TENDERLY
This is Rosemary's hit version from 1952.
Only peaked at #17 but went on to become her
top classic. 'Tenderly' voted the #2
all-time standard song in Billboard's disk
jockey poll. Rosemary's recording voted the
#6.
published in 1946 with music by Walter Lloyd
Gross (1909-1967) and lyrics by Jack
Lawrence. It became a jazz standard.
"Tenderly" has been recorded by many artists
(70 at last count!), but perhaps the
best-known version was by ROSEMARY CLOONEY.
Clooney's recorded version reached only #17
on the Billboard magazine pop charts in early
1952, but IS MORE POPULAR THAN THE CHART DATA
WOULD SUGGEST, as is evidenced by the fact
that Tenderly served as the theme song for
Clooney's 1956-1957 TV variety show.
Randolph E. "Randy" Brooks (1919-1967),
trumpeter and leader of the top rated Randy
Brooks Band, may be best known for their
rendition of Tenderly as a most requested
song of 1947. (Information from Wikipedia.)
--LYRICS--
The evening breeze caressed the trees
tenderly
The trembling trees embraced the breeze
tenderly
Then you and I came wandering by
And lost in a sigh were we
The shore was kissed by sea and mist tenderly
I can't forget how two hearts met
breathlessly
Your arms opened wide and closed me inside
You took my lips, you took my love so
tenderly Tags :RosemaryClooneyTenderly
