Sometimes I just got to go back and listen to this guy. This was my parents music and i grew up with it. today's music is fine if you just stick with the music part. the lyrics today cannot begin to compare. I wish music and lyrics were still so sweet and listenable. this man has a perfect smooth voice.
Nobody does this like Haymes. It's a gorgeous song done by a gorgeous baritone. He introduced the song in the 20th Century-Fox musical "Diamond Horseshoe" (1945), singing the tune to Betty Grable.

This is a great song and Dick introduced it in the film Diamond Horseshoe...he also recorded it for Capitol in 1955. If you want to know about his life read Prof Ruth Prigozy's book on him...a balanced view too...
you had great parents-they gave you a memory for a lifetime. Dick Haymes was one of the best singers of his time,but had a very tough time with the US govt and alcoholism.
As a singer, he was a natural.

My father knew Dick and spoke well of him so go a little easy when you pass judgement on Mr Haymes. As a singer nobody of the era had a voice quite like his.
Great singer, beautiful song, but ultimate credit to the composer, Harry Warren (Salvatore Guaragna) his birth name to Italian immigrant parents from Brooklyn (1893-1981) Died in L.A.
The Haymes rich baritone brings everything to this lovely song. The beauty of the classic American song book from the 30s,40s & 50s is the vivid sense of story telling that went with the great tunes. With singers such as Haymes, Sinatra and Bennett, not to mention great ladies like Ella and Peggy Lee one hears every word with superb clarity.
