Nice to hear he is still remembered. He had a fabulous voice. I never met such a sweet and loving man ( my father-in-law). His son Bob Jr. had a lovely baritone voice (a little deeper then his Dad). I miss them both.
It amazes me how the younger American generations are so ignorant of such beautiful music like this and all the Big Band Era's great melodies and songs. They have no idea what they are missing. SUCH BEAUTY ! 🥲
Good morning: I never reply to any comments but I am compelled to do so with yours: I was a high school history teacher for 35 years and I used all kinds of music to "teach" my students depending on the era, etc...yes, it is certainly sad that our youth has no appreciation for this wonderful music, but in my classes and when I played this music, the response was amazing. Over the years I accumulated thousands of original songs, artists, etc...and now I go around and entertain seniors with what I accumulated. I could go on, but you are totally "right -on" (expression from my time). Besides, Helen O'Connell...what a "dish!" I've had a crush on her since I discovered her. I spend hours on RUclips searching for clips, songs, etc... you'd be surprised if you saw how many of our young people love this music if it is exposed to them in the correct context. Music is the poetry of our souls.
Actually, you can thank video games for getting the younger generation back into this music. While satellite radio got me started into it, a couple of very popular video games got even more kids into it. If this were on the radio more where I live, I’d listen to it consistently.
I'm 60 years 🧓 old MY Dad And His Buddies Would Listen 👂 to All These wonderful songs. I'm From East Boston. They would All Sing Along IN A social club In Maverick Square. Most of Them Were ww2 Veterans. And Long shore Men. AND MERCHANTS MARINES. GOD I LOVED EVERYONE OF THEM GUYS .THEY WERE THE GREATEST GENERATION. BY FAR.THANKYOU GOD FOR LETTING ME GET TO KNOW THEM.
Bob Eberly grew up in Hoosick Falls, NY and my grandparents loved his music and were good friends with his brother Al Eberly and his wife Anne. Bob's niece Joanne is a friend of my mother and went to school together at Hoosick Fall Central School. Bob returned to Hoosick Falls in 1977 for a homecoming concert at St. Mary's school. My grandparents sat with the Eberly family and Bob came over to where they were sitting and talked with them at the end of the concert. It was very memorable for my grandparents.
Same generation as you and I discovered this music in my teens. Orchestra music (like the Tonight Show Band) was still around in the 60s, and we really weren't very far past the Big Bands. My parents caught the tail end of the Big Band era in the early to mid 50s and they talked to me about it.
I'm so proud to call bob eberly my great grandfather! I wish I could have met him but my mother was close with him so I get to hear all her storys of him. from what I've heard he was the most selfless man!
WISH I COULD HAVE MET YOU, MARIE ELISE, AND HEARD YOU SPEAK OF THEM, I AM AN OLD VETERAN , OF THE ROYAL AIR FORCE, U.K. AND I FEEL WITH EMOTION WHEN I HEAR THEIR MUSIC, , THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE, :):)
Oh my gosh. i love it when the main guy leaves and everyone goes from classic to party time, the 1940s music and style is so much better than what we see today!
IMO Helen O'Connell was one of the prettiest singers of the era. I saw her when she was about 70 and she still had a lot of that wonderful girl-next-door appearance. Sadly she passed away not long afterwards. Such a loss.
This is an example of Dorsey's classic: (1) First, Eberly sings it soft and smooth, (2) next, instrumental by Dorsey...gettting a little jazzy...and (3) then a big fanfare...and (4) out comes the blond bombshell...with the strong voice. LOVE IT!!! Love them all.
What an era the 40s were for music! That these songs have endured shows that people are romantics at heart. I say Bring Back Romance! Even young adults today enjoy and appreciate this music. Thanks for this upload. I lived through that era and what a ride!
This is one of the reasons Jimmy Dorsey was the Best selling recording artist of 1941... Not even the Great Glenn Miller, or his more Famous brother Tommy Dorsey or anyone else out sold this Great band in 41. Bob Eberly had a total of more than 12 number one singles with the Jimmy Dorsey Band. This band are True Legends of their era. Respect
