With A Song in Our Hearts ****
6 December 2007
What wonderful memories of Jane Froman I have from these 15 minute television shows.

Jane was just awesome here. The show came out around the same time as the great biographical film about Jane starring Susan Hayward in the title role.

The show began and ended with Jane singing her trademark song- With A Song in My Heart. No one but no one, including Perry Como, could belt that song out like Jane did. It was truly her song. In fact, we owe a debt to Rodgers and Hart for writing it.

Naturally, in 15 minutes, how much could be shown? Fortunately, we were not bothered with commercials nearly to the extent that we have them today.

Jane danced and always wore long dresses to conceal the brace on her leg that she wore from the time of her 1943 plane accident.

I vividly remember Arthur and Catherine Murray appearing on the show and Jane danced the waltz.

...But I always knew, I could live life through-

With a song in my heart for you!
