for those of you who are wondering about what this movie is and who is singing it.. Wikipedia is always to our rescue! There Will Never Be Another You" is a popular song with music by Harry Warren and lyrics by Mack Gordon that was written for the Twentieth Century Fox musical Iceland (1942) starring Sonja Henie and John Payne. The songs in the film featured Joan Merrill accompanied by Sammy Kaye and His Orchestra. The song was published in 1942
Joan Merrill had the most amazing voice I have ever heard. Her range, her deep power... you can't teach that. It's a gift. I first heard her while listening to an Old Time Radio show, the Charlie McCarthy show with Edgar Bergen where she was the featured vocalist. Once I heard that voice, I began a search to hear more. Thankfully you can hear more of Joan as the Internet Archive has a bunch of those shows, and her recordings.

You're very welcome, my ambition was to track down original versions for the songs that get played at jazz jam sessions, to go to the source. But I got a bit distracted over the years. All in due time I suppose :)
@@johnmatelski6413 What a wonderful idea because it's fascinating how far these songs have travelled through time with the kind of staying that was until that time reserved for classical music. To juxtapose this original with say, Arturo Sandoval's version (which I'll post below) is a musical delight for me. I expect that the standards like this are such perfectly-written masterpieces, really, that they will be with us--in some form or another-- for decades to come; shall we say, centuries? Many thanks. J Here's one of my favourite version of the song: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-z1nOfbQ_GwU.html
A great song that needed to be sung by Nat King Cole to bring out it's greatness. What's missing from this performance is the poignant introduction: "This is our last dance together, tonight soon will be long ago; and in our moment of parting, this is all I want you to know:"
It was a few years ago, I googled something like 'watch iceland joan merrill 1942 online free' ... though I just tried again and didn't find any links that work...but it seems like you can buy it from amazon or best buy :)
Who's the singer and what movie is it from? When the singer walks toward the audience, the 2 guys are in uniform so I guess the film was made during World War II.
Yes! To my knowledge this is the OG. It's another channel of mine, I was trying to find the earliest/original versions songs that have become jazz standards that everyone learning jazz knows and get called at jam sessions. I didn't get too far, just another you , and I'll remember april. I had stella by starlight for a while but I think it got removed for copyright b/c it is a bit newer.
