Nelson Riddle's wonderful arrangement of " I Remember You" for 18 year old Sue Raney.
I Remember You was written in 1941 by Victor Schertzinger with lyrics by Johnny Mercer. It was included in the movie " The Fleets In" and was sung by Dorothy Lamour.
Sue Raney was only 18 when she was fortunate in having the consummate arranger Nelson Riddle do all the arrangements for her debut album. Despite her tender years, the maturity of her voice and presentation is still exemplary in conveying both the meaning and emotion conveyed by the song.
Today's young pop divas could learn a much-needed lesson in restraint and sensitive lyric interpretation without belting everything at the top of their lungs.
