Jo Stafford - All The Things You Are free for downloading

Simply superlative from start to finish

You are the promised kiss of springtime That makes the lonely winter seem long You are the breathless hush of evening That trembles on the brink of a lovely song You are the angel glow that lights a star The dearest things I know are what you are Someday my happy arms will hold you And someday I'll know that moment divine When all the things you are, are mine Someday my happy arms will hold you And someday I'll know that moment divine When all the things you are, are mine

Jo Stafford was an exceptional vocalist, the likes of which no longer seems to exist in popular music.

Pure class , as in everything she ever sang.

I always think if Jerome Kern could have lived 20 more years or so, how much more would he have contributed to the world of decent popular songs? Miss him so much!

Jo Stafford, what a class act! What a beautiful song!

I first heard this song in 1940 when I was 9. My mother and I were listening to the Wireless during a bombing raid in Liverpool when this song began playing and I stopped what I was doing and listened. When it was over I said to Mam,"that will always be my best song." and has been ever since, a real tearjerker for me.

Jo Stsfford and Doris Day - my all-time favorite female voices!

I remember as a child hearing Jo Stafford. 50 years later and I only appreciate her more.

God, please bring back this kind of music, we need it so badly.

wow i was born in the late 60s but this song haunts me so much, im really an old soul

What a beautiful, beautiful, beautiful song!I haven't heard of this woman till now.....I'm fortunate I guess, I AM one of the lucky ones who get to hear her...

I pity our current generation. They will never experience the grace, elegance and talent of people like Jo Stafford, Louie Armstrong, Patsy Cline, Billy Holiday, Frank Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald etc.

This lovely voice of Jo Stafford was very, very popular and loved especially during WW2.  I loved her voice so much that I sent for her autographed picture...and received it!  A wonderful voice that makes for a sweet, sweet memory for me!   Thanks!

Apparently, Jo Stafford started out as an opera singer, which training resulted in such a beautiful voice and perfect phrasing.  I'm glad she switched to  contemporary music we love to hear from her.

When trying to learn a jazz standard I always look for these pure singers that express the melody as written. Thank you, Jo Stafford for doing just that with gorgeous style. I wasn't raised with this music, so now that I'm studying some jazz, I need to hear what a song actually sounds like, without a jazz singer getting loose with it. That's cool, but it comes later. This search for pure melody has turned me on to some great female vocalists of the 30's and 40's, and I have fallen in love with every one of them.

Jo Stafford was My Father's Favorite Female Singer. She got him through the Navy during WW2 and later in life. I lost him in 04 and I always think of him whenever I hear her sing.

A beautiful song sung by a lovely voice in homage to the great Jerome Kern. We will never see or hear their like again.

One of the better versions of a very great and very difficult song.
