Показать описание
Enrico Caruso sings - with enormous gusto - George M. Cohan's 'Over There,' with orchestra conducted by Josef Pasternack. The recording was made by Victor at Camden on 11 July 1918.

Caruso sings the first verse in English and the second in French. His personality and sincerity shine through as he sings:

Johnnie, get your gun, get your gun, get your gun:
Take it on the run, on the run, on the run.
Hear them calling you and me,
Every son of liberty:
Hurry right away, no delay, go today
Make your daddy glad to have had such a lad!
Tell your sweetheart not to pine,
To be proud her boy's in line.

Over there, over there,
Send the word, send the word over there,
That the boys are coming,
The boys are coming,
The drums rum tumming everywhere!
So prepare, say a prayer,
Send the word, send the word to beware.
We'll be over, we're coming over,
And we won't come back till it's over, over there!

From Wikipedia: Enrico Caruso (25 February 1873 – 2 August 1921) was an Italian operatic tenor. He sang to great acclaim at the major opera houses of Europe and the Americas, appearing in a wide variety of roles (74) from the Italian and French repertoires that ranged from the lyric to the dramatic. One of the first major singing talents to be commercially recorded, Caruso made 247 commercially released recordings from 1902 to 1920, which made him an international popular entertainment star.

잘은 모르지만, 지금까지 들어오던 Caruso 의 노래들과는 다른 스타일의 노래같아요. 새로운 느낌이네요. 잘 들었어요.

Certainly a fitting time to hear this wonderful record again. I never knew of this disc until i had been a fan of Caruso for some time. It was as if it had been hidden from me. Despite his Italianate English, there is nothing so powerfully rowsing and inspirational as his voice in this. A true legend who escaped the world of opera momentarily to lift the people!
