Lee Morse - I Still Get A Thrill (Thinking Of You) 1930 video free download

This Song Peaked On US Music Charts At #20 In 1930.

Lee Morse (November 30, 1897 — December 16, 1954) was an US jazz and blues singer and songwriter whose most popular years were in the 1920s and early 1930s, although her career began around 1917 and continued until her death in 1954. Morse was known for her strong, deep singing voice and vocal range, which often belied the fact that she was merely five feet tall and weighed less than 100 pounds. Among her best known trademarks was her yodeling. Morse was also moderately successful as an actress on the Broadway stage. Her life and career, however, was marred by alcoholism.

Lee Morse was a popular singer of the 1920s and early 1930s. She is best remembered today for the backing bands that were assembled for her recording sessions under the name of the Bluegrass Boys. The bands featured many of the best White jazz musicians of the 1920s. Presumably the band was called the Bluegrass Boys to make it sound like they were from the South (Kentucky is called the Bluegrass state). Lee Morse's family had Southern roots but she grew up in Oregon and Idaho, but few if any of the excellent Jazz musicians who played on these records were from the South. The band's music had nothing to do with the string band style of music that arose in the 1940s called Bluegrass.

I STILL GET A THRILL (THINKING OF YOU)

(J. Fred Coots / Benny Davis)

Lyrics:

Because I still get a thrill thinking of you

And I still feel your lips kissing me too

Although our love affair wasn't to be

I wonder if you care, care about me

I still remember that night under the moon

I recall that it all ended to soon

I can't believe you're gone, memories linger on

'Cause I still get a thrill thinking of you

(Orchestral Break)

Although our love affair wasn't to be

I wonder if you care, care about me

I still remember that night under the moon

I recall that it all ended to soon

I can't believe you're gone, memories linger on

'Cause I still get a thrill thinking of you