My Dad knew Tommy Dorsey and I grew up with the Big Band music! I have always loved Helen O’Connell. What a voice and so pretty. Thank you Dad for playing this music all the time! ❤❤❤
When I was a little girl I would watch movies on TV with all this wonderful music & my mother listened to music all the time. So glad I was gifted with a love of beautiful music from all genres & eras.
I was born in 1982, and I absolutely love this song. I thank my mom for introducing me to Big Band music. Tangerine is my absolute Favorite of all time. But I love the old music from long ago. Music is such a wonderful gift to share with our young. Granted there is music today that is complete garbage. It has nothing to offer our young. I am glad my mom introduced me to the greats like Tommy and Jimmy Dorsey, Louis Armstrong, Bing Crosby, Rosemary Clooney, and many of the greats of yesteryear. I will pick the oldies over trash they have now.
I keep coming back to this video, it's just so great to hear and see classy people like Helen and Bob, nothing like the crapola that passes for music nowadays.
This was my late father's favourite number. I am in Kampala, Uganda, and with the help of Skype I have just played it to my 92-year-old mother in London. Many thanks for posting.
I loved all the sounds of the big bands,when I was a girl many years ago,every Sunday there was concert on which I tried not to miss.Thats what you call music.
Love the Big Band Era - it brought us fabulous lyrics and melodies and stars like fabulous Doris Day, the absolutely incomprable Ella Fitzgerald together with Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Vera Lynn etc. What a time!
Bob Eberle starts it out, subtle, almost conversational. A sweet voice. You just kind of mellow out... Then out jumps Helen O'Connell. She makes your heart start to be a little faster, a grin suddenly appears and you don't even know it's there. What a marvelous time. Thanks so much for the share.
as a child born before the war I grew up listenting to these wonderful romantic songs - it left an indelible mark on me and shaped my music tastes - there was other music of that time great tenors and sopranos - do miss it all but great to be able to replay on disc or youtube
Bob Eberle. What a natural voice and smooth showmanship. As an erstwhile jazz singer I loved Helen O'connell. Nice to hear this stuff again. Dad was piano for big bands so I followed with the love.
Bob Eberly was probably one of the best male vocalists of the "Big Band Era". Others that come to mind are Dick Haymes, Art Lund, Harry Babbitt, & Buddy Clark. Little Miss Dimples, Helen O'Connell, was knock-out gorgeous and great to look at !
I am going to be 61 years old in March I'm going up with R&B classic rock punk rock NuWave yet when I hear swing jazz or bebop music not only do I love it the style the fashion how everything was just so down-to-earth but it creates a hunger in me four more of it when I get disgusted with today's music I run to this!!!
Just one of many songs (including "Green Eyes" and "Amapola") featuring the great singing of Bob Eberly and Helen O'Connell. Great memories from the Big Band Era.
Wow, I love that Tangerine song! Those singers were just kids then and the dancers looked so young. I respect that and their Pearl Harbour generaton. They all had hopes and dreams. God Bless America!
This was my Mom 's signature song when she sang for the USO and the local Watertown NY radio station. Some may laugh now, but that was a pretty big deal in the day. She taught me to love big band music.
Bob Eberly was known as "the singer's singer", the guy that the likes of Sinatra went to see in concert and often imitate. He and his brother, Ray, never got the backing they needed to escape the big bands.
William Humenansky very ture because he was to selfless to go further because he didn't need to reach the top.. he was happy where he was. frank was his friend and at his death bed frank was there for him and payed most his hopstial bills before he died. btw I'm his great granddaughter... just so you know.
This is great! My 89 year old mother-in-law will love this. The 1940's big band era was amazing. Notice how everyone stops dancing when a HOT singer steps up!
