This is the "original" version of "At Last". The song was written for the Glenn Miller Orchestra, and was first played in the movie "Orchestra Wives", 1942. Vocals by Ray Eberle and Pat Friday (dubbing for Lynn Bari). Etta James lhad a smash hit with it in the 60's and Beyonce sang it in the movie Cadillac Records and Obama's innaugaration

Oh damn, this original version of "At Last" is wonderful. Then Etta James' version took it to another level as well. I was born in 1950, a bit too late for romantic music like this to be part of my youth. ... This was my parent's generation's music to fall in love to. Love it !

This is the outdoor concert scene from the 1942 20th Century Fox film musical Orchestra Wives. The first song played is the instrumental "Boom Shot" which is followed by the encore "At Last" performed in the duet version with vocals by Ray Eberle and Pat Friday (lip-synched by Lynn Bari in the film). "Boom Shot" is played on the Wurlitzer juke box and then at the open air concert featuring Harry Morgan as soda jerk Cully Anderson and Ann Rutherford as Connie Ward. They go to see the Gene Morrison Orchestra featuring George Montgomery as Bill Abbott on trumpet. After performing "Boom Shot" the band leaves the stage. The audience is still on their feet. The band returns to play an encore, "At Last" featuring Ray Eberle and Lynn Bari (overdubbed by Pat Friday). "At Last" was composed by Harry Warren, music, and Mack Gordon, lyrics. Glenn Miller first recorded the song in 1941. "At Last" first appeared in the 1941 film Sun Valley Serenade in an instrumental version performed by Glenn Miller in the cafe scene after the 1941 version of "In the Mood" is played. "At Last" is also played as background music in Sun Valley Serenade and during the final ice skating scene but without the lyrics. John Payne and Pat Friday recorded a version with vocals with the Glenn Miller Orchestra in 1941 for the movie but the song was not used in that film.

Ah yes, the Big Band Era, big dance crowd so the songs had a long intro by the band before the singer started, like above, and like Sinatra with Tommy Dorsey also.

At last my love has come along My lonely days are over And life is like a song At last, the skies above are blue My heart was wrapped in clover The night I looked at you I found a dream that i can speak to A dream that i can call my own I found a thrill to press my cheek to A thrill i've never known You smiled, and then the spell was cast And here we are in heaven For you are mine, at last

Some people hate on different renditions. I long for the era when several different musicians would perform the same song in their style. Example: Ella Fitzgerald right alongside Patsy Cline right alongside Frank Sinatra. All three of them can carry the same songs. ...amazing to hear the delightful differences like how various artists used to perform songs from the great American songbook you know. Now it’s like everyone’s just comparing one against the other and no one has the freedom to just do their own thing.

+Sylvia Carlson You're correct. Pat Friday (née Freitag) was a studio vocalist who dubbed a number of actors who weren't also singers, a bit like Marni Nixon "ghosting" for Audrey Hepburn and others. OTOH John Payne was also a trained singer and did his own vocals.

Preciously beautiful music. In Chicago, from 1966 until 1972, I listened to it being played on WGN's "Meisterbrau Showcase," MC'ed by the late Franklyn MacCormack. During the long nights as a graphical illustrator, I worked for a large consulting and engineering firm known as Barton-Aschman & Assoc., Inc. I think they allowed me as much overtime as I could tolerate. I often had more overtime, than regular hours. That big band music and Franklyn MacCormack made it very pleasant. In 08/01/1972, I moved to Panama City, Florida...
