Well, lucky you. It is a very nice song for going to sleep and I bet it must be a great memory !

Gosh, what a wonderful Dad to do this. This is so very moving, in itself ! I'm nearly 82 - never found my Miss Right - but I'm still an incurable romantic !

@@gerrygeorge1468 sir, what's your advice to young people like us for relationships, finding the one or opinions on life

@@muzafferelbeyli2756 It depends where you live, Muzzaffer, to be perfectly honest. We live (thankfully) in a multicultural Village - because of enhancing communiations - so you can make friends with people on-line, That said - in my own experience - you've got make your mind up, as to how your own social background will mix with someone, on the other side of the world, who might offend your perceptions of how life should be lived. For instance, if you live in a strongly religious household, you would have difficulty in bridging the interface with someone who didn't approve of, or share that culture or those views. Now, I'm a very cosmopolitan *young-minded* and exceptionally-fit fella of 82 (and still making and directing movies), so - if I get propositioned by some unwitting young lady on here, I have got to *come-clean* and tell her what I happen to be, and how old I am; if not problems arise. In the same way - and by the way, this is reciprocal, between you and the person you like - they have to *come-clean* with you ! Otherise, it's one world, and - provided you note take exception to the many Western folks who place rather less than no importance on their Maker (as I feel they ought to), you've just got to sound-out that one too, and if they are affronted by your faith, and want to be God-less - then you will have to decide whether you could tolerate that, or not ! You see, Dear pal, Racism has nothing to do with this issue; rather it is if yo and the person you like, are going to be able to respect each other's cultures, and that way, get on together ! Best of Luck, and God Be With YOU ! Gerry George.

mine too!

+hommefriday Why we traded this music for,,,,,, Lady Gag Gag,, Mad-donna,, Amy Wine-o-house,, and Smeilly-Cyvirus,,,, is just way way too hard to imagine,,,, oi vey!!!

@@geetarnut Our culture has been deliberately corrupted and dumb-down.

The song was written by Jimmy Van Heusen & Johnny Burke for Bing's 1942 film, Road to Morocco. Its release enabled Mr. Crosby to introduce it to the world at large. Ownership however, remained with the aforementioned pair who also gave us Here's That Rainy Day, It Could Happen to You, Swinging on a Star and many others. There wasn't any whistling in the original score, no instrumental interlude whatsoever (with or without intermittent vocal lines) and you can toss a coin and credit the tag at the end here to either Bing or the arranger. It didn't hail from Mr. Van Heusen's pen. Every singer and musician outside of the classical field personalizes their efforts with what you dismissed as "embellishments." Bing had a rather colorful assortment himself. Witness his performance of Well Did You Evah with Mr. S in High Society. He unleashes one and Sinatra admonishes him with "don't dig that kind of croonin' chum." Critiques are best to the critics who often don't know what their talking about either. "Tis better to simply enjoy the music. The direction of one's thumb in regard to this or that performance has no impact on the ear of another listener. Not even yours.

Still going… He is Sensei in Master of song presentation… And just everything else. I actually think he’s underrated but then the soul was John candy and he couldn’t even sing.

I love this song. There's a certain sweetness about it, and it complements Bing's voice completely. It has a lullaby-like quality to it. I would love to have been Dorothy Lamour in that scene.

је ли то жена из Тачно у подне,која је била заљубљена у Гарија Купера?

+Aussiemarco My sentiments exactly!!! I havn't been to a movie since around 1997!!! It's nothing but absolute trash to put it mildly! Here you have Dorothy Lamour just being beautiful, NOT slutty,,, just plain beautiful! And Bing Crosby being a gentleman about the whole thing!!! There was NO NEED to sexualize what is supposed to be romantic!!! Cheers!!!

+Sonny Cannon It's sad. The difference between 20xx sexuality and 1940's sensuality is the difference between Everclear and a soft rose wine.

Agreed. Completely.

+indy_go_blue60 what a warm and lovely memory. my sincerest condolences to you.

So touching ! This is a lovely Bing-number...as well as an affectionate-memory of your Dear Dad !

+John Palazzini Well,,, actually,,, they're not gone!!! It's really up to each and every one of us to choose to live that experience! Love and real happiness are as alive as we make them!!! Peace!!!

Yes.....the era is gone....the days you can make for yourself, as you pointed out. Thanks!

John, are you aware, that at the very same time as Bing was singing,, England, France, and Germany were slaughtering millions of people,, and the Japanese were "just about" to bomb Pearl Harbor??!?? Seems impossible, doesn't it!?!? It really is up to us,,, to be loving and kind,, to,,,, "ZZZINGGG LIKE THE BBINNGGG,,,just as he does here! War,, or NO war!

Sonny Cannon Yes I am....and you're so right!!! War or no war great music was being made....

Hi John, thank you! Love is everything in life! Life in fact can not exist, factually speaking,, without love! Hmmmm,, makes you wonder,, that's exactly what Christ taught, in his famous, "sermon on the mount"! Love makes men do incredible things! And,, without love,, man is nothing,,, he is barely the vapor he breathes in,,,,,,,,,,,*

+ClassyOldMusic Yes! You're so right! The beauty that comes from purity of heart, is beyond description! It's alive, and it's available to us all the time!!! Thanks for a great comment!!!

I beg to differ. Crosby is remembered as one of the greatest - if not THE greatest - crooners of all time. Cultural references to him are very common, and "White Christmas" is an annual event.

I PROMISE you weren't... :)

I dunno. l like the internet. and penicillin

+Hana Cooper Penicillin?!?! Oi vey,, we have a lot of bad behavior today that needs penicillin,, that's for sure! And a bunch of OTHER medical treatments too!!!

+Hana Cooper , you could provide it from 42' ...penicillin!

Savannah White as little no as you know and appreciate things like this everything will be all right

I hope you still love it. Your generation needs to keep my Mom's generation's music from being completely forgotten. Somebody has to carry it on.
