Classics and overlooked gems from Helen O'Connell and friends.
Helen O'Connell (1941) Arthur Murray Taught Me Dancing In A Hurry w/ The Jimmy Dorsey Orchestra
Funny, witty and extremely swinging. This song, along with Tangerine and I Remember You, was written by Johnny Mercer and Victor Schertzinger for the movie the Fleet's In. Jimmy's band, coming off the heels of several million selling records, was offered the highest price yet paid to a band to secure their appearance in a Hollywood movie. Exceeding Glenn Miller's record. Helen's version is unequaled in its humor, subtlety and sheer showstopping quality. No other band singer of the era could have pulled this off.

I See Your Face Before Me - Helen O'Connell
Просмотров 8 тыс.8 лет назад
Helen O'Connell's 'I See You Face before Me' is one of the top renditions of this Arthur Schwartz and Howard Dietz American Songbook classic. The same composer's gave us the memorable 'Dancing in The Dark'(Artie Shaw). This recording was done with a nine piece 'cool jazz' orchestra which in fact included some members of Artie Shaw's classic Gramercy Five.

Helen sings with a 40s era piano, bass, and guitar trio. Her style of singing was perfect for an intimate small group and helped inspire some of the great piano trios of the 40s, such as the one led by Charles Brown.

They would turn the room on its head with this number. The lyrics, the rhythm and above all Helen's singing make for a quite infectious record. It was a huge hit in 1940.
Helen O'Connell / Just For A Thrill (1940) / w/The Jimmy Dorsey Orchestra

An elegant dance band side, and one of the earlier versions of the Lil Hardin classic later made famous by Ray Charles. This rare recording from 1940, has exceptionally good sound. It's even rarer because it's the only version that contains some added lyrics from the songwriting team of Gene De Paul and Don Raye of "Star Eyes", "I Remember April" fame.
Helen O'Connell / AU REET (1941) / w/The Jimmy Dorsey Orchestra

This band had an amazing range. From the romantic, to the funny, to the absolutely infectious swing of tunes like this one.
Helen O'Connell / One Sweet Letter From You (1939) / w/The Jimmy Dorsey Orchestra

This has long been my favorite, the whole band is in a pure jazz mode on this one. From Jimmy's long 20s-style clarinet solo to Bobby Byrne's trombone obbligato, to a nice tenor solo towards the end. Helen blends her voice beautifully on this her best early jazz recording.

The very best of 1941 with The Jimmy Dorsey Orchestra. A smooth, romantic follow up to Green Eyes.

An early and impressive jazz side from Helen that includes one of Jimmy's best solos and a nice trombone obbligato by Bobby Byrne. This version from 1939 was the second highest charting of all time.
This sing is caribbean...❤❤❤
My impression of young people in England is that many, more than you might expect, do know of and appreciate music from past eras.
ont a fait un grand saut en arrière pour découvrir un excellent orchestre et une belle musique
Sublime cute kitten , jitter bugger , thanks sweety. 🎉🎉🎉❤
i grew up with this, 40's
my mom used to sing this when shes cooking...miss them both
Just to think.. Imagine if Bob Eberly hadn't been called up for military service; he might've been as big as Frank Sinatra.. Just supposing'..
WOW after all these years she's still fabulous
life in the 40s-80's looked so much more full of culture and just overall less lame than today
As a young lad only 14 im glad i asked my dad what era this music was in. And i have found my soul.
Helen was pure class!
When music was music and singers had dignity.
When America had class and style, people were mostly European decent, America was well respected and admired. But now😥😥😥
Bob had a wonderful voice.
When the sun comes out And that rain stops beatin' on my windowpane When the sun comes out There'll be bluebirds 'round my door Singin' like they did before That old storm broke out And my man walked off and left me in the rain Though he's gone, I doubt If he'll stay away for good I'd stop living if he should Love is funny It's not always peaches, cream and honey Just when everything looked bright and sunny Suddenly the cyclone came I'll never be the same Till that sun comes out And that rain stops beatin' on my windowpane If my heart holds out Let it rain and let it pour It may not be long before There's a knockin' at my door Then you'll know the one I love walked in When the sun comes out
To put u back in ur place
Beautiful!
My man bill had a fit over this song my customer sang this to me at the bar and my bill had a jealous fit all these years now I see what my customer ment
I first heard Star Eyes sung by Mary Mayo on the 1963 album Moon Gas by Dick Hyman. What a voice! Warm at the low end, clear and piercing at the top. Her two-octave finish is fabulous. Hyman wanted to make electronic music that was accessible and playable live. Star Eyes has the same problem as the rest of the tunes on the album": It's too short. I wish they would have stretched out on all the tunes and made it a double album.
Some great west coast swing there from the kids! Tangerine has always been a favorite and this version is sublime. What a great clip. Thanks!
During the 60s when our young people rediscovered the great songs, dress, and dances of the 1940s, this was played loud and played often.
Andrea Bocelli made a beautiful version of this song.
Best version of this great song.
The intro sounds a little like Tetris.
Something about this makes me more depressed 😔 i think its just the feeling of how long ago it was or something. So sad to me even though they in heaven now 😢
Fantastic clarinet part. But they were just kids! Did they know what was going on in the war? Probably not. That music is turning me into a jazzman!
Siguen siendo rutilantes estrellas,maravillosa e inolvidable música.
I’m here because of andrea
If you remember the time and memories that's a great song in any year I enjoyed yours 😂😂
A bygone era, which sadly, we will never experience again and we will be poorer for it. Jimmy Dorsey Green Eyes and Artie Shaw's Begin the Beguine were my Mum & Dads favourite tunes. I grew up with the big bands and I still gravitate back to escape the 'noise' of modern music.
Her voice matured into this song as the years went by and she really did a great job on this recording. So good!
There's a pawn shop 0n the corner in Pitsberg Pensylvania
This song makes me miss him so much! I’m bob Eberly’s grand daughter. He named me at birth. We always had a strong connection. He was taken Way too early!
Un cântec profund și frumos! Păcat că omul își uită repede valorile, dar poate că sunt și greu de apărat, cu atâta iluzie în jur...
He was out of tune , Helen was the best .
This is not Dean Martin??
Loved it!
very good ~~~!!
What a pearl !
Oh Helen...................
Yes, love her voice, but that dimple, is a killer !
Beautiful song , Beautiful Voice.. 💖 🎶 🌹 Timeless music..
You Made Me Love You on ukelele ruclips.net/video/LL_EsalTLkY/видео.htmlsi=-w0jskRuXU6Fc8Ur
Loved this at the beginning of one of Miss Marples cases Towards Zero
I don't know what it is about this type of music I've been captivated by it since I heard this type of music something in it just resonates with me so well it's all a masterpiece I must say ❤
In Wisconsin and the upper peninsula of Michigan please listen to Door County radio 93.9 FM Denny Ferrel Big Band Showcase Sunday night at 9 PM EST
I played this song for years My Cordovox and one of the best drummers I had the pleasure to sit on Stage with Bill Cairo,Started out as a Rhumba beat then with a musical drum break Went right into a Big Band Swing Beat I really miss those Days 🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🪗
When music was Entertaining and could be enjoyed by Every age you just had to Listen ❤❤
I like her voice just nice to music tricks just a voice off class sadly not around today .
Cute song! Kind of think that people in 2024 would be mystified by lyrics: " Have you ever been embarrassed when you're in a smart Cafe and they play a Cuban tempo, is your dancing quite passe."
