ΑΑπο την μακρινη Ελλαδα, σου στελνω χαιρετισμους και σου ευχομαι να παρεις τα χρονια του Μαθουσαλα! Δηλαδη 1000 χρονια! Σου ευχομαι υγιεια και ο θεος μαζι σου. 🇬🇷🏛👍
God bless, brother. I am nostalgic for a period of time I never knew, but you did. My father is 90, and this is his style of music. And now, it is mine too.
God bless. God wants you around. You come from a generation of class and values. My father is 90, and he is still reliving his past and lamenting how things have changed. Yes, you were fortunate to have seen this true artist. Hold on to your memories. All we really ever own are our experiences.
Wow that's amazing
I was 6 years old but had two brothers 15 and 17. Thats all the music l heard. Still love it and I'm 83.
Awesome ~ you're still 6 years old kid. I think you mind stil young whenever you listen to this song.
Also I can image your brothers.
Thank so much~
That’s awesome❤️ there was nothing more awesome than to have him sing to me when ide visit him on the weekends. My grandfather Bob Eberly. I miss him still so so much!
Paul dou you remember world war?
Thats sad but nice. I hope you have a good rest of your life
@@michelleleeschaeffer3482 My dad had a lot of these 78s (which I have many of them now) Your grandpa was excellent as well as his brother Ray who was sadly given a raw deal by Glenn Miller.
A dear woman I cared for for four years died today at the age of 96. This was her favorite song; her husband sang it to her when they were dating in high school and the next 60 years after that. ❤️😢 I loved her and I’ll miss her.
Rest in piece
I was a child 4 or 5 and had teen cousins. I remember this song was played over and over. Still love the memories, they're gone but I'm 88.
Hi I'm just a 17 years old girl now and listening right now to this beautiful music 🎶
Welcome to my world, Maureen.
I grew up listening my father singing this song, he was a tenor. Now he passed away, and I remember him in my mind singing me this song.
I am 82 and continue to like this song
your dad was twice as good as mine, he was only a fiver
Rest in peace
As a young lad only 14 im glad i asked my dad what era this music was in. And i have found my soul.
I just found a love letter from my Dad to my Mom pre- ww2 before they were married where he mentioned this song. He also signed a card Amapola that was sent with flowers. He later was a soldier and they got married before he was shipped out to Europe. After searching, I found this.
BobbyDan Such a beautiful story....Life might have been really simple and with more joy and love then.
So nice!
Bobby Wow that is terrific
How romantic!
From a time when vocalists were professional with voices that were practiced, in perfect tune and under complete control. Musicians were exactly that, were experts with their instruments, and together produced real music that blended together into a wonderful harmony of sound. How I miss that.
This is a deceptively difficult song to sing..with it's change of key..and change of tempo..bob Eberly has a magnificent command of both..his beautiful voice soaring..or deep with passion..The beautiful Helen O''Çonnell is magnificent! They were so incredibly suited to each other. What a time to have experienced this incredible music, the Bands, and the wonderful singers. I thank my parents and uncles for my love of this music..ballads..jazz..swing..all really coming from The Blues!!
I wasn't born yet but I heard my parents sing this song all the time. Even today, I can still hear it all around. Sweet memories❤👍❤
My mom used to sing this in our kitchen. I payed attention to the words I loved all those old songs it’s a shame the young people missed out on all of yester year and how good it was then.
Helen with those beautiful dimples and her pouting style of singing....How I yearn for those great days
Just perfect, I love the music of the 40's and 50's, never get tired. And I fall in love every time I hear and see Helen O'Connell. and don't forget good old Benny and his clarinet.
Good heavens 1941 I was 8 years old lovely to hear it again.
armyoldsweat You've lived through a beautiful music era sir
armyoldsweat damn you old
this music is where its at
So was I. Up the 1933ers.
Peter Taylor You're so lucky to have lived through that time.
One of my fathers favorite songs from this era .I was born in1946 and the big band music was our connection to enjoying the same music, and appreciation of music itself.
I am so glad I had the chance to enjoy a part of this era, how awesome it was
+Fazli Sameer ..................ditto
I love it!!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Born: 1979 🤩🤩😍🙋🏻♀️
Helen y Bob: Un dueto elegidos por el destino.Sus voces,estilos muy particulares y una época de oro,vivieron para qué hoy sigan deleitándonos.¡ Gracias a este Canal por sus selecciones musicales!
Helen O'Connell was absolutely beautiful.
i feel nostalgia....why.
i was never born at this time.
the feeling is not sad, but not happy either.
anyone have this?
I feel that too
+The Mini Melon was just thinking the same thing
Well some psychics say that you could have lived in several different time periods. Maybe you lived during that time, and it was your favourite.
You probably did have a past life during this time. You just don't remember it.
The Mini Melon j
Just love this .....wish I lived in that period.....I missed it by a few years but love the music.
I was not born during the years that Swing music was popular , both my parent's were born in the 1920's would always tell us about this great 1940 's dance music . Now that they are gone whenever I hear sounds like this makes me really appreciate such wonderful era of music and romance.
