All through the day
All Through the Day is a song by Jerome Kern (music) and Oscar Hammerstein (lyrics) that was released in 1945.
Arlen and Mercer wrote the song All Through the Day for the film Centennial Summer (1946, director: Otto Preminger ), with Jeanne Crain and Cornel Wilde in the leading roles. The song is presented in the film by Larry Stevens, Cornel Wilde and Louanne Hogan, who dubbed the vocals for actress Jeanne Crain. All Through the Day received an Oscar nomination for Best Song in 1947 .
According to Don Tyler, Jerome Kern's song was "not as operatic as his previous songs"; “Even a master like Kern struggled to bridge the discrepancy between operetta , which was previously modern, and popular music , which was now in vogue.” Translated, the first lines of the song read: “I dream of all day long of the night / I dream of the night with you / All day long I wish that time would pass until the moment when I am with you ”. The music for Centennial Summer was Jerome Kern's last work for the film; it also contained the song In Love in Vain , which he had written with Leo Robin .
All Through the Day was # 1 on Your Hit Parade ; the most successful was the version by Frank Sinatra ; but Perry Como / Russ Morgan ( RCA Victor 20-1814) and Margaret Whiting (Capitol 240) also made it into the charts. The song was recorded around 1946 by Bing Crosby (Decca 23680), (Columbia 36962), Ray Bloch (Signature), Dick Haymes / Helen Forrest , Tommy Madman Jones (Sterling 7001), Vincent Lopez (Mercury 3004), Art Mooney (Vogue Picture Record R-730), The Three Sun (Majestic 7175) and recorded; and Woody Herman and His Orchestra , Jo Stafford and Charlie Barnet had the song in Livereperoire.
