The much-acclaimed bandleader / conductor / composer Geraldo was born Gerald Walcan Bright in London on 10 August 1904 , and he died from a heart attack while on holiday in Switzerland on 4 May 1974 , aged 69.

This 78 , released in October 1948 , comprises two familiar songs : " Take Me To Your Heart Again " and " So Rare ". The former is the English version of " La Vie En Rose " , most notably recorded by Edith Piaf. In fact , in 1950 seven versions of " La Vie En Rose " reached the American Top 30 , with Tony Martin doing best at no.9 while Piaf trailed behind at no. 23.

Geraldo was known for his " sweet music " style , also known later as " elevator music " , and he performs " Take Me to Your Heart Again " as a slow fox-trot. I find it very bland , lacking any spark , and he really brings nothing new to it. However , it is redeemed by the impressive contralto of vocalist Doreen Lundy.

Finally , the popular band singer Doreen Lundy ( born in Ireland on 4 November 1925 ; disappeared off the radar , late 1950s ) released a single entitled " Falling Star " on the U.K. Oriole label in 1955. This charming lilting song and also its up-tempo jazzy flip side " A Man " provide her with a good opportunity to display her vocal prowess. Unfortunately , however , neither track is on either this website or YouTube.
