I just wanted to start off by saying I'm sorry for your loss and hope your mom lived a grate life. Secondly you should listen to a version of this song that came out this year by lola kirke, I think her voice is beautiful in it.
Kate Smith sings the song the way it is intended to be sung. No drama, no flourish--just plain and simple. It is a song of yearning, a song of death--so low key is the best mode. A superb rendition.
My grandmother would tear up when she heard this song. She was a young widow with a child, and her husband died of an infection. But she didn't run back to her parents, she stayed in her house, and she got a job. Years later, she met a man who could make her laugh, and he became our step-grandfather, the only grandfather we kids ever knew.
About a week ago I started having a hazy memory of this song from my really young childhood, I looked up the words, and remembered that my mom used to sing this to me
Kate Smith was titled The First Lady of Radio, in an era before TV stole our imaginations and gave us flickering images. She held the hearts of the world, and people my age grew up with her songs. This beautiful soul never married, and after a long illness, died a lonely death.
My Grandmother always sang this to us. Adore this song. Brings me right back to her singing this to us. She went to heaven December 21st and I always listen on this day. I always sing to my nieces and nephews and now my great nieces and nephews
Beautifully done as only Kate Smith could sing it. My grandmother resembled her and could sing just as lovely. When I heard this it brought tears to my eyes.
I can remember as a little girl seeing this lady on TV I love this lady and I love this song when I was a kid is Manchester School in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania we always took a week and gave credit to Stephen Foster for being in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania he was a true genius rest in power Stephen Foster
Miss Kate. satutoo lang ay marami na kayong nagsiawit niyan. Subalit kaiba sainyo lahat c miss Mandy. lubhang madamdamin ang knyang pagkaawit Frank Agustin
At kung uulinigin mo ang tinig ni Miss Mandy madarama mo sa knyang pag awit ay kasabay ang pagpatak ng knyang luha habang inaawit niya iyan. Frank Agustin..
I am pretty sure whenever I hear the song in my head this is the voice I think of. idk who she is but I remember hearing this song in a cartoon as a youngster and this is the voice that most closely resembles what I listened to. all other covers seem far off
