Simply stunning. As was everything else she did. Ah, Hollywood, you were once so classy and glamorous. What a sad and tragic parody of yourself you've become. Gloria, you moved me to tears this morning, thank you. I know this song as an arrangement for theatre organ. It never fails to get a rousing cheer when I play it.
As far as I can hear: One fragrant memory may mould a destiny, One regret may dim life's sunshine, Those precious moments cherished through the years Cause us to sigh through their tears. Love, your magic spell is everywhere, Love, I knew you well and found you fair, Then you left me and I laughed at fate, Now I ask is it too late. Love, your melody is in the air, Yet, I call you and you are not there, Come, here is my heart, my soul to mate, Make me forget the voice that whispers "Wait".
True talent, great beauty, she was the Queen of Hollywood.Today in an era of lookalikes ,botox and silicone, and marginal talent where have we gone wrong?
Merv Griffin gave Gloria Swanson the proper introduction, said she was responsible for Hollywood being what it is today, maybe part hyperbole but a good part of it is fact in my opinion

Over the top, ecstatic romanticism, superbly performed.
At first, Miss Swanson wanted to be an operetta singer. The feelings of her beautiful voice are so intense.
She really was a Star.!!

Gloria Swanson was THE star of the 1920s. But will forever remembered as a 50 year old has been in the haunting "Sunset Boulevard."
What a pleasant suprise:-)
Wonderful!
Recorded on August 3, 1929.
Thanks for the lyrics. Some of it is hard to make out.
Also, later recordings of this song deleted some of the lyrics.
is there anything this woman didn't do well? Superb
