Richard Benjamin "Dick" Haymes (September 13, 1918 – March 28, 1980) was an Argentine actor and singer. He was one of the most popular male vocalists of the 1940s and early 1950s. He was the older brother of Bob Haymes, an actor, television host, and songwriter.
Haymes was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina in 1918. His mother, whom Haymes predeceased, was Irish-born Marguerite Haymes (1894–1987), a well-known vocal coach and instructor. Dick Haymes became a vocalist in a number of big bands, worked in Hollywood, on radio, and in films throughout the 1940s/1950s.
Though never achieving the immensely popular status of fellow baritone crooners like Bing Crosby, Frank Sinatra, or Perry Como, Haymes was nonetheless just as respected for his musical ability. On September 3, 1942, Sinatra introduced Haymes on radio as Sinatra's replacement in the Tommy Dorsey band. Prior to joining Dorsey's group, Haymes sang with the Harry James orchestra.
In 1945 Haymes co-starred with Jeanne Crain, Dana Andrews and Vivian Blaine in the musical State Fair. He teamed with female vocalist Helen Forrest for many hit duets during World War Two, including "Together," "I'll Buy That Dream," and "Long Ago and Far Away"; he sang with Judy Garland on two Decca recordings of songs from the film The Shocking Miss Pilgrim, in which he appeared with Betty Grable.

You’ll Never Know (Gordon-Warren) by Dick Haymes and The Song Spinners (CD audio source) Harry Warren & Mack Gordon’s Oscar-winning song, memorably sung by Alice Faye in “Hello Frisco, Hello,” is represented here by the three 1943 recordings that made appearances on Billboard’s weekly Top-10 record chart. The million-selling Haymes version was among the year’s foremost hits, spending four weeks at #1. See also Frank Sinatra and Willie Kelly. This is a ‘recording ban’ hit, performed a cappella (all vocal...no musical instruments) due to the ongoing strike against the recording industry by James C. Petrillo’s American Federation of Musicians which began August 1, 1942, and remained in effect for each of the major labels until they reached agreement on a new contract with the union. THE ...

"The Nearness of You" ... written by Hoagy Carmichael in 1938, Lyrics by Ned Washington... The song was originally featured in the 1938 film 'Romance in the Dark'... It's not the pale moon that excites me That thrills and delights me, oh no It's just the nearness of you It isn't your sweet conversation That brings this sensation, oh no It's just the nearness of you When you're in my arms and I feel you so close to me All my wildest dreams came true I need no soft lights to enchant me If you'll only grant me the right To hold you ever so tight And to feel in the night the nearness of you

Laura
Dick Haymes
Words by Johnny Mercer and music by David Raskin.
Theme melody from the film "Laura."
Introduced by Johnny Johnston on radio.
Laura is the face in the misty lights.
Footsteps that you hear down the hall.
The love that floats on a summer night,
That you can never quite recall.
And you see Laura on a train that is passing through.
Those eyes how familiar they seem
She gave your very first kiss to you,
That was Laura but she's only a dream.
