Dear Friends and Schoolmates,
I simply adore this great old classic. Unfortunately I'm unable to find a nice, mellow midi file that I like - not really - so just try the bonus video to hear Nat's beautiful voice:
BONUS - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hNzxH3zRU_I - Darling, Je Vous Aime Beaucoup - Nat King Cole, 1954
From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darling,_Je_Vous_Aime_Beaucoup:
"Darling, Je Vous Aime Beaucoup" is a
popular
song with words and music by
Anna Sosenko in
1935. It was introduced in the film Love and Hisses by Hildegarde and charted by Hildegarde at # 21 in 1943. The best-selling version of the song was recorded by Nat King Cole in 1954 which reached a peak Billboard position # 7 in 1955. Deep River Boys with orchestra recorded the song in Oslo on August 24, 1956. It was released on the extended play Hello young lovers (HMV 7EGN 12). The stranger on the balcony in Bob Dylan's and Jacques Levy's song "Black Diamond Bay" from the 1976 album "Desire" says “My darling, je vous aime beaucoup” to the female character. The deliberately bad French in the title (and used as a refrain along with "Wish my French were good enough") means "Darling, I love you a lot." Although "Je vous aime" is grammatically correct, "I love you" in French is generally said "Je t'aime," incorporating the familiar address "te" rather than the formal (or polite) address "vous." "Je ne sais pas" in the song means "I don't know." "Compris" (or "compree" as it is sometimes phonetically spelled in printed lyrics) means "understood." "Toujours" means "always." "Chérie" means "dear." "Très très fort" means "very very strong." |

February 04, 1942 - A baby
was born at sea onboard the USS WEST POINT (ex-SS AMERICA, NNS Hull #369) to
a couple amongst over 2,000 British civilians rescued from Singapore just days

Westpoint Leslie Sheldrake. To this day, he remains in contact with
members of the ship's crew that rescued his parents, plus his own two grandsons
also have 'Westpoint' as their middle names. (Thanks,
Bill Lee!

From John Patterson
('59) of TN - 02/03/14 - "Flash Mob In Moscow":
Who would have thought that young
people in Moscow would put on a "flash mob" happening, dancing to an
83-year-old American song, written by a Russian born American Jew
(Irving Berlin)? Turn your sound ON, and crank it up! I have a feeling that Stalin and Khrushchev are turning over in their graves! http://www.youtube.com/embed/KgoapkOo4vg?rel=0
WOWZERS!
Whodathunkit?!? Thanks so much, John!
