Darling my heart sends greetings to you

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Darling, my heart sends you greetings is a slowfox-tempo song that Werner Richard Heymann composed in 1930 for Wilhelm Thiele's sound film operetta Die Drei von der Gasstelle , the text is by Robert Gilbert . The song was published by Ufaton-Verlag Munich-Berlin. The film, produced by Erich Pommer for UFA , premiered in 1930. There was also a French version entitled Le Chemin du Paradis , for which Charles Boyer wrote the lyrics.

The song is sung in a duet by the main actors Willy Fritsch and Lilian Harvey . In a nightclub scene, the Comedian Harmonists , dressed as bartenders, perform it .

It also became a huge hit on the gramophone record. Well-known dance orchestras from the Weimar Republic such as Marek Weber , Dajos Béla and Ben Berlin have taken on refrain singers such as Leo Monosson , Kurt Mühlhardt and Marcel Wittrisch . In France it was sung by artists such as Max Réjean from the L'Empire theater and the actor Henri Garat , and it was played by the Orchester de Jazz “Lutetia” and the célèbre accordéoniste H. Bression et son ensemble .

Even after World War II , the song remained popular. Post-war artists such as Willy Hagara and Gerhard Wendland (1955), Friedel Lohr and Heinz Maria Lins (1961), Peter Alexander (1965) and, more recently, the Diseuse Annette Postel and Max Raabe and the Palast Orchester have recorded it. After the "six-eight" a friend, a good friend , it has proven to be the most durable of the songs from this sound film.

The composer Heymann titled his autobiography , published by Hubert Ortkemper in 2011 at Schott in Mainz, Liebling, mein Herz lets you greet .
