My grandfather made me play this on the old grand in the library, and he cried for my long gone grandmother. Oh how I love this song.

I'm sure they'd be delighted to know that their wonderful music had been listened to over 100,000 times, almost 100 years after being released.

Great oldie from the true golden age of recordings.

I had a heart attack yesterday and while I was dieing I heard this song. Lucky for me I lived. Nice to hear it again.

Its so sad yet somehow happy too. The simplicity of this song makes it so enjoyable. There's nothing over the top or flashy about any of it- it just paints a picture of a place and time that none of us were alive to see.

This deserves a standing ovation

I love old school music

I was searching for my ancestors in FamilySearch and this was the most popular song when my mom's grandfather was born. So cool to know about it!

My Mama (1914-1981) used to sing this in the 1950s-60s, and since she's been gone i very seldom have heard a recording of it, so i really love hearing this, it sure brings back fond early memories of her. It's sad that so many people began to quit singing just for their own entertainment the more that records, movies, radio, and then TV became widely available.

This song was a big part of my childhood and my sister still sings it. She just brought it back into my memory after 45 years and I will be singing it at my parents 60th wedding anniversary soon.

We were sailing along on Moonlight Bay We could hear the voices ringing They seemed to say "You have stolen her heart" "Now don't go 'way" As we sang love's old sweet song on Moonlight Bay (We were sailing along on Moonlight Bay) (We could hear the voices ringing) (They seemed to say) "You have stolen her heart" "Now don't go 'way" (As we sang love's old sweet song on Moonlight Bay) We were sailing along on Moonlight Bay We could hear the voices ringing They seemed to say "You have stolen her heart" "Now don't go 'way" As we sang love's old sweet song on Moonlight Bay (Sailing through the moonlight on Moonlight Bay)

**SAILING INTENSIFIES**

Damn this is old and so good how much music has changed

I like the captain's choice in music

Lyrics: Voices hum, crooning over Moonlight Bay Banjos strum, tuning while the moonbeams play All alone, unknown they find me Memories like these remind me Of the girl I left behind me Down on Moonlight Bay We were sailing along On Moonlight Bay. We could hear the voices ringing; They seemed to say, "You have stolen my heart" "Now don't go 'way! "As we sang " Love's Old Sweet Song" On Moonlight Bay Candle lights gleaming on the silent shore Lonely nights, dreaming till we meet once more Far apart, her heart, is yearning With a sigh for my returning With the light of love still burning As in days of yore We were sailing along On Moonlight Bay. We could hear the voices ringing; They seemed to say, "You have stolen my heart" "Now don't go 'way!" As we sang "Love's Old Sweet Song" On Moonlight Bay

America deserves credit for making the worlds best music from 1891-1957

I love this song

imaginate estar en 1912 en tu alcoba, leyendo un libroy escuchando en tu fonografo esta maravilla de cancion, algo magico

1912: "Just sit down, drink coffee, and read a newspaper about the Titanic catastrophe" 2022: "Sit down, play with VR, afterwards watch TV, and listen to history like this"

Precious times when you could feel music, understand them word by word. Times when entertainment was at it's peak, sadly it's all gone downhill since.

Lyrics: Voices hum crooning over Moonlight Bay Banjos strum tuning while the moonbeams play All alone, unknown, they find me Memories like these remind me Of the girl I left behind me Down on Moonlight Bay We were sailing along on Moonlight Bay We could hear the voices ringing; they seem to say You have stolen my heart Now, don't go away Just as we sang Love's old sweet song on Moonlight Bay Tender lights gleaming on the silent shore Lonely nights dreaming 'till we meet once more Far apart, her heart is yearning With a sigh for my returning With the light of love still burning passing days of yore We were sailing along on Moonlight Bay We could hear the voices ringing; they seem to say You have stolen my heart Now, don't go away Just as we sang Love's old sweet song on Moonlight Bay.

Its the first time I've heard the verse of this song! Usually it's just the chorus repeated ad infinitum.

To note that the titanic was also in service when this was recorded.

It still sounds better than much of the modern music

From an era when good melodies were important. We totally lost that.

I really love the words to this song. Never heard this group sing before they are in petfect harmony and enjoyable too. 🌹♥️

2021 still loving this music i’m going to pass this beautiful music to my grandchildren , 3am drunk vibes 🍻 n im from mexico but always loved this music much love everybody

On moonlight bay a classic

This was my great grandparents' favorite song, and I'm writing a story based around them so this recording has been invaluable.

This is the song at the end credits of Erik Matti's short film Vesuvius. Exquisite.

Gotta love the oldies 😍

Ah, I remember seeing the American Quartet in the Theatre when I was a boy. My father had took me to see them for my 14th Birthday back in 1920.

