Danny Boy

"Danny Boy" is a ballad written by English songwriter Frederic Weatherly and usually set to the Irish tune of the "Londonderry Air". It is most closely associated with Irish communities.

History

Initially written to a tune other than "Londonderry Air", the words to "Danny Boy" were penned by English lawyer and lyricist Frederic Weatherly in Bath, Somerset in 1910. After his Irish-born sister-in-law Margaret (known as Jess) in the United States sent him a copy of "Londonderry Air" in 1913 (an alternative version has her singing the air to him in 1912 with different lyrics), Weatherly modified the lyrics of "Danny Boy" to fit the rhyme and meter of "Londonderry Air".

Weatherly gave the song to the vocalist Elsie Griffin, who made it one of the most popular songs in the new century; and, in 1915, Ernestine Schumann-Heink produced the first recording of "Danny Boy".

Jane Ross of Limavady is credited with collecting the melody of "Londonderry Air" in the mid-19th century from a musician she encountered.

    Danny Boy (1946 film)

    Danny Boy is a 1946 American film directed by Terry O. Morse. The film is also known as Adventures of Danny Boy (American TV title).

    Plot

    Danny Boy is a well trained German shepherd dog that has been in service with the U.S. Marines, but which is now returned to his previous owner, young Jimmy Bailey.

    Jimmy discovers that his best friend has changed while away, and doesn't recognize him anymore. Jimmy's ex-marine friend Joe Cameron tells him to be patient and spend a lot of time with the dog, take it to all the familiar places they used to go to, and play the same games as they used to.

    Soon Danny Boy starts to become his old self, but the mean next door neighbor, Frank "Grumpy" Andrews, claims that the dog is a danger to public safety, being a former war-dog. When Jimmy breaks the neighbor's window by accident while playing baseball, the neighbor threatens to call the police.

    Jimmy vows to pay for the repair, and he and the other boys start vending lemonade in the street to raise the money. Meanwhile, a nearby farmer sees the beautiful dog and tells Andrews that he wants it. Without scruples, Andrews helps the farmer to steal the dog in the night, and the new "owner" starts abusing Danny Boy to make him obedient. Danny Boy runs away from the farmer and returns to Jimmy, bruised and battered. The dog thief is disclosed when Danny Boy attacks the farmer upon his return to the street. Andrews tries to shoot the dog, and gets bitten. The police are called to the scene, but Jimmy escapes with hjs dog before they arrive.

    The Supremes

    The Supremes were an American female singing group and the premier act of Motown Records during the 1960s. Founded as the Primettes in Detroit, Michigan, in 1959, the Supremes were the most commercially successful of Motown's acts and are, to date, America's most successful vocal group with 12 number one singles on the Billboard Hot 100. Most of these hits were written and produced by Motown's main songwriting and production team, Holland–Dozier–Holland. At their peak in the mid-1960s, the Supremes rivaled the Beatles in worldwide popularity, and it is said that their success made it possible for future African American R&B and soul musicians to find mainstream success.

    Founding members Florence Ballard, Mary Wilson, Diana Ross, and Betty McGlown, all from the Brewster-Douglass public housing project in Detroit, formed the Primettes as the sister act to the Primes (with Paul Williams and Eddie Kendricks, who went on to form the Temptations).Barbara Martin replaced McGlown in 1960, and the group signed with Motown the following year as the Supremes. Martin left the act in early 1962, and Ross, Ballard, and Wilson carried on as a trio.

    Sleep Walk

    by: The Supremes

    (Don Wolf/Santo Farina/Johnny Farina/AnnFarina)
    Sleep walk
    Instead of dreaming
    I sleep walk
    'Cause I lost you
    And now what am I to do
    What to do
    Can't believe that we're through
    I don't care how much you tell me
    Sleep talk
    'Cause I miss you
    I sleep talk
    While the memory of you
    Lingers like a song
    Darling, I was so wrong
    But I'll be right someday
    The night
    Fills my lonely place
    I see your face
    Spinning through my brain
    I know
    I miss you so
    I still love you
    And it drives me insaneSleep walk
    Every night
    I just sleep walk
    And when you
    Walk inside the door
    I will sleep walk no more
    Sleep walk
    Every night
    I just sleep walk
    And when you
    Walk inside the door
    I will sleep walk no more
    I will sleep walk no more
    I will sleep walk no more
