The song Lou was whistling


It was after he found out he was sick, and I think he was getting dressed or putting on a tie. It sounded kind of like "There's Always Tommorrow" from Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer, but that was 22 years later. Anyone know the song I'm referring to?

reply

I don't know about RUDOLPH, but "THE" song for PRIDE OF THE YANKEES was the Irving Berlin song, "I'LL BE LOVING YOU, ALWAYS". Could this be what you mean?

reply

Yeah, I'm pretty sure that's it. I had to double check to be sure. I think the part that sounded similar to me from the Rudolph song was the bridge. Thanks!

The song "Always" has its own love story.

Irving Berlin's second wife, Ellin McKay, was a wealthy Catholic socialite. Her father disapproved of the match, either because Berlin was Jewish or because he was a songwriter, and disowned his daughter upon her marriage. Berlin wrote the song "Always" for his wife and assigned all the royalties to her as a wedding gift, so that she would not feel she was dependent on him. The two were married for 62 years, before her death.

So it is not only one of Berlin's best known love songs, but totally appropriate to the love story between Lou and Eleanor.
