"The Bad and the Beautiful" was soap, purely and simply, but enjoyable nevertheless. Kirk Douglas is always a ham. "Love is for the very young". That makes me laugh heartily. A bit like "love means never having to say you're sorry"? One thing about being older (cough) is that you realize the capacity to fall in love is just as strong as it was when you were 18 - rather alarmingly!!!    Posted:   Jul 13, 2013 - 2:29 AM     By:   TheFamousEccles   (Member) "Love is for the Very Young" was Raksin's own title for his piece - when Dory Langdon Previn later wrote lyrics for it, she retitled the song "The Bad and the Beautiful." It's a very nice lyric, with a distinctly world-weary bent to it, though I still prefer thinking of it as a wordless "siren song," as Raksin had originally written it.    Posted:   Jul 13, 2013 - 3:09 AM     By:   Regie   (Member) "Love is for the Very Young" was Raksin's own title for his piece - when Dory Langdon Previn later wrote lyrics for it, she retitled the song "The Bad and the Beautiful."

Thanks for the information!    Posted:   Jul 13, 2013 - 2:54 PM     By:   sheetmusicman   (Member) It is also interesting how many variations there are to something like LAURA featuring covers using photos of various band leaders like Tommy Dorsey and Woody Herman. Definitely film music promotion from another area. And undoubtedly a contributing factor to the enduring popularity of a film theme from 69 years ago.    Posted:   Jul 13, 2013 - 5:35 PM     By:   dan the man   (Member) PAUL FRANCIS WEBSTER WAS ANOTHER TOP NOTCH LYRICIST.    Posted:   May 16, 2019 - 7:21 PM     By:   Sir David of Garland   (Member) LAURA lyrics by Johnny Mercer I accidentally have 2 copies of this: none have the picture covers!    Posted:   Oct 1, 2019 - 6:56 PM     By:   Sir David of Garland   (Member) LAURA lyrics by Johnny Mercer I accidentally have 2 copies of this: none have the picture covers! I just found an arrangement of this by George Shearing.    Posted:   Jan 12, 2021 - 5:47 PM     By:   Sir David of Garland   (Member) We continue our series of sheet music covers with the works of DAVID RAKSIN.

Anybody know why "Forever Amber" was not included in the "Timeless Melodies of DR" book?    Posted:   Mar 16, 2021 - 6:41 PM     By:   Sir David of Garland   (Member) Anybody know why "Forever Amber" was not included in the "Timeless Melodies of DR" book? Whoa, Nellie! "Amber" is not even in this SheetMusicMan collection! The only version available online is the instrumental, not the vocal: https://www.sheetmusicnow.com/products/forever-amber-p305447 And check out the performance note from DR himself!    Posted:   Sep 3, 2022 - 4:06 PM     By:   Sir David of Garland   (Member) Hey, hey, hey! I just discovered that there's sheet music for DAISY KENYON! "You Can't Run Away from Love" (Raksin, Mack Gordon) https://oac.cdlib.org/findaid/ark:/13030/kt5j49r1vz/dsc/?dsc.position=57501 There's also a copy in the Denver Public Library. But even if I put my bike on the transit, my bus pass still won't get me close enough to see it. Darn-it!    Posted:   Sep 10, 2022 - 4:36 PM     By:   Sir David of Garland   (Member) Hey, hey, hey!

I'll clue you into a caveat, if you do.     General Discussion: NEW Sheet Music Man #109- DAVID RAKSIN    < 1  >   Go to page:  1   First Post    General Discussion • Trading Post • Non-Film Score Discussion  Profile • Preferences • Community Rules • Help/Contact • Search Board You must log in or register to post.   Go to page:  1
