Pepsidoodle Helms, Alice Faye was my Grandmother's favorite singer. I'm a huge of hers. I'm only 43 but there would never be a talent like hers again.

Alice Faye embodied a certain ideal cherished by a large segment of American, and probably, international culture of her era. She represented everything positive, lovely, charming and classy but not overly sophisticated. She projected warmth, beauty, kindness, and grace. All the things one could ever want in a woman or a friend. I hope your connection to her has been a blessing to you, because our connection to her as a culture has been a blessing to us.

Alice Faye was one of the best and most beautiful female crooners of all time. She was sensational and is unforgettable.

Respectfully disagree. She had about a 6-note range...as evidenced in this clip.

That is because in this clip she is well past her prime. My comment refers to when she was young. In this clip she is seventy years of age.

This was the 1985 Royal Variety Show in London for charity in the presence of HM Queen Elizabeth II. It’s to her that Alice Faye turns and bows her head at the end. The Queen met and thanked her and other cast members such as Dame Anna Neagle and (now Dame) Joan Collins on stage after the show.

What young people do not realise is that growing older takes courage . I admire , as I am now over 60 , people growing old with grace. One cannot pretend to me young but one can take pride in ones appearance

I am still a professional singer and sing this song as well. I am 76 and still dance etc while I perform.

Hearing this song and listening to Alice Faye sing it, brings tear's to my eyes. She was so beautiful and this tune will forever be linked to her. RIP Alice Faye.

How wonderful it is to hear and see Alice Faye once again being totally terrific this late in her wonderful career. I'm so glad that this is a live recording.

A wonderful & extremely gracious & talented woman.

Love her pictures , her songs . Love many the Hollywood singing stars of days of yesteryear . My moms fav too . Durbin , Grayson , Miller . Keeler . MacDonald . Grable and Rogers . Garland . Miranda . Williams and so so many more , love them all .

she was wonderful! met her husband Phil Harris (early 90's) during one of his trips up to the Russian River (Monte Rio) for the Bohemian Grove Fest. he was a character..drove him in my little River Taxi.

She was one of my favorite actress of the 1940s who can sing with vulnerability and class.

What a lady! What a voice!!! What sadness that she and other greats have gone.

I Loved Alice Faye from the moment I saw her in Alexander's Ragtime Band its my favorite one of hers.

Oh gosh, I loved Alice Faye and also her movies with Don Ameche and her wonderfully funny husband Phil Harris.

What a darling of a woman. I do so admired her immaculate appearance . More older people should take care of their appearance . One cannot always be young but one can look the best one can at any age.

+Keith MacMillan I agree entirely. At the same time, though, she never tried to artificially look younger than she was; she just took care of herself.

+bplatt1069 I always admired her for never getting a face lift. She had a mellow voice when she was younger, and I remember how her voice deepened as she got older. I wish I could find more performances, and interviews with her as she got older.

Well she is performing, so has to appear well dressed. Yet I agree with you. I see women over 50 dress like they are going to do gardening or to the beach. I am 76 and take care of myself, though I am on a small SS income, no way I am going out looking less than neat and nicely dressed. I am also a professional singer, so I dress beautifully in inexpensive clothes and jewelry, but look good on stage.

Looking so elegant - so supreme - Alice was my crush in the early 40's.

She had an excellent voice! I love the three movies that she did with the great Tyrone Power: "In old Chigago", "Alexander's ragtime band" y "Rose of Washington Square". They were so marvelous there!! Thanks!

My all-time favorite musical star. Got my crush on her when I saw her in 'That Night in Rio'. That was in 1941. I was about 12. Met her for a few minutes after being in the audience for her and Phil Harris' radio show at the Hollywood NBC studio 1948 /49. I notice in this clip she has lost her New York accent after living in Calif. most of her life. She says 'swear' instead of 'sweah' as she did in her films. If I recall correctly, she grew up in Hell's Kitchen.

I’m 61. I discovered her through her husband, Phil Harris, on old time radio Jack Benny shows. Phil was Jack’s band leader and his persona was being popular with the ladies. Then in real life he married Alice and you could tell she was the one. The gag now was that she supported him because of her success and also because Jack’s character was cheap. Wonderful art imitates life stuff.😘

I’ve loved Alice Faye since watching her films on TV when I was a girl in the sixties. Fabulous voice. X

Talk about aging beautifully! And that unique voice unlike any other.

Before Alice Faye came on the scene, most female movie singers had operatic voices. As such, movie producers weren't sure how audiences would re-act much less accept a more low-register female voice that almost sounded masculine at times. Well, obviously audiences loved her.

age has nothing got to with your creative talents and their longevity. It has been proven again and again .its something so intrinsic within you till you are there.

pure MAGIC :-) Miss Alice Faye was the QUEEN of Hollywood Golden Days of Musicals

Much respect to actresses who continue their careers into their senior years. Very inspirational!

She was-is SO Beautiful! and a Good! Actress. I Always loved love her. My Family Did.. ♥️🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹

Such elegance and class!

she looks the same as she did when younger, amazing

Beautiful lady great voice

Saw her in Good News on Broadway in 1974. Thrilling.

I adore this woman...

How lovely. Alice Faye was one of the iconic voices of the '30's and '40's and much of her sweet deep voice is still very much in evidence in this performance. Nice to see and thanks for posting.

Beautiful. Absolutely beautiful

A great talent and beauty for all times!!!

CLASS PURE CLASS and still a Beauty. Sadly they don't make them like that anymore.

Wow awesome ms alice faye love it. One of a favorite songs of my mom i miss her so much😌

She's wonderful! Love her!

Those four people with thumbs down, obviously don't know what true singing talent is.

That was funny.

Every time I listen to her I am haunted by the mystery of how the hell she had no lasting record contract with any let alone major label at least while she was at her peak, when she in fact sent more of her film songs to the hit charts than any other singing actress in the history of film musicals. A Fox star to boot & so little material thought lost seems to ever come from Fox sessions or shoots. It's a sin. At least we have her radio work and some of it's in better shape sonically than a lot of record company masters from the same period. Thanks Buzz!

+Gemminicus Darryl Zannuck and the other Hollywood moguls did not want their contract players to record--why, precisely, is unclear. Perhaps, it was to increase their draw at the box office? Anyway, we're fortunate to have quite a collection of her fine vocals, regardless of Zannuck's poor judgement.

THANK YOU for posting this! I had the pleasure of briefly meeting this great lady back around 1988. What a tremendous talent she was.

Always love her

her voice has changed compared to her 1943-44 singing the same song. My mom used to sing for me the same song and I am proud to say mom sang it well and they're both beautiful💖

Lovely!

great lady

I love Alice

classy lady. she could sing, be funny and do romantic drama.

My Aunt Alice!

What a talented and Lovely Lady

Still beautiful!

Thanks for sharing this, Buzz. What a beautiful, classy lady she was.

I LOVE THIS LADY, LOVE HER VOICE, WHAT A BEAUTIFUL LADY!

Deep voice, reminds me of listening to her in the Phil Harris - Alice Faye radio show.

Shes a classic

A very classy lady!

what people dont realise is she never even knew what key she song in didnt have a teacher and made her own career she doesnt sound as fresh as she did in 1935 but i think after 50 years of performed no one does but she sounds great

Love her.♥️♥️♥️

My parents use to like her.

I used to bake apple pies for Alice.

God bless you, Alice.

Pura elegancie 40s

What is this from? There's no info.

A woman has to have a lot of moral fortitude to expose out singing at age She tried to overcome the inevitable passage of time

This is 42 years after she introduced the song so she didn't do too bad for an old film star.