Marie Elise, I am so delighted that I am able to watch your wonderful great grandfather sing a most famous song..!! A song introduced to me by my wonderful Mother during my childhood. I am fascinated by your Great Grandfather's voice...Absolutely beautiful. Marilyn.
I’m Marie’s mama and Bobs Grand daughter. He is so missed and cherish even after all these years. His daughter Florine ( my mom) died and both my brothers. I miss them All!!
What a great song and arrangement. That was a great period in America, when life was simpler and classy. The great Jimmy Dorsey Orchestra, there is nothing today that can match that.
Not so! There are numerous "Repertory Bands" here in the USA that still play those charts. You got to look for them, though. At least six in the metro DC region. Unions are tough on amateur bands, though . . .
On this day in 1942 {May 9th} "Tangerine" by Jimmy Dorsey peaked at #1 {for 6 weeks} on Billboard's Best Sellers chart and stay on the charts for 15 weeks... Thirty four years later in 1976 the Salsoul Orchestra covered it; their version reached #18 and spent 13 weeks on the Top 100... R.I.P. Mr. Dorsey {1904 - 1957}
I grew up in the 70s listening to Big Bands. Bob had an incredible voice and I am surprised he wasn't more famous than Frank Sinatra. Both were outstanding singers, but Bob had the looks and the personality. Keep your memories close.
In addition to the singing, I admire the vocalists' stage presence. Their facial expressions and body movements are an important part of their communication with the audience.
Thank God we can still see and play these wonderful songs. I am watching him right now on a repeat of The Joe Franklin Show 1976and he is 61. Very handsome and nice.
My dear husband was born in 1933! He’s the love of my life! And we love the big band tunes! Hope you are well and happy and still remembering our wonderful music.
@@oliviacasino8888 Thank you. I and my wife who was born 1929 are still doing alright and it is nice, that we can listen to all these old music on youtube.
awordonawing most likely the younger generations don't get a lot of the references. I was born in the wrong era I think. I was born in 67, but I should have been around for the 30s and 40s. The movies, music, cars, all speak to me.
There're always some dislikes. I often wonder if they're real or somebody's having a stupid jopke. There are things nobody could possibly dislike. Don't take any notice. May even be kids who don't like vintage jazz or pop music.
Twenty-five years later. I was a high school kid working as a bus boy at a new hot local supper club. He was at the end of his career and was the very first entertainer at this club. One of those things you just never forget. Bob Eberly.
I love the big bands and their vocalists. I didn't become acquainted with the Dorseys until I was a child in the 1950's and Helen O'connel was co-hosting the Today show with Dave Garroway. Tangerine has been a real favorite of mine for a long time. Thanks for this posting.
Bob Eberly and Helen O'Connell were an artistically perfect team and had a great friendship. I saw both perform at the Ravinia Festival outside Chicago in the 1980s I suppose and they were still at the top of their game. Helen was a smart and clever lady who knew her own talent and accomplishments. She was a realist and so thrived and survived in a tough business,
My mom would listen to this type of music when I was a kid. I never thought much about it until I heard Woody Allen’s band live. It totally blew me away! I’ve been a fan ever since.
Not bad for a girl between 19 - 21 years old, is she? No female vocalist today could even begin to hold a candle to Helen O'Connell. What class! How wonderful it must have been to have real music played and be able to dance like adults to it. Do you see why they were called "The Greatest Generation?"
Nice to hear he is still remembered. He had a fabulous voice. I never met such a sweet and loving man ( my father-in-law). His son Bob Jr. had a lovely baritone voice (a little deeper then his Dad). I miss them both.
His voice was superb
Sweet that his legacy lives on RUclips and lovely to hear from actual relatives of the great entertainers of yore preserving their memory
May 9 anniversary of 1942 when it hit #1 :)

