Great arrangement!!!!! Always enjoyed it!!!! Tommy Dorsey and his brother Jimmy came from my late Dads hometown, Lansford, Pennsylvania. I remember they had a TV show back in the early days of TV in the 1950s on CBS.
as a kid growing up in Chicago in the 50's I remember this was an introduction to a morning radio show my mom used to have on when we were all (my dad and my two older sisters) running around the house getting ready to go on our way for the day. I had to be around 5-7 years old. I close my eyes, relax and listen to the first 30-45 seconds of it and just zone out...
What a breath of fresh air to enjoy in today's hectic world! If this isn't a cure all something is wrong. Maybe this music should be piped throughout the two disfunctional houses?
Very good and very relaxing to hear. The orchesta plays really cool and the singers sing very well too. It is up to us really we can be happy or miserable depending on what we choose. So let's be happy and move as the song says to the sunny side of the Street.
This tune hs that nice relaxed mood and besides it is an invitation to be happy. The sunny side of the Street is much better than the shady one. Things always look brighter under the sun.
This melody and song is simply beautiful. It is nice to hear well played instruments and lyrics with real meaning instead of the meaningless inanities most of today songs say. Besides it brings to me so many remembrances of my late Dad who liked to play this tune in his record player. Nice and good music.
In the mid 1960s this Tommy Dorsey tune was always being played on Radio Caroline / Pirate radio station in the UK ..... PS radio Caroline was an old mine sweeper converted to a radio/pop music ship anchored 2 miles out in the North Sea .......... the reason for the 2 miles was that the BBC could`nt stop em broadcasting as the boat was in international waters.
Every time I hear songs and tunes like this I realize how far we have fallen in the quality of popular music. This one is miles above most of that is heard in the radios today. A nice invitation to enjoy life and be happy. Let's leave all our woes and blues behind and enjoy we are still alive, and can still work and do other things!
Beautiful melody and song really, through old it one of those timeless songs reallly which is always great to hear. I recall my late Dad whenever I hear it. He arrived from the office to our home and still with his jacket on, he would play his 45rpm record which had four songs including this one.
