For Kathleen McDonnell. My version is arranged from Elvis self accompanied piano version. I'll Take You Home Again, Kathleen is a popular song written by Thomas P. Westendorf in 1875. In spite of its American origins, it is known and revered as an Irish ballad. Westendorf, then teaching at the reform school known as the Indiana House of Refuge for Juvenile Offenders in Hendricks County, Ind., wrote it / apparently / for his wife (who was, however, named Jennie). It's in the form of an "answer" to a popular ballad of the time, "Barney, Take Me Home Again," composed by Westendorf's close friend, George W. Brown, writing under the nom de plume of George W. Persley.[1][2] "The church is blowing a sad windblown 'Kathleen' on the bells..." is the first sentence of Jack Kerouac's novel Big Sur. A bit further: "I hear 'I'll Take You Home Again Kathleen' being bellroped so sad in the fog winds out there..."Recorded versions[edit source] Frank Connors (released by Varsity Records (a label of the Wright Record Company) as catalog number 519, with the flip side "When Irish Eyes Are Smiling"[3]) Bing Crosby and John Scott Trotter's Orchestra (recorded July 17, 1945, released by Decca Records as catalog numbers 18721B[4] and 28261,[5] both with the flip side "The Bells of St. Mary's";[4][5] also as catalog number 23789B with the flip side "Too-Ra-Loo-Ra-Loo-Ral"[6]) Merv Griffin (released by RCA Victor Records as catalog number 20-4749, with the flip side "Wild Colonial Boy"[7]) Irish tenor Josef Locke recorded a version around the late 1940s.

He can be seen rehearsing the song by himself in the 1981 documentary This Is Elvis as taken from the footage for the 1970 film That's the Way It Is. He can also be heard performing the same song while in the Army while stationed in Germany in the so-called "Bad Neuheim Medley" of the 1997 RCA CD boxset Platinum : A Life In Music. Michael Crawford performed the song for his album In Concert in 1998, and also in his concert tour. Mitch Miller / Favorite Irish Folk Songs / Originally released 1959. Ken Curtis and The Sons of the Pioneers / Featured in Rio Grande, the last of John Wayne's "Cavalry Trilogy" classic western movies, as "The Regimental Singers" singing to Wayne and Maureen O'Hara. Slim Whitman recorded a version in 1957, on Imperial 8310, also issued in the UK on London HLP 8403. In the Star Trek episode, "The Naked Time" (first aired Sep. 29, 1966), the crew of the Enterprise is affected by a substance, unknowingly picked from an uninhabited frozen world about to break up, that brings repressed feelings and behavior to the surface. One crewman, Kevin Thomas Riley, who fancies himself a descendant of Irish kings, locks himself in Engineering and shuts the engines off, causing the ship to fall out of orbit toward the disintegrating planet. While the behavior-altering disease spreads through the ship, and the ship continues to fall toward the planet, Riley adds to the stress by repeatedly singing, "I'll Take You Home Again, Kathleen" in a half-drunken way through speakers he has locked open throughout the ship. On March 31, 1971 Johnny Cash sang a version of this song on the 56th episode of his television show The Johnny Cash Show (TV series).
Schorr Mendelssohn Fredrich Bayreuth Wagner Whitehill 1888 1929 1931 1943 1953
An alternate version of one of yesterday's postings. Fredrich Schorr singing Es Ist Genug (It Is Enough) from Mendelssohn's Elijah recorded for Electrola (HMV) in 1929. Schorr +••.••(...)) was, of course, one of the greatest Wagnerian baritones (arguably THE greatest) from the history of recording. He was born in Hungary and enjoyed an international career appearing often in the US and at Bayreuth. Being a Jew, he saw the handwriting on the wall early and moved to Connecticut (USA) in 1931 where he remained until his death. He was THE Wagnerian baritone at the MET after Whitehall until his retirement in 1943. Almost all of the pre-1931 Electrola records I have of him are of Wagner, but this records shows that that wasn't all he could sing. Exceptionally beautiful with more of a plaintiff quality than with Whitehill. A record highly praised by critics then and now. Although different, both versions have great merits and I can't chose between them.
Clarence Whitehill Mendelssohn Wagner 1871 1909 1913 1932 1970 1996
A request. Here is bass/baritone Clarence Whitehill +••.••(...)) singing a selection from Mendelssohn's Elijah: It Is Enough. Recorded for Victor in 1913. Another example of one the hundreds of currently unknown or little known singers of the early 20th century who far surpass almost anyone around today. Whitehill was born in Iowa, studied in Europe and was with the Met from 1909 until the year before his death. Particularly known for his Wagner although some critics thought that his interpretations were rather staid (I am about to post some). However, he was universally acclaimed as an oratorio singer and this selection reveals why. A beautiful timbre with incredible technique. Perfect control of his voice. Except for a couple of single selections in some LP anthologies in the 1970's and a Claremont CD in 1996, YT may be the only way to hear him.
