Come April 5, 2024 I will be 92 yrs old; from Tampa, FL and Chicago, IL. And I can say, "Jo Stafford’s rendition; was so incredibly awesome; it will never be forgotten for us that listened; and loved her so much"! May Jesus rest her precious Soul 😇AMEN! <br> <br>P.S. And get this...I didn't like most "popular music" (then). Because I was wrapped up, in "Hillbilly Music"; before Nashville changed it into, "Country Music"! So it shows just how great that precious lady was!❤IT! To the "nth" degree! 🤓

My parents would dance to her records in our kitchen; this is one of my favorite memories. Still love her voice. Oh, I'm 80.

This made me tear up.. My mom use to sing this song when I was a child.. When she could call from her nursing home angry I would sing this to her then she would join in.. She wouldn't be angry anymore.. Thank you Fil for a great memory.. This is one song that I know all the words too..

Her pitch was legendary. Ella Fitzgerald once had a record date with arranger and conductor Paul Weston, Stafford's husband. Ella told him, "I'm not sure I want to do this with you. I'm afraid that if I sing a bad note, you might go home and tell your old lady!"

NOBODY, I mean NOBODY else will do an analysis video of Jo Stafford and post it on You Tube. What you do, is totally unique because of the breadth of genre and time you are willing to cover. Stafford has a 40's vibe to what she does. She does such clean work when she sings. You can feel a certain bittersweet pathos behind it. You are right about those instruments. They get in the way of perfection.<br> It occured to me that I don't recall a curseword or 'slur' in the lyrics any of your videos you showcase. That suggests you apply content standards for subject and language so that parents need not worry about younger viewers listening. Am I correct?

They did't call her the singer's singer for nothing. She was respected by all the top voices of the day.

Fil, you had the same smile on your face that many of us have when listening to her. It's just her vocal magic.

My dad got to dance with Jo Stafford at a USO club during WWII. It was a story he told more than once.🙂

Jo Staffard was a clasically trained singer and an aspiring opera singer whose chance to train for the opera was dashed by the depression in America. Her breath control and her ability to sustain notes in a variety of octaves was outstanding. Opera's loss was popular and country music's gain.

Jo Stafford was something special as a singer. Her singing always reminded me of a well played cello. Yes, I remember 1952 very well.
