The 1946 popular song "Oh! What It Seemed to Be" was written by Bennie Benjamin, George David Weiss, and Frankie Carle. It became a major hit version for artists like Frankie Carle (with vocalist Marjorie Hughes) and Frank Sinatra. While Frank sings this song I can see the old Dance Halls filled with young people dancing together on the weekends after working hard all week. Life was simple in those days. I can see my father playing the piano with his band, bringing some happiness to the small towns where they entertained. Have you heard this song before?

Bonus -- Danny Kaye, one of the great physical comedians of all time, as Burleigh Sullivan in The Kid from Brooklyn. Danny plays a timid milkman unknowingly coerced to become a boxer they rename Tiger, so that an unscrupulous manager (Walter Abel) and his associates (Steve Cochran, Eve Arden) can make money betting against him when he loses. In this scene, trainer Spider (Lionel Stander) tries to teach Burleigh how to box. "The Kid from Brooklyn," 1946 have you seen films with Danny Kaye?
