Jo Stafford: 'You Belong To Me'
YouTube Video from: Larry Hinze
Scroll down slowly and checkout
the pictures as you listen to the song.
See the pyramids along the Nile
Just remember darling, all the while
You belong to me.
Send me photographs and souvenirs.
Just remember when a dream appears
You belong to me.
I'll be so alone without you
Maybe you be lonesome too, and blue
Just remember till you're home again
You belong to me.
The song was originally written by Pee Wee King, Chilton Price, and Redd Stewart and recorded by American singer Jo Stafford in 1952. It became a number one hit on the US and UK charts and Stafford became a pop star. Famed in the 40s and 50s she was American, involved in pops, jazz and standards.
It has also been covered by many singers like Bob Dylan, Tori Amos, the Duprees, Bette Midler and even Ringo Star. The song has appeared on nearly two dozen movie sound tracks.
I was only 12 years old when I heard this song and singing it even today, 70 years later. She came about the same time as Patti Page, Doris Day and later Connie Francis, another two of my favourite lady singers from those days of yore.
from the 50s and 60s.
'You belong to me,' sung by Tori Amos, is heard
in the background in this movie, called,
'Mona Lisa Smile,' [2003] with Julia Roberts.

Interesting choice of song. I remember that Patti Page also sang this song. My seniors in the nursing homes can't get enough of this song. Guess it's about travelling overseas and trips they did in days gone by.
Andy....love this melody *You belong to me* ever since it played over the airwave. Especially on a slow lazy evening, reminiscing of our days gone by,too fast,too soon.
Sadly, We don't get to hear any of these melodies no more🙏Thanks for the memories, ANDY
Thanks to both Cedric and Richard for your informative and nostalgic comments.
It is true that such songs are not heard much today except on certain radio programmes. But the memory lives on.
