Avant de mourir / My prayer - ..Tanz-Orchester Geza Komor .. (1929)

Описание: "Avant de mourir" (lit. Before I die) was composed by famed Romanian violinist, composer and conductor Georges Boulanger (1893-1958). It is a beautiful haunting sad melody which became a enormous hit for Boulanger. In 1939 English lyrics were added to the music and "Avant de mourir" became "My prayer" -recorded by the orchestra of Glenn Miller and other bands... In 1958 the song was revived by The Platters and spent 21 weeks at number 1 in the US charts.

The version presented here was recorded by orchestra of Geza Komor. It was released as flip side to "Jalousie". For his version of "Jalousie" see my channel or click link below :