Hello dear
How are you doing

I spend hours on RUclips searching for clips, songs, etc... you'd be surprised if you saw how many of our young people love this music if it is exposed to them in the correct context. Music is the poetry of our souls.
This cuts two ways. The younger generation thinks the same of us (I am 900.
Oh my. Older than Methuselah. Congrats. You got me beat by 818 years!
Actually, you can thank video games for getting the younger generation back into this music. While satellite radio got me started into it, a couple of very popular video games got even more kids into it.
If this were on the radio more where I live, I’d listen to it consistently.
Archie Bunker sings this song when meathead offers him money
Helen came out and I felt like I was just transported to a bandstand on Venus. ❤❤❤

That’s awesome! My grandpa Bob took me to hoo sick falls that years. I had a blast running through the corn fields!!
My all time favorite is Glenn Miller, but this is darn
Helen O'Connell has the most beautiful face shape and the filmography really makes her skin look so silky and sleak. Amazing beauty.
I was born in 59 and love this song 🎵❤
Such a beautiful classic song 🎵
Same generation as you and I discovered this music in my teens. Orchestra music (like the Tonight Show Band) was still around in the 60s, and we really weren't very far past the Big Bands. My parents caught the tail end of the Big Band era in the early to mid 50s and they talked to me about it.
My Grandpa was amazingly Talented!! I have his Banjo and I know he's my Guardian Angel. Love the comments from everyone. Thank you and God Bless
When I hear these wonderful singers it makes me think I was born in the wrong era. Love them.🤗
I'm so proud to call bob eberly my great grandfather! I wish I could have met him but my mother was close with him so I get to hear all her storys of him. from what I've heard he was the most selfless man!
WOW! Your great-grandpa had a gorgeously smooth voice. And what a cutie! Bless.

Marie Elise Oh wow!! what a wonderful comment. I would feel proud too. He sang so beautiful
this is my great grandfather as well..
Without a credit like that - granddaugher to grandfather - too often these recordings go without any mention of the singer
Golden era of music. Classic, elegant, fancy, majestic.

I do now, this stuff rocks!! Today's music lacks talent like this
I love this music 🎶too
My Dad knew Tommy Dorsey and I grew up with the Big Band music! I have always loved Helen O’Connell. What a voice and so pretty. Thank you Dad for playing this music all the time! ❤❤❤
When music was special. Came out almost 30 years before I was born but I could listen to this forever
When I was a little girl I would watch movies on TV with all this wonderful music & my mother listened to music all the time. So glad I was gifted with a love of beautiful music from all genres & eras.
I so remember my mother singing this song to me. I listened to the big band music with her. Then on 40’s on 4 after she passed

I loved all the sounds of the big bands,when I was a girl many years ago,every Sunday there was concert on which I tried not to miss.Thats what you call music.
Simply beautiful! I've loved this song since a little kid in the 50's.

How are you doing
Kinda fun imagining living during the 40's. At least it is for me. I always come back to this kinda stuff. No wonder I love TCM.
Love the Big Band Era - it brought us fabulous lyrics and melodies and stars like fabulous Doris Day, the absolutely incomprable Ella Fitzgerald together with Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Vera Lynn etc. What a time!

What a dreamy voice Bob had.

It is such beautiful music
one of my favorites. jimmy dorsey's "so rare". produced just before his passing.
What a song! From crooner to belter, it works on so many levels.
The best music ever, I miss it
Bob Eberle. What a natural voice and smooth showmanship. As an erstwhile jazz singer I loved Helen O'connell. Nice to hear this stuff again. Dad was piano for big bands so I followed with the love.
i have an emotional pain that life/talent is temporary. I love these people and their talent,
Bob Eberly can sing! And that's all that needs to be said!
Just love this song. Love the colour as well
Bob Eberly was probably one of the best male vocalists of the "Big Band Era". Others that come to mind are Dick Haymes, Art Lund, Harry Babbitt, & Buddy Clark. Little Miss Dimples, Helen O'Connell, was knock-out gorgeous and great to look at !
Beautiful. Brings tears to me
Those were the days. Was not even thought of at that time.
What a beautiful performance of this nice song. Those were the days ...
Elegant man with amazingly smooth and rich voice.

