      God bless, brother. I am nostalgic for a period of time I never knew, but you did. My father is 90, and this is his style of music. And now, it is mine too.

      God bless. God wants you around. You come from a generation of class and values. My father is 90, and he is still reliving his past and lamenting how things have changed. Yes, you were fortunate to have seen this true artist. Hold on to your memories. All we really ever own are our experiences.

    This is a deceptively difficult song to sing..with it's change of key..and change of tempo..bob Eberly has a magnificent command of both..his beautiful voice soaring..or deep with passion..The beautiful Helen O''Çonnell is magnificent! They were so incredibly suited to each other. What a time to have experienced this incredible music, the Bands, and the wonderful singers. I thank my parents and uncles for my love of this music..ballads..jazz..swing..all really coming from The Blues!!

    I just found a love letter from my Dad to my Mom pre- ww2 before they were married where he mentioned this song. He also signed a card Amapola that was sent with flowers. He later was a soldier and they got married before he was shipped out to Europe. After searching, I found this.

    Lyrics:
    A boy found a dream upon a distant shore
    A maid with a way of whispering "Si, señor."
    Each night while guitars would softly play
    The tune seemed to dance 'round the words that he'd say
    Amapola, my pretty little poppy
    You're like that lovely flower so sweet and heavenly
    Since I found you, my heart is wrapped around you
    And loving you, it seems to beat a rhapsody
    Amapola, the pretty little poppy
    Must copy it's endearing charms from you
    Amapola, Amapola
    How I long to hear you say, "I love you."
    Amapola, my pretty little poppy
    You're like that lovely flower so sweet and heavenly
    Since I found you, my heart is wrapped around you
    And loving you, it seems to beat a rhapsody
    Amapola, the pretty little poppy
    Must copy it's endearing charms from you.
    Amapola, Amapola
    How I long to hear you say "I love you."

    How great to see the images of these two wonderful vocalists from the 40s! I grew up listening to swing music, but for some reason I'd never heard the vocalized version until I was about 28 years old. I'd heard the instrumental version but never knew the name of the song. When the two came together for me, my heart exploded and it's been my all time favorite song ever since. A fiance' dedicated this to me so it has special meaning. He's one I let get away. Still, sweet memories are stirred.

    Great song.
    Worth listening to in Spanish (Bocelli or Placido Domingo); Italian (Carlo Buti) and in French (Tino Rossi) All great examples and very different tempos.

    This is way before my time but I really love this kind of music. It's so soothing and I think it's a bit nostalgic to me from Christmas music that had certain sound qualities and instruments used like this.
    Ahhhh but I love this so much

    My mother was married the year this song came out - 1928. She had the record when I was a kid and I loved it then. Now it makes me cry!

    Wonderful version of a great song by two fantastic vocalists & orch.
    Why do people rave on about nothing & don't even bother commenting on the clip itself?

    I can remember as a kid, my father particularly, listening to his cousins, Tommy & Jimmy Dorsey performing on the radio and TV. I still get a kick out of listening to them on Sirrius radio. Its is so sad for Swing listeners, that both of them died so young. I remember my Dad telling me about his time during the War, going to their concerts in Manhattan.

    How good is this?
    So glad I was able to grow up in the 50's & 60's surrounded by the music from this era. Set my life up for an appreciation of many genres, as I took on anything from the Classics, to Al Jolson, to Led Zeppelin, with the journey and collection still expanding with today's music getting the occasional nod. But must admit that a lot of today's music is about the eye candy, rather than the music, not that I've got a complaint about getting an eyeful of the "beautiful" people, but it's a bit hard to see the wobbly bits on the radio. And does the actual music hold up on it's own then. Sadly, not always...
    But in the end, great music is all about making your own mind up, and not following trends.

      I love Benny Goodman and the Beatles. I love Artie Shaw and the Rolling Stones. I love Jimmy Dorsey and Led Zeppelin. I love Tommy Dorsey and AC/DC. No reason why you cannot love both. I was born in 1936,luckily I was exposed to both great styles.
