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.
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!
@@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.
My dear father sang this often to my mother. She sing it too. My parents were married in 1941, and this song was part of the track of their courtship. Thus, it is very dear to me as well.
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.
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.

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!!
Its such a beautiful thing witnessing so many comments from older generations. Glad you guys know how to operate the internet & still have your memories💯What a time to be alive to have actually lived through those times & yall still here to tell the story. Im 25 but my grandparents raised me so i have the same taste as you all👌🏾🖤
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.
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?
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."
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.
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 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.
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 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!
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.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
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.
This song makes me miss him so much! I’m bob Eberly’s grand daughter. He named me at birth. We always had a strong connection. He was taken Way too early!
I have been trying to find this tune as it wouldn't leave my mind. Now, here it is, posted by bigbandrenaissance. Thank you so much! I listened to this era when a child, while my Father and musical friends played their instruments on weekends. Lots of memories..
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.
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
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
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
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.
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
seems like yesterday when i worked at a department store and i was in radio and phonograph sales in 41/42.. always heard this being played for demonstrations of the product, thank you for sharing -Ken
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.
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.
This particular recording brings back so many happy memories. My late sister used to sing this song in the '40's. I was just five years old in 1941. Thank you for sharing this excellent post.
Thanks very much. I enjoyed this and the “I Remember You”/“Tangerine” upload. I like “Amapola” & first consciously heard it sung on a re-mastered CD by the British singer, Ann Shelton. She had a gloriously deep, contralto voice (at least an octave lower than Helen O’Connell’s) & sang the ballad slow and smokey. I don’t know which orchestra it was but Ann sang early in her career with Ambrose & His Orchestra.
WOW Wonderful version of a great song by two fantastic vocalists & orch. Why do people rave on about nothing & don't even bother commenting on the clip itself? From a 72yo Aussie fan.
I'm one of the fortunate ones old enough to see Jimmy Dorsey in person my memories are as Vivid as yesterday I Am 98 years old

❤
As a young lad only 14 im glad i asked my dad what era this music was in. And i have found my soul.
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
What a beautiful, romantic love they lived. ❤
May they both be resting in peace for the eternity.❤🙏
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
Hi I'm just a 17 years old girl now and listening right now to this beautiful music 🎶
Welcome to my world, Maureen.
I was 4 years old. Song was so beautiful. I’m now 86.
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.
I am so glad I had the chance to enjoy a part of this era, how awesome it was

Am 89 years old and this brings tears -music was "romantic" . Enough said.
Are you still among us?
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.
Its such a beautiful thing witnessing so many comments from older generations.

Hello Sarah, How are you doing?
Sara are you still alive?
my mom used to sing this when shes cooking...miss them both

Oui oui.
What a beautiful comment. You have an old, nostalgic soul.
Perfect explanation of how I feel wow
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
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.
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.

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!
Just love this .....wish I lived in that period.....I missed it by a few years but love the music.
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.
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❤👍❤
Helen with those beautiful dimples and her pouting style of singing....How I yearn for those great days
What stunning music. Thank God for RUclips.
An age of music I am most grateful to have been part of.......

Rekla BiH da su 50-te bile previše rano za tebe. 60-te su bile prave godine. 🤗🇷🇸🤗
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.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
love it, still so wonderful after all these years.
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
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
I too feel nostalgic since I was born in 1936.I remember this on the radio. This music never dies.
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.
2017 and i come back to this beautiful perfection. nothing beats the classics
This song makes me miss him so much! I’m bob Eberly’s grand daughter. He named me at birth. We always had a strong connection. He was taken Way too early!

I hate you.

Ha ha. I can relate! 1980 here. What does Amapola mean?
Helen O'Connell was absolutely beautiful.
Thank you sharing this beautiful music, fantastic band, fabulous voices, lovely clothes. Great music period !
I love this song. Bring back memories of my childhood in sunny South Africa a very long time ago.
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.
I was there. They were so kind to this Teenager. I love this period in my life.

Che voce straordinaria!!!
This brings it all back! Thankyou
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!?
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 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.
One of the best versions I've ever listened to...
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.
what an incredible voice, from heaven to earth...
Voci, Volti di un epoca che non torna più.
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
seems like yesterday when i worked at a department store and i was in radio and phonograph sales in 41/42.. always heard this being played for demonstrations of the product, thank you for sharing

Great song.

Amazing sounds.

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.
... Обволакивающий голос Боба приятно слушать... песня - красивая, запоминающаяся... Спасибо!!!! ♥️🤗🥰🌹🌼
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...
Super excellent with very good interesting photos
I Saw them Live at Sunnybrook Ball room Pottstown PA back in the day! it was so awesome!
I love this song,from when I heard it in the50's it is so nice hearing it sgain in 2020!
a lovely sound..calm and smooth!
Those time should have never ended. I would be more than glad if they were still be our times 😊❤
The 2 Helens,O'Connell and Forrest,what talents,may they live forever.
Helen O'Connell winked at me towards the end:) Wonderful song and performers, and a great video.
This particular recording brings back so many happy memories. My late sister used to sing this song in the '40's. I was just five years old in 1941.
Thank you for sharing this excellent post.

Hermosas canciones que nunca olvidaré. Gracias a quien las subió, Una bisabuela. Yoly
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
This music is a peace of art!
Iam from Iraq and know this song from my older brother and still love it .what a song
Saw them in the 1970's at Sunny Brooke Ballroom in Pottstown Pa. It still operates in 2017!
ONE OF THE BESTS LATIN SONG AND THIS IS A TUCHING RENDITION.
Born 1943 youngest of 7 boys some away at the war the one's who taught at home played this stuff continuously PRICELESS
This music makes me so happy!

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.....
what a Beautiful Voice I don't know about everyone else , but these songs make me feel like I was there for some reason and it's a good feeling :)
WOW
Wonderful version of a great song by two fantastic vocalists & orch.
Why do people rave on about nothing & don't even bother commenting on the clip itself?

Always one of my favorites. ❤
the sublime singer and accompanist is also good, childhood memories, wonderful. I love
