I have tried to make video clips fit the song instead of just pictures, therefore it is not always quite in sync. However the recorded music is worth a listen.

Songs like this are no longer written. Music today has to be atonal and raucous to appeal to younger listeners. We're fortunate to live in an age when there are quality recordings of melodious tunes and pleasant voices from the distant past. A hundred years from now these songs will still be played. I can't say the same for most of today's music.

My grandpa was born in 1942 when this song was released. After he passed away, I would often picture him in my dreams walking around town and he would be young and this song would play in the background, he had really good style back in the day. He was so adorable and happy every time he would come and say hi to me, it used to warm my heart by a lot. I miss him so much everyday and will always remember the amount of joy that comes into his face whenever I see him. I love you Grandpa

@Hutzjohn9 жыл бұрын
Yes I remember someone was being interviewed and he said Harry would walk in just minutes before his show and just go out, pick up his trumpet and just play because he did not need a warm-up. It was some musician from that era and he said Harry was that good, and he didn't know any other musician that could do that. So Harry was arguably the best trumpet player ever.

One of the big ones in an era of big ones. Arguable Harry and Les Brown closed out the big band era. Ellington, Goodman, Basie, Dorsey, Chuck Webb, Artic Shaw and others got it rolling. Krupa with Eldridge and O'Day were big too. Guys like Harry, Woody Herman, Ellington, Basie and later Kenton, Maynard Ferguson, Buddy Rich, Thad Jones kept it thriving until they passed. Nothing more exciting than a great brass section. All distant memories of a time passed

No electrics, no technical gimmicks, no background helpers... needed. Sometimes, they didn't even have notes, then they played head arrangements. I'm not kidding! They didn't have fancy clothes, they didn't dance, there was no refined camera and blue box work to pep up the performance. They just made music. Incredible, isn't it?
