    The combination of Ray Eberly,classic and serene followed by the fabulous, silky swing of Helen O'Conell in "Green eyes" I first heard in 1962, I was 16,and I loved it, as I still do today.

    This kind of music is older than l am
    I have a huge appetite for this kind of music.
    My taste is broad.
    I also listen to free jazz, bebop and jazz fusion.

      Your mother was a great beauty and a great talent. My mother was born about 3 months after yours (8/15/1920) and told me that "Green Eyes" was the song she associated with the time when she and my father were dating (early 1940s).

      It would be nice if you could tell us about any interesting memories your mom had about her career. She must have had a lot of stories about people she worked with or things that happen back in "The Old Days". You could use the "Discussion" tab on your TH-cam channel.

    "Green Eyes" is a popular song originally written in Spanish under the title "Aquellos Ojos Verdes" ("Those Green Eyes") by Cuban tenor Adolfo Utreta and Cuban pianist Nilo Menendez in 1929. The English translation was made by Eddie Rivera and Eddie Woods in 1931.

    Bob steps up and out-sings his brother.......but then Helen, singing one of the great big band solos; a lilting, mischievous tone that was unsurpassable at the time....and today!

  • @baritonfelix
    @baritonfelix 10 หลายเดือนก่อน

    This was of course mimed for a movie. I like how Bob makes that very clear by completely ignoring the microphone, wheras Helen is more disciplined and at least turns it towards herself as a token gesture. They probably had a laugh about it afterwards.
    Having said that, what a great performance by the band and singers.

    Almost everything we know has improved since this song was recorded, sadly, music has degenerated, instead of dedicated, talented musicians, we now have "Three cord wonders" who release one song and are mistakenly regarded as "Stars"

      Yes. This is a scene from the movie "The Fabulous Dorseys." William Lundigan and Janet Blair played a fictionalized love interest couple in the fictionalized story. The cutaway to the older man in the wings is to Arthur Shields who was playing the Dorsey brothers' father.
