Torch Song is a 1953 Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Technicolor romantic musical drama film starring Joan Crawford and Michael Wilding in a story about a Broadway star and her rehearsal pianist. The screenplay by John Michael Hayes and Jan Lustig was based upon the story "Why Should I Cry?" by I. A. R. Wylie in 1949 Saturday Evening Post. The film was directed by Charles Walters and produced by Sidney Franklin, Henry Berman, and Charles Schnee. Joan Crawford's singing voice was dubbed by India Adams.
Torch Song has gained note for the musical number "Two-Faced Woman" from The Band Wagon in which Crawford, in blackface, lip-syncs to the voice of India Adams while writhing with male dancers. The film marked Crawford's return to MGM after a ten-year absence. Her original recordings for the soundtrack, which were not used in the film, have survived and been included in home video releases.
Jenny Stewart (Joan Crawford) is a tough Broadway musical star, alienating her colleagues with her neurotic demands for absolute perfection. Jenny takes offense when her new rehearsal pianist Tye Graham (Michael Wilding) criticizes her song stylings and ruthless ways.

Musical star Jenny Stewart functions on two emotional levels: demanding and impossible. Only one person will stand up to Jenny: her accompanist, blinded in the war. But it may be Jenny who can't see, not only her own loneliness but also her chance for happiness. Joan Crawford, who began her career as a chorus girl in the 1920s, shows she still has the moves (and the gams) to play Jenny 30 years later. There's more to enjoy in this roller-coaster romantic drama: a volcanic Crawford performance and knockout renditions of "Tenderly, Blue Moon" and more standards staged by director Charles Walters (Easter Parade).

Here's Joan's own track, which was replaced by India Adams (heard at the start) in the released film. This fit in so easily that it would appear it was used during filming. Michael Wilding pretends to play the piano. Just for fun, I've also left in a few of her comments between takes.

Read some Kerouac and it put me on the tracks to burn a little brighter now Something about roman candles fizzing out, shine a little light on me now Found a strange fascination with a liquid fixation, alcohol can thrill me now It's getting late in the game to show any pride or shame I just burn a little brighter now, burn a little brighter now Doctor says my liver looks like leaving with my lover, need another time-out now Like any sort of hero turning down to zero still standing out in any crowd Pulling seventeen with experience and dreams, sweating out a happy hour Where you're hiding 29 you know it ain't a crime To burn a little brighter now, burn a little brighter now Dr. Finlay: "And my advice is if you maintain this lifestyle you won't reach 30" Torch: "Christ - it's ...

Torch Singers usually refers to female vocalists. However Frank Sinatra was also considered a Torch Singer. This video features only female vocalists. I've tried to pick vocalists who get very little radio play but I believe have some serious talent. Hope you enjoy it. 1) Captain Of Her Heart - Randy Crawford 2) Human Nature - Charito 3) Our Day Will Come - KD Lang 4) Ain't Too Good To Be True - Liz Longley 5) Lately - Nnenna Freelon 6) Cry Me A River - Marilyn Scott 7) Malafemmina - Orietta Delli 8) Je t'aime - Lara Fabian 9) Black Coffee - Patricia Kaas 10) If It's Magic - Rigmor Gustafsson 11) Lucky - Kat Edmonson 12) Tea For Two - Jessica Molaskey & John Pizzarelli 13) Watching You Watching Me - Mary Stallings 14) I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For - Gypsy Soul 15) Sound Of Si...

July 1999. Having made 3 mad, fast videos, my fourth was a bit mellower. Set to William Orbit's Torch Song "Toward The Unknown Region", tracks "Raphael", "Ballad of Pearl and John", "Field of View" and "Shine on Me (Aurora Mix)" The video is purely made of mathematically generated fractals (not all by me). Goes quite well with the music, especially the last track. Please note this video can cause a wierd visual dizziness effect: having watched patterns coming towards you for several minutes, afterwards everything may seem to be moving away from you for a short while... This is known as the 'motion after effect illusion', its harmless, it wears off quickly, google it for more info. I have another William Orbit video on my channel: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KVlT1HIcIAM

The light in the crooner's life is an old torch song
Flaming up for his first loves -
Misty romancing and moonlighting dancing into dawn
"You are my sweet theme song
You linger when the spotlights fade
With my sweet theme song I've got it made
Just love me
Run to meet me when I come home
Take my feelings,
Show them a new day.
Make me say;
I will sing again
Jus tlike the brown eyes of autumn years
Singing to the yellow moon
‘The dawn is soon coming'
I will touch again
Dreams in the lonely glass at 4am
And walk onto the foggy street
