1944 Bing Burke Crosby Jimmy Johnny Movie Paramount Price Sheet Shilling Sings Song Stars Title Track Words
EDITORS COMMENTS
Going My Way," a captivating title track from the 1944 Paramount film of the same name, graces this vintage music cover. Sung by the iconic crooner Bing Crosby, this track was penned by the talented duo Johnny Burke and Jimmy Van Heusen. The lyrics, filled with longing and determination, resonated deeply with audiences during the wartime era of the 1940s. The cover design is a visual representation of the song's essence. A monochrome palette of red, white, black, and grey dominates the image, reflecting the mood of the times. The title, "Going My Way," is prominently displayed in bold, white letters, while Bing Crosby's name is subtly placed below. The sheet music's price, "6d," is indicated in the bottom left corner, a shilling in old currency. Bing Crosby, an enduring star of the 1940s, brought this song to life in the film "Going My Way," which told the story of a priest navigating his way through the challenges of urban life. The film, released during World War II, provided a much-needed escape for audiences, offering a glimpse of hope and inspiration amidst the tumultuous times. This music cover is a testament to the enduring power of music and the art of songwriting. The collaboration between Burke and Van Heusen resulted in a timeless classic that continues to resonate with listeners today. The image of this cover, with its evocative design and poignant lyrics, serves as a reminder of the past and the enduring influence of music on our lives. The John Barrett Collection at Mary Evans Prints Online is a treasure trove of historical images, and this music cover is just one of the many gems waiting to be discovered. Whether you're a music historian, a film buff, or simply someone who appreciates the beauty of vintage design, this cover is sure to captivate and inspire you.
