"MEMORY LANE" - Irving Kaufman (1924)

MEMORY LANE (Ballad) (Words by Buddy G. DeSylva; Music by Larry Spier & Con Conrad) Irving Kaufman, with Orchestra Accompaniment Vocalion, A-14842, 1924. Note: This is an old video, re-posted in better quality (when viewed at 720p). I like Irving Kaufman's distinctive voice. It seems to me to truly evoke the "sound" of popular music in America in the 1920s. Irving Kaufman made countless recordings during this period. I certainly have quite a few in my own record collection, many of which I plan to eventually present here. The sheet music for "Memory Lane" was published in 1924 and this recording was made the same year. The song is a "classic" from the 1920s and remained popular for years. Many different recordings of this song exist. Perhaps the most charming interpretation is that of Amelita Galli-Curci, also from 1924. It can be found on Youtube and is worth listening to! In the illustrations, Memory Lane is depicted by old postcards of a wooded spot in my hometown. "Stars are gleaming: Day is o'er. Moonlight beaming On the shore. Birds are calling, Shadows falling, So I dream my dream once more! I am with you
Wandering through Memory Lane;
Living the years,
Laughter and tears, over again.
I am dreaming yet of the night we met,
When life was a lovely refrain.
You were so shy, saying "Goodbye," there in the dawn;
Only a glance, full of romance, and you were gone!
Though my dreams are in vain,
My love will remain
Strolling again,
Memory Lane, with you. Night is going; Skies are gray. Dawn is glowing, Far away. Still I 'm lonely thinking only Of that golden yesterday!"
