Somehow you have to go back...
pre 1950s... pre war ... to get
really nostalgic

Thought this was a British song..
maybe cockney or from the Music Halls... but no... must be from Hollywood !

don't mean to be pedantic but shouldn't this be in the music forum?

Nostalgia doesn't belong in any particular time period. It's an entirely personal thing.

Oh, that's a lovely song!

Vitamin C's Graduation holds a heck of a lot of nostalgia, personally.

It was. Written by an American in Britain with lyrics by an English man.

Wiki.

Nostalgia isn't what it used to be........

Looks like Nat is the brains behind that wonderful song....


Nathaniel Davis Ayer ( 1887 – 1952), usually billed as Nat D. Ayer, was an American composer, pianist, singer and actor.
He made most of his career composing and performing in England in Edwardian musical comedy and revue.
He also contributed songs to Broadway shows, including some of the Ziegfeld Follies.

I recognise Doris Day...........don't know who the bloke is !

Here's a marvellous piece of nostalgia from the last year of the War when the 'boys' were becoming to come home............

I think Jo Stafford was like the American Vera Lynn..........

Long Ago and Far Away............

Definitly another candidate for nostalgia...

interesting that the guy who wrote the words for this song.... Clifford Grey ......
also wrote the lyrics for "If you were the only girl in the world "

That song is probably based on some old Bach fugue ..... !
am I wrong ?

Interesting that ... If you were the only girl in the world.... came out
in London in 1916.... so it could have made the music halls after all !

Wish me luck... as you wave me goodbye....
