Thanks Jo. Still remembered and loved. Best wishes to all fans from 87 year old long time English admirer. August, 2023.

Jo Stafford could sing the yellow pages, & it would be pure gold ! a

The Cole Porter imagery and lyrics are moving. Jo Staffords voice in the last phrase…Dim, rim, hill, chill, still. Wow. In the beginning the moon is in flight, by the end the moon is fading down out of sight. The mystery of the moon. The mystery of her dreams.

Anything Jo Stafford sings is magical.

b-side of Jo's monster hit "You Belong to Me"--or so I remember from my father's 78 rpm Capitol record.

No one can ever ever replace her. Gorgeous voice.

My favorite vocalized version of this rather mysterious classic perennial joy

Actor Bill Powell was a huge fan of Stafford and owned every album she ever made.

In the still of the night
As I gaze from my window
At the moon in its flight
My thoughts all stray to you

In the still of the night
While the world is in slumber
Oh, the times without number
Darling, when I say to you

Do you love me as I love you
Are you my life to be, my dream come true
Or will this dream of mine fade out of sight
Like the moon growing dim on the rim of the hill
In the chill, still of the night

Great Great song and Great Great voice of Jo Stafford..

Like it was back in the old Capitol years in old Hollywood. As if the days have never gone bye...

Just superb, as is the norm with this singer. Thanks for posting this lovely rendition.

I've run out of superlatives for Jo Stafford.

[suzannebisson]

Was that music or what? I could listen to Cole Porter all day long. What a voice Jo Stafford had. Thank you for this.

[LoveTheOConnor]

I love this song, Jim, and Ms. Stafford's is one of the best I've heard. Love all the wonderful pictures of her. Thanks so much for sharing, this made my day! Have a marvelous upcoming week :))

[ascenbach]

Beautifully sung. If only it had been done a cappella! The cheerful orchestration is contrary to the melancholy of the song.

[hilaryapril]

Love that she is not a soprano and her many different looks...is that really the same woman?

Wie stark ist nicht dein Zauberton, Jo!!!
