My wife just said, every time I hear this song I think of the movie radio days. This is the first time we have heard this version. Really enjoyed it! Thanks for posting.
Victor Young, who himself knew a thing or two about concocting a memorable melody, understood how to extract and showcase the full drama of a song, which in this case is quite considerable. Scrappy's somewhat subdued vocal contrasts nicely, as if he didn't want to try to compete with the arrangement. This great standard so beautifully captures the mood of fatalism that appeared as the Great Depression set in; the Schwartz-Dietz team's "Alone Together" of the following year achieves a similar effect.
Absolutely wonderful rendition, my new favorite of this tune.Yes, "Alone Together", is another gem. Most probably, you've heard Judy's Carnegie Hall performance of it. Spectacular, is an understatement!
@@Trombonology Oh yeah,I can see why. It's wonderful! That's from the same session that brought us "Moonglow", "I Cover the Waterfront", and another that I can't remember.... ICTW,was Artie's personal favorite of all of his sides.
@@Trombonology Oh wow,so it is! It seems the musical world is a small one,too! Yes,Artie had discerning tastes,for sure! His love life immediately came to mind with your "wide range" reference! ; D
One of these days I'm going to go through your posted 78s and similar vintage songs from other channels and set up a playlist of ones with the same titles as reasonably well-known 1950s-1980s song paired with the later songs. This one will be followed by Bruce Springsteen, of course. I keep running across a song called "P.S. I Love You" which is not the Beatles song. Just the other day, one of my subscriptions posted a version of it by Billie Holiday.

@@swingman5635 Indeed, Judy's "Alone Together" at CH is fantastic! ... You know Shaw's "Dancing in the Dark," don't you? That's my favorite.

@@swingman5635 It was the afore-mentioned "Alone Together." ICTW: Artie had good taste! Some would say in a wide-ranging way.
