This song debuted on Broadway 101 years ago. In all that time, no one has produced anything so good, so basically competent. The lyrics were by P. G. Wodehouse, the play librettist was Guy Bolton. No one alive today can compose nearly so well as did Kern, and no show business team has been able to approach the heights reached by Kern, Wodehouse, and Bolton.
Totally agree. Kern and Wodehouse mentored the Gershwin brothers. And Ira Gershwin sent Sir Pelham care packages while he was interned in a Nazi concentration camp.
To increase exposure to this very charming version you, Meliisa Jane Cowell, might like to adjust the heading to this clip ie from "Till the Coulds roll by" to "Till the Clouds roll by". Just a suggestion. And the late Benny Green who wrote the best sleeve notes ever adored this song. One of the most charming collaborations between Jerome Kern & P G Wodehouse.
And you can thank the "Wal-Mart" and "McDonald's" corporatizing and commodifying of EVERYTHING for that...this type of capitalism (which has little, if anything, to do with free enterprise) has become a stage-four cancer that will ultimately destroy us all. Here's the irony - when I get a rare opportunity to perform songs like this to people who have never been exposed to it, 98% of them actually like it! Thanks for subscibing, BTW... :)
Jerome Kern and his music wouldn't have had a chance in hell today - a dysfucntional, wortthless, tasteless society that considers "Beyonce" (no last name, which says it all) to be "high art..." What a shame.
Perfectly wonderful, but I did NOT care for the male singer. He was not singing in the style of the period and was indulging in 'pop' affectations. The girl was spot on.
I believe that people today dare not show a desire for things such as real music, beautiful scenery, Etc.as this would bring shame from their peers. There is a strange reversal of values in the world, in which what is bad is seen as good. The most terrifying thing in the world for kids today is to be seen as different, any departure from being cool is devastating. They are marching hand in hand, ignorant of the past, with no desire to build a decent future. Rob

so delightfully beautiful! Who knows who "Mrs. Grundy" was today1
Or "la grippe"?
This is from the John McGlinn recording "Jerome Kern Treasury" the performers are Rebecca Luker and Hugh Panaro.
This is certainly one of the most beautiful songs ever written and composed. How wonderful to have the original version in the original orchestration!
I've heard this song compared to Schubert's "The Trout," and, by gum! it doesn't suffer much by the comparison.
I wish there was more early Kern available -- some really wonderful old music there. Thanks for this gem!
I've loved this song for years, this is my first time hearing this original version. Absolutely charming! Thank you for posting this.

I have always been convinced that Jerome Kern could have wrote music to sing the phone book to and still carried us away to another place.

still totally charming and nostalgic - and sad too.
Is this one of those John McGlinn recordings? Sounds like maybe Rebecca Luker w. George Dvorsky? Brent Barrett? Pretty, in any case.
Yes you’re right
