long time. Bob couldn't read music or play an instrument, but he had a decent voice and looked good in front of the band.
@@ldcraig2006 That is very true! Though I didnt know he couldnt read music, so thanks for sharing that tidbit.
I’m getting the chills this song is amazing
Best song on diamond city radio what a banger fr
On golly
@@BartholomewFrederickTheThirdplayed f4 during summer now back at skl shit feels so depressing fr 😭😭
Reminds me of shooting raiders in super duper mart near Vault 101, now I hear this songs again while leaving Vault 111
***** you never played Fallout 3 don't you ?
+I Am Anonymous it's raiders you idiot
+I Am Anonymous He is talking about Fallout 3, not Fallout 4. He gave a MASSIVE hint it was Fallout 3 when he said Vault 101.
classic swing, one of those forgotten genre's nowadays.
still hoping to find a bob crosby record!
My gosh theres tons on Ebay, but sadly no fallout songs of him on record for sale right now.
This song makes me so joyful yet so depressed at the same time
The Crosbys were a great family. Having 2 musicians, an actor, and a marketing manger (or something like that).
My grandfather, Irvin Verret, recorded with Octave Crosby Rag Time on Jan 1, 1954. The songs that were recorded were, Gettysburg March, Jellyroll, Tinag-a-ling and Bourbon Street Parade.
I just randomly searched good times and now I'm having a good time
I sure am happy to have discovered this song!
This song always manages to make me cry
Old music is fantastic, good thing some video games rescue these jewels for new generations.
2020, I'll come back years later
Grew up listening to Bing Crosby and I had no idea Bob Crosby existed until I played fallout 4... now this is a song is a reminder to look at the tiniest things in life and be grateful for them in my deepest depression moments.
Rest in peace, Joseph "Paul" Robertson (aka Mitten Squad). I hope you've found those happy times.
i love this song so much bob crosby is just the best its a pitty i wasnt alive during the 1930s 40s
yeah nothing like the great depression and black oppression (ey, that rhymed.)
despairdreams it’s better than what we have today at least
@@despairdreams372 depression was closing in mid 35 and plus jobs were improving under fdr the 40s were great minus the whole ww2 thing and agreed black oppression sucks but still life was better and simpler.....
Sad yet hopeful
Beautiful song.
Bob did it the best, my mom even says so ❤
This is my favorite one from the radio 🙌🏼
He needs more views. More than fallout and others, he deserves it. A great man! ❤️To Crobsy!
i love the comment that travis has before this song plays after confidence man, says how this song reassures him that it’ll all be alright. this song is one of my favorites because of diamond city radio.
Anyone for 2021
no
2022
man this song reminds me of my grandma
mine is happy times i think we have this that was made 13 years ago
So calming and beautiful
He had just as good a voice as his brother -- why not so famous?
Meredith MacInnis Bing was also a movie star, and was ten years older so he got a big start much before Bob. Bing was the biggest star of them all, and Bob was a star. I would say both are talented vocalists but Bing is much more, and Bing sang songs in every genre, while Bob stuck to jazz.
...though things may look very dark...your dream is not in vain..:)
Kinda funny most people are here cause a video game but I didn't even know it was used in fallout, I've been listening to this song for a while before I started fallout 4, the game that introduced me to the series
If I only had the time, I could learn to animate...
Oh, the beautiful stories I could tell! Middle School has been such a travesty.
Whoever found this at Bethesda deserves a raise
Happy times everyone. Most positive song I ever know.
Everything is gonna be ok :)
So many memories in a song. . .
Privileged to have seen & heard him & the bobcats preform in the late 80's. Wonderful night & a fantastic performance!
My grandma loved this song
I'm so proud to have played Fallout/Heart this nice music and that it was part of my childhood😎
Honestly the biggest reason fallout has always kept my attention was because of the radio on your pip boy. I honestly don’t think I would’ve been playing over and over for years to come if the radio were any different.
I see all these arguments here, about whether you're here because of Fallout or whether you are here because you know about Bob Crosby and don't know about Fallout. What I have to say is:
Why does it matter? If you love this beautiful music, it should not matter why, when, or how you were introduced to it.
I'm a 16 year old who loved this kind of music before playing games with them in it (I also do like Fo3 quite a bit) but I admit games introduce me to great lesser-known artists and songs.
