The song is performed by lovely Deanna Durbin from the 1940s.
..not for just a day, not for just a year, but always.
Here is Deanna again singing "Always" composed by Irving Berlin (who wrote "White Christmas").
Deanna serenades her so-star Robert Paige in this scene from her only colour movie, the wonderful "Can't Help Singing" (1945) made towards the end of her career. Deanna was in fact a child star - her voice was said to have "a lyrical quality of almost indescribable sweetness".
The record of "More and More" can be heard at the following link:
One of Deanna's most popular movies was "His Butler's Sister" (1943) in which she sang "Turandot" at the end of the movie, also an earlier Russian song, which Alexander from Silvia's Forum would appreciate. (NB. Alexander spoke to Silvia on my mobile phone when I was at London Airport in July 2004 meeting Silvia before she flew back to Prague - all kindly arranged by Martin Bucek). Below is a photo of Deanna with her co-star Franchot Tone.
Deanna had the largest Fan Club in the world in the late 1930s and saved a Film Studio (Universal) from bankruptcy due to the popularity of her movies. Deanna passed away at the great age of 91 in France to where she retired in the last 1940s.
Film-Maker Joe Pasternak had tried to get Deanna out of retirement to sing with Mario Lanza but she resisted!
Here is a tribute showing all different movie clips whilst Deanna is singing the Russian song from the movie "His Butler's Sister".
The lovely photo of Lea De Mae used in this wallpaper poster above was taken at the AVN Awards in Las Vegas in January 2004.
No one could have imagined it at the time, but this was to be the last Show that Lea ever attended.
Here is wonderful smiling Lea.
The words are from the song "Constantly" made popular in the UK by Cliff Richard. The song was recorded at the Abbey Road Studios in NW. London in November 1963.
Here is Bing Crosby singing "Moonlight Becomes You" to lovely Dorothy Lamour (the Princess Shalamar) from the Hollywood movie "Road To Morocco" (Paramount Pictures 1942).
The recording of "Angel" on RCA in July 1961 - with a tribute to Marilyn Monroe. Elvis sang the song to Ann Helm at the end of his movie "Follow That Dream" (1962).
