REBECCA LUKER TELLS THE WHOLE WIDE WORDL OF HER LOVE REBECCA LUKER TELLS THE WHOLE WIDE WORLD OF HER LOVE

Rebecca Luker Tells The Whole Wide World Of Her Love

 Rodgers & Hart wrote "I'll Tell The Man On The Street: for the 1938 show I Married Angel. The introductory verse rejects the traditional privacy of a passionate love by " Not telling of her love to the red, red rose Or to the babbling brook, where the sweet magnolia grows Or the Whipporwill on the hill above."-   All the usual poetic and private imagery often found in love songs.
Instead the main chorus asserts that she''ll " Tell the man on the street and everyone I meet, That you and I are sweethearts."
Accompanied by the Boston Pops, Rebecca Luker delivers this poignant message  with great sincerity and sweetness letting the whole ,wide world know of her now very public love.

On a personal note, I sang and played this song at my son's wedding and when I came to sing the lines " And when you're old and grey, You''ll never get away from me"  the married woman in the audience over the age of 50 did show some tears. Not because of my performance but of the memory of their own lifelong marriages when they too, began to grow older and accumulate grey hair.