Oh my God I wasn't born at that time. But I so happy to know these people that made my mommy and daddy dance the floor away!!! An evergreen song by two splendid voices and very good looking singers.
My favourite decades for music is 20s,30s, 40s, 50, some 60s, 70s, & 80s :)
Some of the best were made and recorded between 1911 & 1960
My favorite eon for music is the Holocene era
The....what?
You should check out Death Grips
this could be shortened to 20s-80s
im so glad I live through the era of these wonderful songs and dance music.
These songs make me feel happy and serene. They make me less afraid of death too for some reason. They make me feel a certain powerful emotion... I don't know what you call it. I get a knot in my stomach and i wanna smile and cry at the same time. They make me feel hope, maybe?
Oui oui.
What a beautiful comment. You have an old, nostalgic soul.
Perfect explanation of how I feel wow
My Mother loved the Big Band Music so much,singing songs at home from back when. Learned to Love all music,feel Blessed,I do.
Helen had such a unique voice , still love to hear those songs.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
The 2 Helens,O'Connell and Forrest,what talents,may they live forever.
Just pure romance, where did it all go??? This was my fathers favourite song through WW2 and after. Lovely
Hasn't gone anywhere. YOU left.
?
where did the romance go?...It was blown up on a Sunday morning, Dec. 7/1941.
it was also the favorite song of my Father R.I.P. DAD
Romance is alive and kicking. You just need some luck in encountering it. When you do, grab hold of it, else someone else will.
This song was a gift from my mom, how she loved this song. Owed a liquor store in Great Neck in mid 70s, when Customer walked in, my mom was.there at the time and pure joy poured over her face, it was Bob Eberly, him and I became good friends, I miss him, but I have his music, and this memory, when I hear this song!
How great to see the images of these two wonderful vocalists from the 40s! I grew up listening to swing music, but for some reason I'd never heard the vocalized version until I was about 28 years old. I'd heard the instrumental version but never knew the name of the song. When the two came together for me, my heart exploded and it's been my all time favorite song ever since. A fiance' dedicated this to me so it has special meaning. He's one I let get away. Still, sweet memories are stirred.
Hello Sarah, How are you doing?
Sara are you still alive?
I was there. They were so kind to this Teenager. I love this period in my life.
donald caron h
What stunning music. Thank God for RUclips.
An age of music I am most grateful to have been part of.......
I,m 74 now,growing up in the 50,s this was the proper music that was played on the radio,absolutely priceless,what we have now is awful!
love it, still so wonderful after all these years.
Dad was in the Navy during WW2...this was the only record they had aboard ship.....we learned to love this song....great memories.........
I was in a band that backed Bob Eberly once. Played all of these songs. Those green eyes----
Se oli sitä aikaa joka ei koskaan enää palaa ! Aivan upea esitys !
Aivan! ..-Musiikki ja viihde oli silloin vielä taidetta!?
Lyrics:
A boy found a dream upon a distant shore
A maid with a way of whispering "Si, señor."
Each night while guitars would softly play
The tune seemed to dance 'round the words that he'd say
Amapola, my pretty little poppy
You're like that lovely flower so sweet and heavenly
Since I found you, my heart is wrapped around you
And loving you, it seems to beat a rhapsody
Amapola, the pretty little poppy
Must copy it's endearing charms from you
Amapola, Amapola
How I long to hear you say, "I love you."
Amapola, my pretty little poppy
You're like that lovely flower so sweet and heavenly
Since I found you, my heart is wrapped around you
And loving you, it seems to beat a rhapsody
Amapola, the pretty little poppy
Must copy it's endearing charms from you.
Amapola, Amapola
How I long to hear you say "I love you."
Gracias
Thank you
It seems to be a rhapsody
2017 and i come back to this beautiful perfection. nothing beats the classics
I can remember as a kid, my father particularly, listening to his cousins, Tommy & Jimmy Dorsey performing on the radio and TV. I still get a kick out of listening to them on Sirrius radio. Its is so sad for Swing listeners, that both of them died so young. I remember my Dad telling me about his time during the War, going to their concerts in Manhattan.
My father tell me about my grandpa, from Lima Perú. He loves to listen this kind of songs, in particular from Glenn Miller's Orchestra and Benny Goodman.
I was born I year later,oh how I love this song,brings back memories of happier days when life was simplier and beautiful!
This gives me a cozy feeling, a feeling of happiness. When times were....simpler
I once saw and heard Helen O'Connel on stage in Portland. She is lovely.
Most beautiful song thank you for sharing ❤️❤️❤️❤️👍💯💯💯💯💯💯👏👏
what an incredible voice, from heaven to earth...
One of the best versions I've ever listened to...
Che voce straordinaria!!!
I traced my interest in music for y son age 44....in digging up neary 60 yrs....on our street was lot of older kids...tie summers in west tenn it was very hot and o air conditioners in 1942....so we heard swing music through te ope windows....Dorsey's, glen miller, woody Herman, Harry James.....when say a new Dorsey disk came out...it was played over and over.....I was age six but I learned a lifetime on Forrest ave....thank you for presenting these great swing numbers....jm
This music is a peace of art!
