What a lovely, interesting voice! You can hear she straddles the genre of the 1920s/30s broad Vaudeville style and the smoother, more sonorous Jazz style of the late 30s and 40s.
@@larryjohnson6385 Quite right. A few examples such as The Beatles-Ain´t She Sweet, Tiny Tim-Tiptoe Thru the Tulips with me, Herman´s Hermits- I´m Henry the Eight I Am plus scores more ...
I love the songs of the 1930s- the British dance bands remain my favorites - wonderful singers and music - if was pushed to name its two greatest talents - simple - Al Bowlly and Elisie Carlisle
WOW thanks so much for the upload. TH-cam is such a beautiful thing that allows us to listen to this music. There is no other version of this song that exists besides on ol' 78s.
It was a huge hit for the Platters in 1959, and a very young (well, about 27, which is young for her, considering she'll be 90 this year!) Nana Mouskouri recorded it (rather nicely IMO) in 1962: th-cam.com/video/0yA0fWBZwdk/w-d-xo.html
Haven't heard this recording. I do remember Irene Dunn Singing it in a movie.... Robeta's, I believe with Fred and Ginger. They performed Loveky to Look At and others. Smoke Gets I'm Your Eyes was my favorite Jerry Kern song.
Every time I listen to a recording by Elsie, I sometimes think "is this the very best one that she ever made?". Well, on mature reflection, I'm pretty well sure that this one is! Thanks so much for posting this. You are doing a grand job!
This reminds me of the end of the "Great Gatsby" Era. The idealistic fantasy of love begins with a whirl only to end in a whimper. The smoke getting in our eyes after years of life realities hitting us daily.
Да, есть с чем сравнить на сегодня. Лидия Роберти, например, на голову сильнее Стоцкой в Чикаго. И песня прям под ее энергетику. Жаль, что она прожила так мало.
@@PhaaschhThanks - hence the “orchestral accompaniment” on the record label. Al Bowlly had similar anonimity (“vocal accompaniment”) on quite a number of his recordings.
Unfortunately the great Australian singer Judith Durham never recorded this song, since it would be perfect for her wide range voice and bell like resounding power.
See the notes to this clip! Jerome Kern (music) and Otto Harbach (words), for their show Roberta 1933; this recording 1934; Platters 1959; Nana Mouskouri 1962; many others …
Hmm. This is pretty good quality for 1934, but the recorded voice goes back a lot further, and I'm not talking just novelties like the spoken Edison.

My God, this is beautiful. An amazing voice lost to most of the world. That is so sad.
Thankfully she is still adored by some
I'm still here in 2024
Not at all lost. Elsie was a really great vocalist, admired by thousands. She still has a huge following, and a much admired recorded legacy.
Its magic to hear this singer even when our parent not yet born.GOD BLESS
my father was born in '34 :)
Mine were
my mom in 1915 and pop in 1917..methinks you refer to another generation.
My dad - 1928
Speak for yourself. Dad, 1921; Mother, 1925.
I'll say our grandparents and great-grandparents could dance to sweet a beautiful songs!
It's always been a difficult song to sing but Elsie did a stupendous job here!
Amazing sound quality. I was not prepared for that at all. Thanks for sharing this gem.

Amazing, the gems you come across on TH-cam.
Had it not been for her song, I would have not have fallen in love. Been married for 30 years and, guess what, I still love the bastard....
What a lovely, interesting voice! You can hear she straddles the genre of the 1920s/30s broad Vaudeville style and the smoother, more sonorous Jazz style of the late 30s and 40s.
Always amazed and surprised that this song is so early before the sixties .
Mostly all the songs we listened to in the ‘60’s were older songs😂😂😂
This is a perfect example
American music began to die in the early 60s. We forgot melody and harmony, and from then on only rhythm was important.

The Platters' version was 50s, not 60s.
Escuchar el canto de esta dama, es regresar a un pasado romántico y hermoso que no volverá !!!!!!

So true, friend. Two of the best ever! Regards.
Poor Al, that wonderful, warm voice, snuffed out by a Luftwaffa bomb.
This is beautiful and wonderful.
I heard this with the platters which was great too.
😊
Had no idea this song was so old. Beautiful!

