Oh, there in the mist

With the wind and the rain in your hair
Now it will be my favorite memory
That vision of you standing there
Mm, there in the mist
How you sighed when we kissed
With the wind and the rain in your hair

Last night we met
I first saw you last night and we had our first encounter
And I dream of you yet
You are still in my thoughts and I continue to dream about you
With the wind and the rain in your hair
Even amidst the weather elements, you looked captivating with your hair blowing in the wind and rain
I held you tight
I embraced you firmly in my arms
And you whispered "good night"
You softly said goodbye to me
Now it will be my favorite memory
This moment will forever hold a special place in my heart
That vision of you standing there
The image of you standing before me is etched in my mind
Oh, there in the mist
In that hazy atmosphere
How you sighed when we kissed
I heard the gentle sound you made as we shared a kiss
With the wind and the rain in your hair
Even with the wind and rain, you looked mesmerizing with your hair blowing
Now it will be my favorite memory
This moment will always be cherished and remain my most beloved memory
That vision of you standing there
The image of you standing before me will forever be ingrained in my thoughts
Mm, there in the mist
Oh, in that hazy and mysterious ambiance
How you sighed when we kissed
The soft sigh you emitted while we kissed
With the wind and the rain in your hair
Even amidst the windy and rainy conditions, your hair remained alluring

Yes, it remains a great album after 50 years. I do not know why he abandoned jazz, especially since he was one of the best jazz pianists at the time. Like you, I had to digitalize the album.to enjoy it now.
@Gefreiter44
Great album! I bought this album shortly after it was released and eventually remastered it to cd. It's interesting to me how someone like Andre ventured from jazz oriented piano to classical for so many years. The same with John (formerly known as "Johnny") Williams. Previn came back to jazz for awhile but Williams never did. I will remember Previn more for what he did in his earlier years than for what he did later on.
@catman916
At the time he was one of the best jazz pianists.

Grand chef d'orchestre, excellent jazzmen, et en plus à l'aise dans les musiques d'ambiance...bravo M. André Prévin.
Dommage qu'en France, les médias du secteur 'Classique' ne font pas allusion à votre talent dans les autres domaines.
@PurnimaThakerDhorajiwalapRTd
love it....Amazing....
@deb6sbcglobal
Previn was made to play jazz!
@MrJpartridge
i go back a LONG way and I loved andre previn the moment I heard Like Young - but my mem0roy is that the "critics" dismissed him as superficial and too stylized to be considered serious Jazz - as with so many things there is the "elite" and the ordinary listener the elite tells us what is supposed to be serious art and dismiss our opinions out of hand. Best example Andy Warhol -the new york art intelligentsia decided Andy was a great artist - I for one could never understand their opinions
@catman916
Jim, I too loved his jazz piano starting with Like Young and bought his MGM and Columbia LPs. It's too bad that not all are available on CD. I recall that in the early '60s, he consistently placed around No. 3 on the Playboy Jazz Poll, just after Oscar Peterson.
@albertdiner
Was this theme part of the 1939 film GONE WITH THE WIND starring Clark Gable., of course not in a jazz tempo.
@rebeccat3692
No, the two have nothing to do with each other. This song by Allie Wrubel, with lyrics by Herb Magidson, was written in 1937. Not sure who did the score for the 1939 movie based on Margaret Mitchell's novel of the same name.