This is a very beautiful piece of music performed here three yrs before I was born ..
My sisters played their music all day long. They were in love with Bob Eberly. And me in love with Helen O'Connel, till this day
I was 4 years old. Song was so beautiful. I’m now 86.
Am 89 years old and this brings tears -music was "romantic" . Enough said.
Born 1943 youngest of 7 boys some away at the war the one's who taught at home played this stuff continuously PRICELESS
I love this song. Bring back memories of my childhood in sunny South Africa a very long time ago.
Oh Mel..most definitely. To listen..live to tommy dorsey with Bob Eberley and to gaze at Ray with Miller...to jitterbug with a partner who could jitterbug..to support the guys..but the music!! As a muso's daughter with a mother who sang professionally and played 78's all the years we were growing up, I have an abiding love for these wonderful bands and musos...and, of course, the composers.
I was born in 1941 and my mother probably listened to this in the Hospital
Miss my Grand Father!!! Bob Eberly♥️
No one is making you listen to this great music, great musicians, wonderful singers .we can at least understand the words, not like today's music
Great song.
Worth listening to in Spanish (Bocelli or Placido Domingo); Italian (Carlo Buti) and in French (Tino Rossi) All great examples and very different tempos.
WOW WOW WOW !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
From a mad keen 74yo Aussie fan.
God---The music was so,so good---The Golden age of great music.
I am 67-yo, but my soul belongs to the era of our Greatest Generation with this kind of music. Good old days gone forever...
love the way Bob sings it straight and Helen swings it Great contrast!
I grew up on this music ---my Dad was a huge fan of Glen Miller & Jimmy Dorsey. --He told me Helen O'Connell was a true beauty with a smile that simply melted him. -------WolfSky9
Wolfsky9 , how interesting! Helen O'Connell was big with the college aged kids.
Damn the music from the 1940s was so laid back. Love it!
Helen O'Connor the Boswell sisters The Andrews sisters and all the rest of you in that magnificent era I would just like you to know how much I enjoyed you since I was a kid and right now I'm going to be 69 and I'm still listening to The fabulous 40s some of you or most of you that are not here any longer I just wish that if you are in heaven above that you know how much your legacy still lives on may you all rest in peace and God bless you
the sublime singer and accompanist is also good, childhood memories, wonderful. I love
Those time should have never ended. I would be more than glad if they were still be our times 😊❤
ONE OF THE BESTS LATIN SONG AND THIS IS A TUCHING RENDITION.
This music makes me so happy!
... Обволакивающий голос Боба приятно слушать... песня - красивая, запоминающаяся... Спасибо!!!! ♥️🤗🥰🌹🌼
Interprétation fabuleuse. Merci
Wow, that gal sure knows how to belt out a song!!!
i used to always ask my grandfathers favourite song when i was around 18 and he said he didn’t know. eventually he gave in and said he was walking his dog a few years previous and heard this song playing as he walked past a fair ground a few years before i asked him and this was the song that resonated with him in his later years. he passed a few years back and i listen to this now and again knowing we both listened to it many times together
This is way before my time but I really love this kind of music. It's so soothing and I think it's a bit nostalgic to me from Christmas music that had certain sound qualities and instruments used like this.
Ahhhh but I love this so much
This brings it all back! Thankyou
My mother was married the year this song came out - 1928. She had the record when I was a kid and I loved it then. Now it makes me cry!
You cry because you have a tender heart. You are a privilegied person. Me too.
My mind is in a deep state of reminiscing & i was born in 1978!
Haha Jimmy broke his dumb REED!
im older than you |>
I hate you.
ok
Ha ha. I can relate! 1980 here. What does Amapola mean?
Beautiful music. That was my mothers name.
Hello Delia, How are you doing?
I love this song,from when I heard it in the50's it is so nice hearing it sgain in 2020!
Voci, Volti di un epoca che non torna più.
I too feel nostalgic since I was born in 1936.I remember this on the radio. This music never dies.
Bellissima i riporta ad un sapore perduto.
My mum is 95 and I play this as her and dad use to dance to this and hey still romantic need more of this these days !!!!
Such a sweet song.....Amapola, my pretty little Poppy ❤
laying here in my bathtub, eating pralines, feeling glamours and waiting for the winter.....oh how I love this song
wow its beautiful
I know that I was a soldier during WW2 and died in battle. I was born in 1943 and never stopped feeling for these music.....

Im 21 and love this music good old 1940's
Always one of my favorites. ❤
My wife and I listen to 40s Junction on SiriusXM all day, and whenever we heard this song, we thought the lyrics were, "Amapola, my pretty little puppy." We thought it was a love song for a dog, which we thought was really sweet.
Nice story. Definitely, my next dog will be named Amapola
Thank you sharing this beautiful music, fantastic band, fabulous voices, lovely clothes. Great music period !
