"Sentimental Journey" is a popular song, published in 1944. The music was written by Les Brown and Ben Homer, and the lyrics were written by Bud Green. ==History== Les Brown and His Band of Renown had been performing the song, but were unable to record it because of the 1942–44 musicians' strike. When the strike ended, the band, with Doris Day as vocalist, had a hit record with the song, Day's first #1 hit, in 1945. The song's release coincided with the end of WWII in Europe and became the unofficial homecoming theme for many veterans.〔 The recording was released by Columbia Records as catalog number 36769, with the flip side "Twilight Time".〔(Columbia Records in the 36500 to 36999 series )〕 The record first reached the ''Billboard'' charts on March 29, 1945 and lasted 23 weeks on the chart, peaking at #1.〔 〕 The song actually reached the charts after the later-recorded "My Dreams Are Getting Better All the Time". About this same time, the Merry Macs had a recording following Brown and Day which featured a bouncy arrangement where the group modulates (or augments) the verse eight times in the last half of the song. A vocal feat for any group attempting to record a song in one take without the benefit of tape editing in that era of modern recording. The song later became something of a standard with jazz artists and was recorded, among others, by Buck Clayton with Woody Herman and by Ben Sidran. Frank Sinatra recorded his version of the song in 1961. Rosemary Clooney issued an album ''Sentimental Journey'' (2001) which included the song. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sentimental Journey (song)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
