- Arranged by Jack Andrews
- With Mitchell Ayres' Orchestra
- and the
Ray Charles Singers
- Recorded
February 12 ~ 20 & March 5 ~ 12, 1958
- Produced
by Joe Reisman
- Recording Engineer: Bob Simpson
-
- Notes: ~ sung by Fuzzy Knight
in the 1936 drama "The Trail of the Lonesome
Pine" starring
- Henry Fonda and Fred MacMurray which
was the first outdoor film in full Technicolor. It was
- the title song in the 1941 film "Twilight on the
Trail" starring William Boyd who later became
- known
as Hopalong Cassidy. Bing Crosby had a hit recording for
Decca which was a favorite
- of President Franklin D.
Roosevelt. A gift to the President, through Mrs.
Roosevelt, of Alter's
- manuscript and Crosby's record are
now part of the collection of the FDR Museum in Hyde
Park,
- New York. Perry Como performed this song on his
television show within a segment reserved for
- songs of
reflection which usually came at the end of the show. The
sentiment expressed within
- this song is very similar to
"When You Come to the End of the Day" which
also came to be an
- end of show theme and the title of Mr.
Como's next album following the recorded sessions for
- "Saturday Night With Mr. C." These songs were
among the first full stereophonic recordings
- made by Mr.
C. in 1958.
