Vaughn Monroe - My Devotion (1942) video free download
Charted at #5 in September 1942. Original Billboard review: "The appealing love ballad in the "My Devotion" side, with its simple melody, makes excellent song material for the maestro. Monroe embellishes the tune with an attractive score. Setting it in the slow tempo, muted trumpet and alto sax share half a chorus to start the side and the maestro takes over to sing it for a complete chorus."
Also #2 for Charlie Spivak and His Orchestra, #10 for Jimmy Dorsey and His Orchestra (vocal by Bob Eberly) and #13 for the Four King Sisters, all in 1942. Recorded by the Angels (with Linda Jansen on lead) in the 1960's.
Written by Roc Hillman and Johnny Napton.
B-side is "When I Grow Up".

I saw Vaughn Monroe with the Chesterfield Hour in Grand Rapids, Michigan; he presented a very entertaining show. He had a beautiful and distinctive voice. Roger Plafkin-Plafkin Farms, Ada, Michigan12 years ago
