Begin the Beguine is one of the most BEAUTIFUL songs Jo Stafford ever recorded!
This song was written by Cole Porter in the mid 30's and has been recorded by many singers but for me, Jo's version is simply THE BEST!!!!!

The only thing which has no talent is your opinion but you are right to use the term humble ( dfn: low estimate of one's own importance).
As many others have said, she had a voice which was unsurpassed in her time. Wonderful music and treasured memories of a truly fine singer. RIP Jo

When I was a child I loved her voice -- a beautiful, easy, relaxed, slighly smoky voice with very little inflection, it let you hear the song without commenting on it; and she was always in the sweet spot, the pitch was so perfectly placed, it shone like the moon. You knew where you were with her.

The only thing that ... ( 1 month ago by hakeva)

The only thing that has no talent, and I might add no intelligence or taste is you! It's unfortunate that Jo's fans have to put up with such insulting stupidity. I always say if you don't have anything nice to say, why say it? What's more if you don't like listening to something, why not switch off and keep your own humble, offensive opinion to yourself.
Jo Stafford had a unique velvet sound, which will live on for future generations thanks to her many wonderful recordings. RIP Jo

Grateful for the tremendous voice of Jo Stafford. Her death is a great loss. The movie "De-Lovely" (about Cole Porter) has Sheryl Crow singing Begin the Beguine. It completely lacks the great melodic power of Jo. Here is vocal is to me one of the few better whose version is beter than Artie Shaw's instrumental instrumental recording. That is a real compliment. There is an excellent obituary of Jo in Time, Aug. 4. Will miss the great Jo Stafford, but thanks to You Tube she still lives!
