Earl Grant - The End (1958)
THE END
(Jimmy Krondes, Sid Jacobson)
Sung by Earl Grant
With chorus and orchestra directed by
Charles Bud Dant
REGUARDING THE SONG TITLE:
The original DECCA 45 rpm gives the title as THE END, and that is the name I used for the video. Some will know the title as AT THE END OF A RAINBOW, which may have been used on some of the albums to help identify the song.

(J. B. Pounds; J.S. Fearis, 1897)
Sung by Frank Patterson & John McCormack
Original acoustic recording, 6 April, 1914, Camden, NJ
This beautiful song was sung by a four-part women's choir at the memorial service for President William McKinley, who died September 14, 1901.
--LYRICS--
Somewhere the sun is shining,
Somewhere the songbirds dwell;
Hush, then, thy sad repining,
God lives, and all is well.
Refrain:
Somewhere, somewhere,
Beautiful Isle of Somewhere!
Land of the true, where we live anew,
Beautiful Isle of Somewhere!

'The Roaring 20's' TV Show
(Produced by Warner Brothers, 1960-61)
Music from the show by Pinky Pinkham (Dorothy Provine), 'The Girls' and 'The Trio'
* Crazy Words-Crazy Tune (Pinky and The Girls)
* Bye Bye Blackbird (Pinky)
* The Whispering Song (When the Pussywillow Whispers to the Catnip) (The Girls)
* Laugh! Clown! Laugh! (The Trio)
NOTE: This was one of my favorite TV shows because of Dorothy's acting and her singing of the Roaring 20's music. As far as I know, this is the first transfer of the LP from vinyl to electronic format (.wav in this case). It never made it to CD and has been about 45 years since I heard it.

THAT'S MY DESIRE

NOTE: This is the original version and the first digitally remastered transfer to appear in years. All the other transfers I was familiar with were so fuzzy that I refused to post them.
--ABOUT THE SONG--
(from Wikipedia)
The recording by Frankie Laine was released by Mercury Records as catalog number 5007. It first reached the Billboard magazine Best Seller chart on June 27, 1947 and lasted 4 weeks on the chart, peaking at #7. It was Laine's first chart hit. Despite the higher chart position of the Kaye version, the Laine version is the widely-reported million seller. The Laine version also appeared on Billboard's Rhythm and Blues survey.

THE TENNESSEE WALTZ
(written by Redd Stewart and Pee Wee King, 1947)
Sung by Pee Wee King
--ABOUT THE SONG--
(from Wikipedia)
"The Tennessee Waltz" is a song, belonging to both the country music and popular genres, written by Redd Stewart and Pee Wee King in 1947, popularized by Patti Page and by Les Paul and Mary Ford in 1950. Country legend Roy Acuff recorded the song before either of these artists, however. In more recent years, a number of country artists have recorded the song, among them Emmylou Harris in 1981.
The Page recording was issued by Mercury Records as catalog number 5534, and first reached the Billboard pop music chart on November 10, 1950, lasting 30 weeks and peaking at #1. [1] It also reached #2 on the Billboard country music chart. The song became Patti Page's biggest hit and has received many awards.
The Les Paul/Mary Ford recording was issued by Capitol Records as catalog number 1316, and also reached the Billboard top 10.
Other recordings were made by Guy Lombardo and his Royal Canadians (on Decca Records, catalog number 27336) and by Jo Stafford (on Columbia Records, catalog number 39065). A British version was also recorded by Petula Clark.
--LYRICS--
I was dancin' with my darlin'
To the Tennessee Waltz
When an old friend I happened to see
I introduced him to my loved one,
And while they.. were dancing,
My friend stole my sweetheart from me
I remember the night,
And the Tennessee Waltz
Only you know how much I have lost
Yes, I lost my little darlin'
The night they were playing
The beautiful Tennessee Waltz
[Musical interlude]
I was dancin' with my darlin'
To the Tennessee Waltz
When an old friend I happened to see
I introduced him to my loved one,
And while they were dancing,
My friend stole my sweetheart from me
I remember the night,
And the Tennessee Waltz
Only you know how much I have lost
Yes, I lost my little darlin'
The night they were playing
The beautiful Tennessee Waltz

UNTIL THEN
(Stuart Hamblen)
Sung by Ray Price
From the Columbia Records album 'Faith',
released in 1960.
--LYRICS--
(Until the day God calls me home)
My heart can sing when I pause to remember
A heartache here is but a stepping stone
Along a path that's winding always upward
This troubled world is not my final home.
But until then my heart will go on singing
Until then with joy I'll carry on
Until the day my eyes behold my Saviour
Until the day God calls me home.
[Instrumental]
The things of earth will dim and lose their value
If we recall they're borrowed for a while
And things of earth that cause this heart to tremble
Remember there will only bring a smile.
But until then my heart will go on singing
Until then with joy I'll carry on
Until the day my eyes behold my Saviour
Until the day God calls me home...