Thé beautiful Time! Thanks you for this good memory!
I am just amaze at these forgotten gems .it's beautiful nomatter who you are

UNA PRECIOSA VOZ PARA UNA BELLA CANCION
Господи какая красота, неужели были времена такой чудесной музыки, такой любви и чувств. ❤❤❤. Это восторг ❤❤❤
Very beautiful!
A surperb rendition.Encore Maestro.
lovely voice
Wooowwww! Bellísimo!
Que hermosa canción.
Quelle belle voix de micheline de Montréal QC Canada ❤😂😊🎉
A treasure, thanks for posting This ☺️
Superb😊❤
This reminds me of the end of the "Great Gatsby" Era. The idealistic fantasy of love begins with a whirl only to end in a whimper. The smoke getting in our eyes after years of life realities hitting us daily.
charming and lovely
Good song
Great cover by Elsie :)
A moment from the past ❤
🤔❣️Thank you!
Как интересно слышать голоса с прошлой ,золотой эпохи .😊
Да, есть с чем сравнить на сегодня. Лидия Роберти, например, на голову сильнее Стоцкой в Чикаго. И песня прям под ее энергетику. Жаль, что она прожила так мало.
wow what a version
One of the classics of this era. Is there any information on the band?
I’ve heard she’s a very distant great auntie of mine 😳🥺☺️ I was born Carlisle,gona do some investigating into it.
It would be a studio group, brought together just for the session, with whoever happened to be available on the day. Rather unromantic, really.
@@PhaaschhThanks - hence the “orchestral accompaniment” on the record label. Al Bowlly had similar anonimity (“vocal accompaniment”) on quite a number of his recordings.
Surely it was Ambrose and his orchestra?
my radio.
Que hermoso gracias
Her enunciation is superb, and so clear. I still prefer the Platters.
Wow!
In this recording i heard a lighter strike as the Recording was commencing .I assume it was Alexandros Kozák as he played the recording .
Do you like this version compared to platers?
Do you mean 'The Platters'?
Excellent version of this song and doesn’t sound dated.
Honestly, it REALLY sounds dated to me, in every respect one could imagine.
Respectfully.😊
I want it to sound dated, modern day isn't the decider of things anymore. The past is better, and the present can't admit it.
Considering it was recorded just the year after the show for which it was written, it should sound "right"!
Essa mulher canta muito, mas a versão na voz do The platters é insuperável.
Try Connie Boswell's version.
lindas musicas imortais
Sur le film à relancer dans l’air la magie de la vie malgré tout
once upon a time, When woman blended into angel
And dance in the light of the moon 🌙 - 🥀
wow, okay ❤
Unfortunately the great Australian singer Judith Durham never recorded this song, since it would be perfect for her wide range voice and bell like resounding power.
There are so many songs it is a pity Judith didn't record. I agree - she'd have done this one justice.
What a cute woman.
Not anymore
Was she in the original production? (Was that in UK or US?)
In this instance, she was only a recording artist.
@@agkozak Thanks.
A nice Foxtrot.
Thought it was a Platters original not 90 years ago
This version isn't the original either. Gertrude Niesen did the original in 1933.
Unfortunately for any other singers, The Platters version cannot be topped.
It's a matter of opinion. For me this is Elsie's song, no one else comes close! She was so lovely and gives it a touch of wistful nostalgia.
To my love,😍
I thought the Platters wrote this song.
LOL!
See the notes to this clip! Jerome Kern (music) and Otto Harbach (words), for their show Roberta 1933; this recording 1934; Platters 1959; Nana Mouskouri 1962; many others …
The platters actually did the original but this one is amazing too!
She pre-dates the Platters! This was recorded in the 1930's, the Platters version in the 1950's!
This may be the oldest song I've had the honor of hearing.
Really, lol? Wow
Hmm. This is pretty good quality for 1934, but the recorded voice goes back a lot further, and I'm not talking just novelties like the spoken Edison. I have a 1916 Florrie Forde, and if you've ever heard the original (Charles Penrose) "Laughing Policeman", you may not have realised that's from 1926. Gracie Fields 1931 and '4 …
oh my god i thought platters will original ,,but there is first
By a quarter of a century!
Yes. I'm gay.
I don't care. This recording is so amazing that is all that counts.
no one gives
I'm a straight woman.
😅
I knew that when I heard you giggle.
So?
I prefer Thelonious Monk's version.
Oh, groan............
Tony Williams did this song so much justice. This is a waste of beautiful lyrics. Thank God for The Platters.
