Best version ever! The lady is so under-rated but like Judy Garland she gave such hope to poor people around the world during the Depression and the hard times of the 30's (her films were massively popular lest we forget). She's not only a populist hero but with that voice she walks with angels...god bless her.
The pipes have called, Deanna. The summer is gone, the last rose has faded, and the valley is hushed with snow. Thank you for bringing light and beauty to a nation suffering though a Depression and World War II. Sleep in peace, Deana. Time for me to say that Ave.
There is not a time one hears this song, Irish or not, when the heart is not affected and the tears well up in one's eyes. Ms Durbin is especially gifted in her rendition. For all who have lost or miss a loved one this brings sad joy. Mashallah!
I'm not crying, I'm just chopping some onions lol, of course I'm crying, how could I not? Gosh, such a beautiful voice, so full and outstanding RIP Deanna, you are missed:')
Her voice is amazing, her acting is outstanding, and her beauty is overwhelming. Whats more her version of this song is so heartfelt and wonderful it brings tears to my eyes
Aye! And a fairer maiden never graced this good earth. The most beautiful angel sang the most honest rendition, and with a tear in her eye. Bow down and kiss the earth beneath her feet, for you are in the presence of the voice of God in female form..
If there is a more beautiful version of Danny Boy, I haven't heard it. It touches your heart in every way. RIP sweet Deanna and thank you for the gift of your glorious voice that you left behind.
This song was surely meant for a woman to sing. It is a love song directed to a young man. And this version is wonderful! I am getting tears in my eyes. And she is tearing up while she sings it! The most heartbreaking song of love I ever heard.
Deanna, for me, was the true voice for Danny Boy. The movie was awesome. Her voice was a blessing from Heaven and no-one can put the heart in your throat like she could. She will be greatly missed.
When I first heard she could sing, I was surprised, and then blown away by that voice! Beautiful. Thank God for all the great singers who have touched my heart my whole life. They are treasures!
Richard, I had the same response when I first encountered Durbin - her first movie "Three Smart Girls". It was during a song I uploaded - "Someone to Care for Me". Hearing that magnificent voice coming from a 14 year old face just blew me away. The world has come a long way, technologically, in the last 70 years. But we've lost a lot, too. My Deanna Durbin videos, not to mention my uploads of Fred Astaire and Irene Dunne, all demonstrate how much talent was appreciated back then and isn't now.
Deanna Durbin's version of Danny Boy is so incredibly beautiful that it reaches down into my soul. What a fantastic voice! She captures the melancholy mood of the song so well--simply angelic!!
know one can sing this like deanna the voice of an angel sang with true heart and feeling thats why it moves you to tears , she has an amazing control in her voice that seems to come with ease, jackie evancho has it to , it cant be taught , its a gift from the angels . is anyone out there still amazed at how such a big voice comes out of such a little person. tina
Look at her... she was a CHILD!!! Just a sweet, beautiful child blessed with the voice of an angel... that is the BEST rendition of Danny Boy I have ever heard... what a treat! Thank you, Uploader!
I have heard many versions of this, but never have I heard such perfection that brings tears to my eyes. Thank you for posting. I am taken back to my childhood when my great grandmother would sing this to me as we would swing in her back yard.
quelle belle voix ! je suis heureux de posséder de Deanna Durbin un long play Decca ,en état neuf, dans ma collection et merci de mettre en ligne ces vidéos d'elle .
she is incredible: voice quality, vocal expression, emotion, and spot on dramatic warmth. i am ashamed that i had never heard of her before this week. Now, i am huge fan!
I remember seeing her in many movies and loved them all'....I remember the theatre audiences went quiet as soon as she opened her mouth to sing....am so glad someone saw fit to put her on youtube....at nudging 80 I need something this good...one who does this almost as well, if not as well is Judith durham of the seekers another pure voice,
Forevermore you will continue to thrill us with your beautiful voice. Such emotions in every note. It brings tears to my eyes. RIP Deanna and thank God for you enriching my life.
Now this is beautiful music and singing perfection! What a blessing that we have the technology to be able to hear it today. Irene Dunne, Jeannette MacDonald, Nelson Eddy, and so many others! Thanks for posting - seems like I visit You Tube and gave up on TV long, long ago!
Deanna Durbin is still alive and well at 87, living in France. She doesn't reply to fan mail anymore, but she still receives it. You could always send her a letter and tell her how much you enjoyed her singing.
É o mesmo que ter dito para Maria: Eu não tenho poder para resolver, mas Jesus, o Filho de Deus, nosso intercessor entre Deus e os homens, ele pode resolver. Então, Maria devolve a responsabilidade e espera o resultado, dizendo: Fazei tudo o que ele vos disser. É o que o texto diz...
this puts a tear in my eye for a number of reasons one the voice of this lady is perfect the sond oh so sad and i feel sad that who today can sing a song in this way. i love music like this but non can be found to day
I still watch her films on DVD , one of my favourites is ( His Butlers Sister.) beautiful lady with a voice in a million. I get goose bumps when she hits those high notes always have a hanky near by, her music will last for ever. Iris
Film "Because of him", 1949. Deanna Durbin was always one of my fovorites. Her voice at a very young age, would surpasse a lot of singers. But It seems like she faded quickly from the screen? But I always love her voice. Thank you for sharing this.
That's heartbreaking. I'm so stupid I never knew Deanna Durbin sang that well. Then again she was a bit before even my time and I'm old. Thanx for posting.
Best version ever!

