I just loved the unforgettable songs sung in this upload from Orchestra Wives. This movie dates back to my parents time and we kids recall my mother singing all these old golden tunes. "At Last" and "I know why and so do you" brought tears to my eyes remembering the past and those good old golden years that will never come back. But, these lovely videos live on and are a constant reminder to the golden years of Hollywood. Oh, yes, George Montgomery looked very handsome and, he was my mother's heart-throb.
It breaks my heart that Tex Beneke died in a nursing home in Cost Mesa less then 5 min. from my house and I did not know it. Had I know I would have been there ever day for this man.
Yes! Plus Jackie Gleason pretending to play the bass fiddle, and Harry Morgan (Dragnet, M*A*S*H) as a soda-jerk. Fox often had a few members of its "actors' stable" as performers in musicals. Most of course had their parts dubbed but a few who had musical training did their own work.
Bummer the woman singing was lip synching. That’s Lynne Bari sex symbol of those days. Regardless Glenn Miller is such great musicianship. And I make EDM music … there so much to learn about rythmn from glen miller. I can’t believe he died in the war when trying to perform there in Europe .
Lynn Bari was a competent but undistinguished singer. The suits at Fox felt a pro was needed so they brought in Pat Friday, one of their studio vocalists, to dub Lynn's parts in both this and _Sun Valley Serenade._ Sadly Pat didn't get credit for decades but lived long enough (age 95!) to finally be recognized for her contributions. She was the honoree at one of the annual Glenn Miller Festivals held in his birthplace, Clarinda IA. Miller had an almost fanatical dedication to "getting things right", whether it was music or management ... which sadly helped lead to his untimely demise. The AAF Orchestra was scheduled to transfer to Paris on Dec. 18, 1944 with Miller going over in advance to complete preparations. Frustrated by days of weather-related delays, Maj. Miller accepted an offer to hitch a ride with a poker buddy who was willing to risk an off-the-books flight. Around 2010 historians from the University of Colorado undertook an extensive investigation into what happened next. To briefly summarize the findings: > Contrary to what had been proposed in the 1980s, the plane wasn't hit by dropped RAF ordnance. It was on the standard non-combat route to Paris, too far south to have been anywhere near the returning bombers. > The plane's fuel system had a litany of issues related to carburetor icing. However due to wartime priorities and shortages it was only patched, but never fully repaired. > The plane's pilot agreed to take the flight despite not being fully qualified for bad-weather travel. While there's no 100% proof, the circumstances strongly point to the crash being caused by mechanical failure, pilot error, or both. 😢😢
Has anyone noticed that the bass player is none other than Jackie Gleason? A wonderful musician, he could do so many things besides being a funny TV star.
Glenn played this version, The Edgar Hayes version, several times in the summer of 1939. But the (now) famous riff dates back into the 1920s. I had a chance to interview Paul Tanner at length--like eight hours--in 2002. His recollection was that the cuts began to emerge as they played it. MacGregor wrote the harmonic at the end. There will always be the question of whether Eddie Durham introduced the brass peddle-stops after the trumpet solo. Paul believed that Durham did not do so. I don't know what the manuscript trail shows regarding them and I would not be qualified to assess them.. Glenn, apparently, was the one who said "we can do a sax battle" right here, but it was the bandsmen who initially suggested cutting the second theme. Glenn did so while adding a brief transition. Paul and I had another long talk in 2004 and he told me at that time that Chummy MacGregor's recollection was probably closest to what actually happened.
This is REAL music! I wish we still had it on the popular scene today instead of the junk you always hear. I wonder if Glenn Miller realized he had created one of the most recognized songs on the planet when he recorded this.
Una de mis favoritas. Ésta musica en un ensueño Musical su escucha. Cuan gratificante es para mi escuchar ésta musica. Gracias por ello. Desde Caracas - Venezuela. JvB.
- Итак, вопрос: Господин Козлов, изменяет ли вам ваша жена? - Досрочный ответ, господин Ведущий! Нет! - Ваш ответ понятен, господин Козлов. А теперь правильный ответ, внимание на экран!
Fox liked to "salt" films with younger members of their acting stable. You can find a LOT of future stars hiding in these films. FWIW Gleason and Romero were dubbed by the band's actual musicians, Doc Goldberg and Moe Purtill respectively.
