My Mom told me that I was named after this song. She and my Dad loved the song so much that they named me after it. 😊 I only came to know about it a few years ago (about 2 years before my Mom died), so I immediately searched for a copy of the song. I found several versions but I loved the short version of Bing Crosby and Rosemary Clooney. Thanks for posting this version. ❤
Daniel, it's my very great pleasure! It's just great music and performance that indeed does illuminate shadows. I'm glad you found this, and thank you for commenting! Best Regards, David
@gnveelbtrn Well, Genevieve, Thank You for your comments! Love the name. Love the song, too--Shaw does just superbly with it. Best Regards, and Happy New Year! David
My dear mother in heaven, was named genoveva in spanish becouse st. genevieve saint day is january 3rd. When i was little she used to tell me there was a song after her name, sinse she didnt speak english she would mimic the words. Now I 'am 70 yrs old and for the first time i heard the song, it is a wonderful song, and i'am crying becouse i think of her and i want to say, mama look i found your song..
Norma, I must admit I'm deeply touched by your story! I'm so glad that you found this song, and for the memories it connected. Your words grace my post, and I thank you! Best Regards, David
Hello Jon Cassell, and thanks for visiting and commenting! This album is one of the most commented upon that I've posted. The RSC truly was one of a kind. Best Regards, David
My grandmother was named for this song, and I was named for her. I still remember Granny Genevieve playing this on piano well into her 80s (she could play everything by ear and at one point she played for the silent films) while my grandfather Jerry sang along. Made me cry every time. This is a beautiful version. Thank you for sharing.
I've never met a "Genevieve" that I didn't fall in love with. Remarkable. Could it be because of this song, which, of course, I've known my whole life? I wonder. . .

Thanks for visiting! This is a great album. I wonder what Jimmy Durante would do with this--satisfying, I'm sure, with his own unique touch. Best Regards, David
I like the old sweet songs best. Not like that junk now a days. Wouldn't this be great by Jimmy Durante? He did such marvelous things with sweet love songs and his gravelly voice.