Deanna Durbin a true treasure.
No fancy props, smoke and mirrors, no revealing outfits.
Just a golden voice, lovely face and she steals the show.
amen to that.
The pipes have called, Deanna. The summer is gone, the last rose has faded, and the valley is hushed with snow.
Thank you for bringing light and beauty to a nation suffering though a Depression and World War II.
Sleep in peace, Deana. Time for me to say that Ave.
My son Danny I lost some years ago and have moved on, but at times I need this so as not to forget the love I had for my boy
There is not a time one hears this song, Irish or not, when the heart is not affected and the tears well up in one's eyes. Ms Durbin is especially gifted in her rendition.
For all who have lost or miss a loved one this brings sad joy. Mashallah!
One of the most underrated actresses in the history of Hollywood. She quit at the top of her game and we all lost a little something.
I'm not crying, I'm just chopping some onions lol, of course I'm crying, how could I not? Gosh, such a beautiful voice, so full and outstanding RIP Deanna, you are missed:')
Her voice is amazing, her acting is outstanding, and her beauty is overwhelming. Whats more her version of this song is so heartfelt and wonderful it brings tears to my eyes
Did any one ever hit that top note in Danny Boy like her? It's some leap without the slightest stress -Magnificent
Aye! And a fairer maiden never graced this good earth. The most beautiful angel sang the most honest rendition, and with a tear in her eye. Bow down and kiss the earth beneath her feet, for you are in the presence of the voice of God in female form..
If there is a more beautiful version of Danny Boy, I haven't heard it. It touches your heart in every way. RIP sweet Deanna and thank you for the gift of your glorious voice that you left behind.

Today the 4th of december Deanna would be 92 years old,And i love her as mutch today as i did when i first saw her back in the early 40s R.I.P. DEANNA
If you are not offended by me asking, how old are you exactly? I wish I could've experienced Deanna for a longer period of time! :)
In answer to amber
certainly a decade when ladies were ladies ,
and Deanne certainly was a beauty and the most incredible voice .
Deanna, for me, was the true voice for Danny Boy. The movie was awesome. Her voice was a blessing from Heaven and no-one can put the heart in your throat like she could. She will be greatly missed.

Wonderful lady, singing a wonderful song. I totally agree.
Deanna Durbin she's a beautiful woman and a amazing voice and May she rest in peace 😇

I am still grieving for her and still miss her.
I still miss her for the rest of my live!
I fall to pieces when I hear this part of the song......."And I shall hear, tho' soft you tread above me".......so beautiful, so sad.
Film "Because of him", 1949. Deanna Durbin was always one of my fovorites. Her voice at a very young age, would surpasse a lot of singers. But It seems like she faded quickly from the screen? But I always love her voice. Thank you for sharing this.
