- Deanna Durbin (vocal) with Charles Previn and His Orchestra. Recorded in Los Angeles, California on December 12th 1938. Durbin had just become 17 years old on December 4th when she recorded it.
The song was written by Jimmy McHugh (music) and Harold Adamson (lyrics) for the 1938 Universal Musical Picture "That Certain Age", starring Deanna Durbin (who sang it in the movie) and Melvyn Douglas. The song was Oscar-nominated "Best Song" in 1939 and became very popular, recorded also by Tommy Dorsey with Edythe Wright, Gene Krupa, Larry Clinton, Les Brown, Jan Savitt, Geraldo with Al Bowlly or Jane Froman.
"Edna Mae Durbin (December 4, 1921 - April 17, 2013), known professionally as Deanna Durbin, was a Canadian-born American actress and singer, who moved to the U.S. with her family in infancy. She appeared in musical films in the 1930s and 1940s. With the technical skill and vocal range of a legitimate lyric soprano, she performed many styles, especially operatic arias and semi-classical pieces, which is today called classical crossover.
Durbin was a child actress who made her first film appearance with Judy Garland in Every Sunday (1936), and subsequently signed a contract with Universal Studios. She achieved success as the ideal teenaged daughter in films such as Three Smart Girls (1936), One Hundred Men and a Girl (1937), and It Started with Eve (1941). Her work was credited with saving the studio from bankruptcy, and led to Durbin being awarded the Academy Juvenile Award in 1938.
As she matured, Durbin grew dissatisfied with the girl-next-door roles assigned to her and attempted to move into sophisticated non-musical roles with film noir Christmas Holiday (1944) and the whodunit Lady on a Train (1945). These films, produced by frequent collaborator and second husband Felix Jackson, were not as successful; she continued in musical roles until her retirement. Upon her retirement and divorce from Jackson in 1949, Durbin married producer-director Charles Henri David and moved to a farmhouse near Paris. She withdrew from public life, granting only one interview on her career in 1983."

And here's the song text:
My own
Let me call you my own
Let me make you a part
of the song in my heart
Alone Im just living in vain
everything that I do
is depending in you
Show me a sign of your longing for me
Say you are mine
and forever that you will be...
My own let me call you my own
every dream I have known
has been built of but one desire just to call you my own
Show me a sign of your longing for me
say you are mine and forever that you will be
My own every dream I have known
has been built of but one desire
just to call you my own
Beautiful

Thank you so much my dear Julian for sharing this. ❤️ 😊
So happy you enjoyed hearing it again, dear Ginny - thank you very much!! 🎶👍😃 Have a a relaxing Sunday, my friend and warm greetings to you!! 🤗🌷🍀🌼🌸
What do soprano legends like Joan Sutherland and Maria Callas have in common with such diverse personalities as Winston Churchill and Anne Frank?
They all adored Deanna Durbin, number one box office magnet of the war years. Like Mario Lanza or Sarah Vaughan, she had the makings of an opera star, but unlike them she is rather forgotten these days. Mario, who was of Deanna's vintage, 1921, died at the tender age of 38, Deanna at the ripe old age of 91. Not yet 30, she completely retired to France, never to perform publicly again. It was a time when some female stars simply chose to get married and become housewives. Another such example would be Alice Faye, who literally went off the stage, never to return again (well, once for the terribly flopped remake of _State Fair)._
Deanna Durbin was to Universal what Shirley Temple was to Fox - a singular phenomenon, never to be repeated, both in terms of inimitable talent and the flow of time. Some things are quintessentially of their time and place and don't fit into any other frame of our spacetime continuum.
The song is ended, but the melody lingers on... at least on Julian's brave little phonograph.
P.S. The TD recording is my favorite. Edythe Wright was one of the best band singers of the 1930s, and she too simply married and retired... and died way too young, at only 49. The good really seem to die young... or live very long, in France, far away from the hustle and bustle of Hollywood.
Thank you for your very interesting and detailed comment, dear Henri and I'm happy you enjoyed hearing this recording again!! 🎶👍😃 Deanna Durbin was a wonderful singer and actress with natural charm and charisma - certainly worth to remember..... or to discover (for those, who don't know her)!! 👌 Have a nice and relaxing Sunday, my friend and take care!! 🍀🌷🌼🌸🌷
Deanna is fabulously skilled and fully accomplished in this very early recording in her career. Her vocal is deeply involved, intense and emotional, whereas Charles Previn (unrelated to André Previn by the way) is offering a wonderfully smooth and refined accompaniment as well. Thank you so much dear Julian for sharing this gem!
Deanna Durbin certainly is worth to remember - a wonderful singer and actress with natural charm and charisma!! She stopped her career at the age of only 27 and became a happy private person taking care of her family - most probably a wise decision! Thank you for your keen comment, dear Patrick - I'm happy you liked this early recording with her!! 🎤🎵🎶👍😃 Have a nice and relaxing Sunday, my friend and take care!! 🤗🍀🌷🌼🌸
@@juliansshellacs7807 She absolutely is, dear Julian! An exceptional artist whose career was way too short, although for her personal life quitting the music and film business may well have been the best decision. Thank you so much for presenting this stunning performance on your channel! I hope you are having an excellent week, my friend, Take care!
Fantastic record! “My Own” is one of my favourite songs.. and my favourite version was recorded by Erhard Bauschke.
Thank you, my friend and I'm happy you liked it!! 🤗 The Erhard Bauschke Orchestra is one of my favorites but I must admit, that I don't know his version of "My Own" - have to look for it!! 👍😉 Do you know this one with him and the wonderful Danish singer and dancer Fin Olsen: th-cam.com/video/9YrhY1Tztds/w-d-xo.htmlsi=FLO9KMPPPR17uPTS Isn't that great! 🎶🕺🎶👍😃 Have a good start into the new week and take care!! 🍀🌷🍀😎
@@juliansshellacs7807 I do know that song, and I think it’s wonderful! My favourite version of that song is either by Bauschke, or Henry Hall. You have a great start to the week as well!
Deanna Durbin… Sie hatte eine wirklich hübsche Stimme - liebreizend hätte man früher wohl gesagt -, und es war obendrein eine gut ausgebildete Stimme… vielleicht ein bisschen zu klein für die Oper, aber sie verstand auch Arien sehr gut zu singen und einfühlsam zu interpretieren… 🌹🌹🌹
Dieses Lied ist ebenso entzückend (noch so ein leicht nostalgisch anmutender Terminus) wie die Stimme und die Sängerin selbst… ✨✨✨
Ein ganz wunderbarer Post, lieber Julian! 🌟 Vielen Dank dafür! 🙏🍀
Dachte ich mir und freut mich sehr, dass Dir diese Aufnahme gefallen hat!! 😃 Deanna Durbin ist der Erinnerung wert - eine sehr charmante Sängerin und Schauspielerin, die ja leider schon mit 27 Jahren ihre Karriere beendete und sich vollkommen zurückzog - bei dieser Aufnahme war sie übrigens erst gerade 17 geworden! Hier noch eine Szene mit ihr, die ich besonders mag, denn sie singt eines meiner Lieblingslieder - "Danny Boy": th-cam.com/video/ymWrLo2s1VA/w-d-xo.htmlsi=35rIfNcW6j8AS9g_
Liebe Grüße und ein schönes Wochenende! 🌞🍀🌼🌷🌸

