My Dad took me to see the Five Pennies when I was 11 yrs old. I loved it and bought the album and I’m still playing it at 71. Thank you Dad for introducing me to jazz and to Danny Kaye, a great person and actor!🎶 🎼 🥇
This heartwarming and soothing song "Lullaby in Ragtime" was brilliantly composed and beautifully written by Ms Sylvia Fine for her husband Danny Kaye's 1959 Paramount Pictures' The Five Pennies - an endearing and moving semi-biopic of Mr Red Nichols, the great American cornet player,composer,and jazz bandleader in 1920's.The great Danny Kaye can't only be praised for his excellence in gag scenes,impersonations,ad-lib's,and snappy songs,but also in poignant scenes and in having amazing voice.
This is my fav movie! So glad my mum showed me it. Movie aren't made like this anymore. So pure and funny and such a great soundtrack.

One of the most beautiful voices EVER!!! It has a velvet quality that very few singers are born with! And also the arrangement, the tonality of the song, the instrumentation and Barbara Bel.... IT'S JUST PERFECT!
I just love this song the singer...been hearing it since the 70's..I'm 63 now and I sing it to my granddaughter Eleanor and truly she gets rocked to sleep.
Thanks for posting this wonderful song/scene. Danny Kaye was such an incredibly gifted performer (and a chef and an airplane pilot, too!). For those who don't already know, the song was written by Kaye's wife, the very talented Sylvia Fine. Eileen Wilson dubbed the singing beautifully for the great Barbara Bel Geddes.
My babies cannot go to sleep without playing the pennies, sandman and signing in the rain. They love these songs and especially when there Daddy sings it to them.
I want iu kids to grow up with us singing dancing MD a magical word of love laughter and safe where nobody can hurt them.A world of happiness and love xoxoxoxo
I must have been about ten when somebody gave my father a large collection of vinyls and amongst them was the soundtrack to this film. I remember falling in love with this particular song, learning to sing it and playing the album repeatedly. This morning, for some reason, I woke up with Lullaby In Ragtime in my head and it's still as beautiful.
Great song, great singing, great instrumental background! The female singer is Eileen Wilson who sang on some of the old Hit Parade TV shows. She dubbed Barbara Bel Geddes songs in the movie. Red Nichols' clarinet player Heinie Beau wrote the arrangement - you can hear Heinie playing clarinet also Hollywood studio sax player Wayne Songer.
It's a wonderful movie, in my opinion. I have loved it for many, many years - loved it growing up and bought it myself a few years ago. It's actually the story of bandleader Red Nichols (how accurate I don't know). Great movie, not silly at all. Highly recommend it!
l love counter melodies, there are so clever and sweet to listen to. The great one is Moonflower from the original movie Picnic with Kim Novak doing the sexiest dance for William Holden. Worth watching if you like good music and good acting. Nita.
Funniest line in the whole movie is just after the baby is born and his wife asks him, "Did you see the baby?" and Danny Kaye replies, "Yes, but I won't hold it against you." XD
Also see You Tube video Danny Kaye & Louie Armstrong - Goodnite - Five Pennies - Lullaby In Ragtime , from the same movie, where Louis Armstrong and Danny Kaye sing these songs, while child actress Susan Gordon sings "The Five Pennies", all in simultaneous trio. An underappreciated gem!
So this sucks because the perfect man is dead now. Darn it and my stupid birth order! Heavens above can you please give us another Danny Kaye? Thank you.
they dont make movies like they used to.. its say.. in todays movies there is no soul, so spirit no nothing just how much money we can put into them and how much graphics and special effects. ill take old movies like five pennies and north by northwest any day
It's a Danny Kaye movie. Most of the time he's playing Red Nichols, but Danny Kaye occasionally shine through. But the early and late scenes with him and Louis Armstrong are worth twice the price of admission. "Where you been Haydn?"
I am only 51 but remember loving this movie when I was a kid. It was one of my dad’s favourites

they don,t make classics like this anymore.just beautiful.
Danny Kaye was one of the greatest entertainers ever.He could sing dance and he was very funny.RIP
Danny Kaye moves me ... every time I hear this song with his sweet voice I get emotional ...
I agree - He is my favorite actor to have ever lived and I enjoy watching and listening to him singing and dancing...phenomenal!

There will never be another Danny Kaye! A true Renaissance man!
Ah, in tears here. My dad used to sing this to me.
One of my favorite movies and this song is wonderful. Danny and Barbara sound lovely together.
Barbara did not sing, her voice was dubbed.
One of the greatest performers, actor, singer and so talented in every aspect... remember his films ... wonderful and a very generous person.
I just love this song the singer...been hearing it since the 70's..I'm 63 now and I sing it to my granddaughter Eleanor and truly she gets rocked to sleep.

My choir is learning this, as well as pennies, so beautiful
Why was he so perfect at everything?! Such a great voice for lullabies! Seriously, I'm cannot find a single fault with this man.
he is the best live all his music, he should have got a.medal.
Same... My dad and I watched all the Danny Kaye movies .. I'll never forget them nor him. He was an amazing talent.
My babies cannot go to sleep without playing the pennies, sandman and signing in the rain. They love these songs and especially when there Daddy sings it to them.
I loved this movie so much, I think I must have been about 6 or 7 when I saw it at the movies and cried so much at the end
Great song...........Great movie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is one of my favorite songs from one of my most favorite movies of all time!!!
I want iu kids to grow up with us singing dancing MD a magical word of love laughter and safe where nobody can hurt them.A world of happiness and love xoxoxoxo
This sounds so much better than on the soundtrack. I love when the music gets very loud in the end and the baby is asleep ^^
So, I love this song with all my heart and soul but that ending amps me up. I can't imagine this lulling any kid to sleep.
We miss you, Mr. Kaye. =,)
Great movie. Danny was so good in it. One of my favorites
A very old friend use to sing this to me ( sadly he,s gone now )love always xx Gordon xx
Legend! Danny Kaye the likes of whom will never be seen again, the last great all rounder! awesome! Should be recognised by hollywood!
I love Danny Kaye! This movie makes me cry... but I love it all the same! Especially this song. I think I'll listen to it again!
I would cry if it would make Danny Kaye sing to me. That baby knew what she was doing!
Absolutely fantastic, have loved this song since I was a kid, Danny is fabulous ... thank you so much for posting this.
Would love to see this movie again!
Then go ahead
A very talented preformer. We lost him too soon
great two films to watch to view Kaye's vast range of talents.
Annabelle Lane Great Singing n Movie Its Sad Todays Movies hav Little Love A Lost Art.

I love this song... I still want to sing it with my band but no one wants to take the chance yet... I'll keep working on it :)
Super film avec un Danny Kaye exceptionnel!

My mum sing that when I was a baby 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Who's playing the clarinet.
great music is that true?? is the movie based in red nichols?
almost everyone now adays
@mrthrillernight It was probubly an accident
Danny Kaye could be very charming when he wasn't trapped by his comedy shtick.
He shoulda played more serious roles.
who disliked this video?
how could they?
I've never seen this one, surprisingly. Is it worth buying? I've seen a few of of his movies and some are more silly than others...how is this one?
freetobeme03 GREAT FEELING MOVIE N SONGS N ACTING
It’s a great movie it’s one of my favorite

"Where you been Haydn?"
@mrthrillernight Exactly what I thought when I voted! xD Perhaps it was an accident? D:
Who dubbed Barbara Bel Geddes ?
Eileen Wilson dubbed Ms Barbra Bel Geddes. I love the movie and then enjoyed her performance.
