Thank you very much for your comment ...Dear David,<br /><br />Thank you very much for your comment about my article on Dick Haymes. I am sure that by now you probably know that Haymes is one of my favorite singers of all time...<br /><br />I agree with what you say about "Now at Last" -- I went back and listened to the track again, and it is indeed a great song, the equal of any of the tracks on the LPs. However, I think it would not completely fit within the framework of any of the two albums, which are made out of standards and songs closely associated with Haymes. That is surely why it was intended for release as a single, but what I don't understand is why it did not become a hit, since it is certainly a beautiful, very evocative song.<br /><br />Cheers,<br /><br />Anton.Anton Garcia-Fernandezhttp://vintagebandstand.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3294031900054194810.post-5908794680394238932010-06-25T09:04:48.420-07:002010-06-25T09:04:48.420-07:00I agree with your comments, except to say that the...I agree with your comments, except to say that the single, "Now At Last I Know," is the equal of any of the LP tracks. Brother Bob Haymes wrote it and it deserves standard status.David Federmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15034765710506561496noreply@blogger.com