Thank you fallout for introducing lost music to us
70 people did not wish upon a star. Just not good enough really, this song is great
Rest in peace Joseph Wilson
I turned on diamond city radio after destroying the institute. Walking around while listening to this just gave a reassuring feeling, like a sense of peace rush over the commonwealth. Good song man.
For me, whenever these songs come on, I remember how many I had to kill to get to where I am. Paladin danse, father, everyone working at the institute, and Virgil and Doctor Li hate me.
Never lose hope or love and never kindness..
This song makes me think of The Lone Wanderer listening to it on his pip-boy and being all sad because of leaving vault 101 and his new life without his dad and whatnot
Same
yeah. on my first playthrough I murdered the entire vault. This song was sad for me because damn james escaped. I. WILL. FIND. YOU>
Yuh
There are two kinds of people here XD lol
This makes me think of Christmas memories. The fireplace, snow, and all the simple things our vault dweller took for granted. For sure I visualize warm soup, the tree and smiles with family.
This song helps me be a hero
@@JoeyIsWoey in the video game fallout
This song fits fallout 3 and 4 perfectly. I remember when I first heard this in fallout 3 was right after watching James die and getting to the citadel. I remember walking to little lamplight as this was still playing and I had a feeling that my character was reminiscing abt the time he had w/ James past and present. Then when I first heard this in fallout 4 it was right after I got out of the vault for the first time b/c I wanted to see if Diamond city radio could hold up to GNR and when this song and many other fallout 3 songs were being used again. I remember smiling.
I find so songs good to learn englisch it's esier for a german like me to learn when man 10 years don't speak this language after school I had a Burnout 😂 and now I learn it again 😂😂😂
My quarantine song
There's just something special, when you walk the wasteland and this song comes up
@TheFallenPimp The oldest that i listened to pre-Fallout was Elvis Presley. Thats quite along time before i was born (im 17), but now i have no problem listening to pre-WWII music. Im in love with jazz.
Al escuchar estas canciones recuerdo claramente, las imágenes de mi papá viendo televisión, esas películas de guerra o las de romance. Me acerca más al cielo donde sé que Dios lo tiene. Un gran ser humano.. Te amo papá..
Tú hija Evelyn J. Garcés-VALDIVIA.
Crazy how Bob sounds almost like his brother Bing. Despite the 10 year gap! Crazy how genetics work.
God this is my favourite song ever! And fallout out 3 help me find it so now I'm 14 and I want so sing this kind of music now, I don't think of fallout when I hear this I just feel happy and listin too it everyday
beau vankomen Me too friend me too
+beau vankomen start looking for good music colleges that specialise in the types of music you are interested in. They can give you the trining and point you in the right direction for a good agent.
This makes me so happy
This song is very nice. I hope to get inspired to make new and better music soon. ^_^
ahh.... eases the soul :)
my favorite song in fallout 3
mine too
long played fallout 3 nostalgic
casper de haas thats big fax bro
This makes me calm
Brill song.
It's been so many year sense a play fallout and every time I go back and this beautiful song comes by its really happy times
Bob Crosby is the best
O gosh. this is awesome
only 1960s kids will remember this one
every bodies talking about this "fallout" but im just a 83 year old man listening to my favorite songs.
+ReeceDGAF how do i get back to the facebooks
I find it extremely odd that you are talking to yourself.
More like 40s kids
He's 83 years old. That's pretty much the only entertainment the elderly have.
man i have this on record
Lyrics:
Wish on the moon
And look for the gold in a rainbow
And you'll find happy times
You'll hear a tune
That lives in the heart of a bluebird
And you'll find happy times
Though things may look very dark
Your dream is not in vein
For when you find the rainbow
Only after rain
So wish, on the moon
And someday it may be tomorrow
You will suddenly hear chimes
And you'll have your happy, happy times
So wish, on the moon
And someday it may be tomorrow
You will suddenly hear chimes
And you'll have your happy, happy times!
I like his tone better than Bing's. Bob's chest is deeper, his tone darker. I LOVE his vibrato.
Imagine being a mf in 1960 zooted off that whiskey vibin to this banger
Bob at his best
Y'all have a happy day
You too man
This song ALWAYS preceded something going wrong.
This song is so confusing to me. Whenever I'm sad, it makes me happy, but when I listen to it while happy, I just get sad. Hm.
Yeah...
Yo bro... It sure does 😢😢🤔🤔
"For when can you find the rainbow? Only after rain."