„Danny Boy“ liebe ich auch sehr, und Deanna Durbin hat eine ganz zauberhafte Version eingespielt! Vielen Dank für den Link, darauf freue ich mich jetzt! 🤩😍
Was sagst Du zu unserem Ausscheiden bei der EM? Dieses Viertelfinale wäre wirklich finalwürdig gewesen! Verflixte Auslosung, verflixter Turnierbaum… 😏😔🙁🤷♀️
Auch wir wünschen Euch noch einen schönen restlichen Sonntag! 🌞🍀🌞🍀🌞
@@hrbooksmusic7878 Vielen Dank, liebe Harriet!! 😃 Das deutsche Ausscheiden bei der EM ist sehr bitter!! Sie war eindeutig die bessere Mannschaft, hat bis zum Schluss toll gekämpft und alles gegeben und hat einen eindeutigen Elfmeter nicht bekommen! Sehr sehr schade, aber diese Mannschaft hat viele neue Fans und Herzen gewonnen!! 👍👍😉 Einen entspannten Sonntag Abend für Euch und ganz liebe Grüße! 🤗🍀🌞🌸🌷

Lieber Julian, ich dachte mir, dass Du so oder ähnlich empfindest… Die Jungs haben gekämpft bis zum Umfallen, und da wundert es einen schon, dass im Internet neben viel Lob auch so viel Häme und Geringschätzung ausgedrückt wird. Das Internet ist eben auch ein Spielplatz für dumme und gehässige Menschen. Gerade schrieb mir einer, Deutschland hätte schon in der Vorrunde rausfliegen müssen, Ungarn und die Schweiz wären klar besser gewesen, und ohne die rote Karte hätte auch Schottland uns besiegt. Das war zwar nicht beleidigend im Ton (viele sind es!), aber wie kann jemand (außer er ist Schotte oder Ungar) eine solche Wahrnehmung haben? Derselbe Mensch hat noch andere Sentenzen abgelassen, die das deutsche Team einfach nur schlecht geredet haben. Um des Schlechtredens willen, wenn Du verstehst, was ich meine.
Ich sollte mir das eigentlich nicht antun. 😅 Aber ich kann‘s nicht lassen! 😇
Bitter, ja, vor allem aufgrund der umstrittenen Elfer-Entscheidung. Ich fand das Verhalten des Schiedsrichters insgesamt einfach unglücklich. In einer solchen Phase des Spiels nutzt man doch alle Mittel! Also wieso schaut er sich die Szene nicht noch einmal an? Für mich war es auch ein Elfer, ganz egal, ob Cucurella den Arm oben hat oder runter nimmt. Hätte er ihn oben gelassen oder hoch genommen, wäre der Ball ja sogar durchgegangen! Und er lehnt sich zum Ball. Dann soll er eben gleich richtig mit dem Körper blocken, auch wenn‘s vielleicht wehtut. Na ja, Rede- und Diskussionsbedarf ohne Ende…
Jetzt schauen wir eben in die Zukunft!!!
Muss los… Viele liebe Grüße und eine schöne Woche! 🍀🌞🌹🍀🌞🌹🍀🌞🌹🍀🌞🌹