A wonderful jazz music comin' fm fifty's with a romantic n very smart singer.
Just one of many songs (including "Green Eyes" and "Amapola") featuring the great singing of Bob Eberly and Helen O'Connell. Great memories from the Big Band Era.
I was born 1955. I love this❤

I am so enamored with this music! I personally feel this is some of the most emotional, exciting, calming, and interesting music of all the eras.
Class! :)
What a period of time in the whole world dancing at this song! My goodness my heart beating like a crazy!
Great vocal voice by all time greats.
BEAUTIFUL, JUST BEAUTIFUL... I ADORE THIS MUSIC and JIMMY DORSEY....
Hello dear
Fabulous!
Bob Eberly was known as "the singer's singer", the guy that the likes of Sinatra went to see in concert and often imitate. He and his brother, Ray, never got the backing they needed to escape the big bands.
William Humenansky very ture because he was to selfless to go further because he didn't need to reach the top.. he was happy where he was. frank was his friend and at his death bed frank was there for him and payed most his hopstial bills before he died. btw I'm his great granddaughter... just so you know.
This is great! My 89 year old mother-in-law will love this. The 1940's big band era was amazing. Notice how everyone stops dancing when a HOT singer steps up!
Got to see Helen O'Connell live back in the early 80s here in Cleveland and she could still belt out a tune
Helen O'Connell, Eddie Fisher, and The boys from Philly at the Front Row. I was there, too!
And Helen O'Connell is GORGEOUS. Makes me think THAT is what Tangerine looks like. Bob Eberly was smooth as silk with that voice
what a crooner! Nice melody and nice voice and interpretation!
I love his voice so much
Helen turned my dad on who born in 1928, sad he didn't live without Vascular Dementia to love this video. Anyway, I too loved her.
My old, grampa worked in the ballroom circuit,in Southern California, and he always said that JIMMY Dorsey, was a very nice man!!
I wish I was born in my grandparents generation, just so my childhood could be filled with such tasteful music. :)
my father had the same record and i used to listen to it all the time
Marie Elise, I am so delighted that I am able to watch your wonderful great grandfather sing a most famous song..!! A song introduced to me by my wonderful Mother during my childhood. I am fascinated by your Great Grandfather's voice...Absolutely beautiful. Marilyn.

I’m Marie’s mama and Bobs Grand daughter. He is so missed and cherish even after all these years. His daughter Florine ( my mom) died and both my brothers. I miss them All!!
great song and what a super band with the best boy singer/girl singer combination of any of the big bands..thanks for posting
My mom's favorite song. What a classy rendition. The days of orchestras like this one seem sadly gone.
classically brilliant!
Omg Helen is STUNNING LOOK AT HER!!!!!
His voice just makes you melt. Sing me to sleep absolutely love his voice.
What a great song and arrangement. That was a great period in America, when life was simpler and classy. The great Jimmy Dorsey Orchestra, there is nothing today that can match that.

One of my late mothers favorite songs ! great singers , and bands from a golden era of music , talent that has gone for ever !
Oh my goodness. This is gorgeous... I just don't get how any human could not be in love with this. It's absolutely, breathtakingly, beautiful. (:
Thank God we can still see and play these wonderful songs. I am watching him right now on a repeat of The Joe Franklin Show 1976and he is 61. Very handsome and nice.
Love this! great singers, great performers and the big band era was the greatest of our American music.
BOB EBERLY = BIG SINGER,
ELEGANT, BRILLIANT
Truly a great song with a great band, and two real singers.
I always enjoyed the music in the 40s, since I was born in1933.
My dear husband was born in 1933! He’s the love of my life! And we love the big band tunes! Hope you are well and happy and still remembering our wonderful music.
@@oliviacasino8888 Thank you. I and my wife who was born 1929 are still doing alright and it is nice, that we can listen to all these old music on youtube.