The personnel of the American Quartet changed after Moonlight Bay was recorded. I have read that John Bieling stopped singing in 1913, and William Hooley died in 1918.

How wonderful. A day and a time that moved much slower. People were mindful of how they affected other people and getting married along with looking to make something of yourself and start a family were values and standards held by all people crossing racial and ethnic boundaries. The music from that era captures the delight of life and the exploration of possibilites that the time offered. Our great great grandparents were far better people than we are today.

Very good song

This was my shit back in the day

I love this song!!!!!!!!

Much better than the music of today.

Bella canción la uso para dormir

really like this 1910s song!

kinda would be cool to live way back in the day

Only the fucking REAL ONES listen to moonlight bay fr 🔥🔥

I've come here because of the beatles. A good vocal song......now it has sense.

I don't want to be the one to say "I'm here because of 'Hey Arnold'", but this song always reminds me of it.

Good info and thank you. It's a pleasant song indeed!

My grandfather was born just a few years after this was recorded. He passed in 2009, RIP J.T.

The American Quartet - as heard in this recording - was only organized ca. 1909 and included the members listed above. The singers listed above are NOT the individuals shown in the photograph. In fact, not one of the men shown in the photograph is among those listed. They MAY be the men who made up the quartet in the early 1920s but strongly suspect that they made up some other unrelated male quartet. Not one - - Bieling, Murray, Porter or Hooley is in this photo. Bieling had retired in 1914; Hooley died in 1918; Porter remained with the group into the early 1920s - but none are present in this image. Billy Murray - lead tenor with his distinctive voice heard in this recording - - is definitely not in the photo shown above. The second image [shown at 1:57 in this recording} also shows none of the individuals heard in this recording. Regarding the statement that the American Quartet was active 1899-1925 - this is also misleading. The ca. 1901-1905 group was actually an early version of the Haydn Quartet, albeit with Albert Campbell and W.T. Leahy as the tenors. The men heard on this current title - "Moonlight Bay" were the individuals listed by the above presenter of this KZfaq offering. This ensemble only organized in 1909 and was active into the 1920s with many personnel changes. For the sake of historical accuracy - wish that the actual famous - 1909-1914 period group's photograph - the group heard on this disc - would be added/inserted as a correction. Retired, Sound Recordings Archivist, Library of Congress, 35 years - My sources include that of Jim Walsh, pioneer recordings expert who actually knew John Bieling (who died in 1947), Albert Campbell who also died in 1947, and Billy Murray - his great friend - who died in 1954. Walsh was able to interview this pioneer recording artists over a period of over 20 years, gathering information on their recording days. Yours truly, Your . . .

This is my 5 times great uncle

Nice song 😀

I love this song so much❤

La música de la época de Candy Candy (ella era adolescente en 1912)

109 Years Jeez! 😖

It’s 1912:Fenway Park opens,The Titanic has sunk,the Olympics are taking place in Stockholm,New Mexico and Arizona have just been admitted to the Union…suddenly this comes on the phonograph. 😮

Preciosisimo muchísimas gracias, una joya.

This is amazing, thank you

This song pops up occasionally in the ol’ Warner Brothers cartoons I used to watch as a kid. It came to mind suddenly and I decided to look it up. And that’s why I’m here. Anyone out there care?!?! LOL!

"wOw! nice song.. i love it"

Moonlight Bay is just AMAZING!!! and they also sing it wonderfully and beautifully too!!! Love it!!! 😄😄😄 ♥️♥️♥️♥️ But....at 2:40....does anybody know what they said?

Well done Nathaniel. I was bought here by the Doris Day, and Gordon McRae Movie.

Love it!

Que maravilla.

CaptainDisillusion anyone?

un huh!!!!! I like this old sound!!!

This is quite ditty for an old tune dating back to the early twentieth century.

Thank you Toon Link.

Wonderful

That's where The Beatles got it from...

I remember this on Hey, Arnold!

I live in the Twin Cities area, and it would be awesome if I played this while riding on the Streetcar 1300 or 265 at the Minnesota Streetcar Museum.

Love and love.

Dope. When does the music video drop?

I love your Channel

Given that they remain the absolute standard of vocal harmony euphoria, I'd recognize Billy Murray, John Bieling, Steve Porter and William F. Hooley anywhere. And that is definitely not them in the pictures in the above video clip. Nonetheless, in terms of genius level vocal harmony, this is how it's done, folks. None better. Ever.

Only 1912 kids will know

I like it................................that's really it

Who else could see this in a horror film

Almost 110 years

bravo

Very compact in the past

TITANIC 1912
