" A Nightingale Sang in Berkely Square." After the German bombing of London ceased temporarily, this gentle song was often played to reassure Londoners that peace and tranquility would once again return when the Nightingale would sing its lovely song. Vera Lynn included this as one of her wartime songs that lifted the spirits of the British people.
This is a wonderful performance by Sir George Shearing and Mel Torme. I saw them do this version at The Royal York Hotel. As Shearing duplicated the trill of the Nightingale in high notes on the piano, the audience broke into a lengthy applause for both Shearing's piano playing and sensitive interpretation of Mel Torme.
