ReplyDeleteYou are the same person !!!
All lovely couples last to first!
ReplyDeleteLOVE THIS, POPPY! Not just for the romantic content, not just for the lovely photo of you and your husband, but also for your beautiful voice! It was such a treat to hear you sing! Now I know you are not just a talented writer, but a talented singer, as well. I'm thinking of this as a Valentine gift from you to us!
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful! You're both very talented!
ReplyDeleteOH OH OH You are Singing Again in a post....You are not only a Wordsmith but a Songbird..I just loveses you :) :) :) You are just a delight m'dear :)
ReplyDeleteAND your husband is as cute as you are! :) Hugs...
Wonderful post! Perfect for the Valentine in us all.
ReplyDeleteI was so excited! I wrote a comment. only i got disconnected from the network! SO...
ReplyDeletei'm back. and listened to it again!
so wonderful! the images perfectly beautiful . . . and your sweet voice . . . perfect early valentine to us all!!!!
I wish you would make your songs a regular feature . . . at least once a week even!
even if it has to be a cappella! the only thing better would be if you had added 'don't know why' on this post too. LOVE that one!!! this was such a treat.
thank you darling girl!
xo
How amazing! My husband and I both listened and we were tapping our feet...felt like dancing! You both have wonderful voices! WOW! Thanks for sharing my friend!
ReplyDeleteWhat a handsome couple you are. Lovely voices to boot. Nothing nothing like the spark of true love.
ReplyDeletexxxoo Eugenia
Poppy,
ReplyDeletewhat a beautiful song and you sing it so well.
It was amazing to hear you, I played it twice and loved it!!
You and your husband make a beautiful couple.
xo marissa.
Oh how I LOVE this!! Gorgeous friend! Some heat is welcome on this chilly morning...:)
ReplyDeleteLove whole post. But love, love, love the picture of you and your man. :-)))))))
ReplyDeleteDelightful post.
Tessa~
That was such a great post! I loved hearing you sing "Let's Do It". (Is that you husband singing with you too?) You chose some wonderful Hollywood couples to feature and, of course, you and your husband. Love that photo of you two. Sweet post.
ReplyDeleteHi Pamela,
DeleteThank you! No, my husband does not sing. Ever. Although, he does dance quite well, I have to say. The young man in the recording is a talented singer/guitarist who has presently begun a brilliant career as a geneticist, living and practicing medicine in Germany. At the time of the recording, he was a drama student of mine and member of our trio.
Loved the song! You both have lovely voices. A happy post that made me smile.
ReplyDeleteΤι ωραίο ζευγάρι και τι υπέροχη φωνή! Να είστε πάντα καλά!
ReplyDeleteLoved the photo of you and hubby! Loved your singing too!!
ReplyDeletexo Kris
Hi Poppy, I love this post on love! I hope you are doing well and having a nice day! Thanks so much for stopping by my blog today! Take care and I always love your posts.
ReplyDeleteJulie
I always loved that quote by Paul Newman.
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute valentine post. You and your husband are darling.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful post my friend...love the son and the history of our celebrity couples...you and your husband make a great couple ( just beautiful) and I agree let's all fall in love again!!!!!
ReplyDeleteXO

Poppy, you have such a stunning singing voice! Love the early photo of you and your husband - so cute. I would love to see a current photo of you two lovebirds. :-)
ReplyDeleteYou have managed to find the most expressive pictures of these famous couples, but none compare to the last couple featured in this post. Indeed, Elizabeth'a violet eyes pale in comparison to your angelic face, matched only by your angelic voice.
ReplyDeleteOur friends have nicknamed us Lucy and Ricky. That pretty much sums us up. :)
It's the strangest thing, and I don't know if you will take it as a compliment, but as soon as I started playing your song, 2 of the cats jumped on the desk and were riveted to the computer. I've never seen them show the slightest interest in music before. Of course you know I'm a fan of your voice so I guess I'll count Maeve and Michaela as members of your fan club.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful post, Poppy! Love the couples you picked and especially you and your beloved. My husband has been my Valentine for note years than I can count! Still love him, too.

ReplyDeleteYour post are so unique!
You and your hubby make a beautiful couple.
I would've loved to hear you sing, but it didn't work for me.
but I know the song and it will probably be in my mind for days now!
Hello Poppy! I read this post the other day and I heard your beautiful song when I was interrupted mid comment.. And then I never had a chance to come back! I'm glad someone asked if you were singing with your husband because I wondered too. The photo of you and your husband is adorable. Your voice is amazing too! What a wonderful talent to have.
ReplyDeleteHi Poppy, I loved the post so much, so fun seeing the beautiful couples, I was looking at Desi Arnez's watch, so small, so odd looking because they are all so large now...everyone looks so fresh and new...loved seeing them again, sure takes you back to the day, they were all so in love....thanks for sharing
ReplyDeleteThat is a beautiful picture of you and hubby. Desi and Lucy brings back good memories. I watched the show as a kid and than my kids watched it and now would you believe my grandkids watch it now.
ReplyDeleteLove this post Poppy - and love the photo of you and your husband!
ReplyDeleteMy daughter's girlfriend sand that song at her wedding - the most beautiful
Jazz rendering of it you could imagine - in the Church - we all had goosebumps!
XOXO
Aww.....such a sweet post. I love it!
ReplyDeletePatty at Home and Lifestyle Design
Love your post! Big Paul Newman fan, so thanks for highlighting him and Joanne!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great post Poppy! Love seeing the actors and the romantic thoughts they had. You and your husband's picture is cute! Love the song!
ReplyDeleteI thought I was listening to Judy Garland. My friend, not only you are gifted and talented, you are beautiful inside and out. I can see the happiness in your eyes, captured by that photograph of you and your hubby.
ReplyDeleteWishing you a wonderful heart day soon.
Hugs all the way from Sydney.
So romantic photos...they speak itself!
ReplyDeleteAWE! What a sweet valentine. I had never seen Gina Rowland with her husband before, what a beautiful woman she is, one of my favs! I love the picture of you and hubby! So cute! :)
ReplyDelete~Liz
What an amazing voice you have!Great post again today!AriadnefromGreece!
ReplyDeletePaul Newman's line was actually: " Why go out for hamburger when you have steak at home". Love the photos!
ReplyDeleteHi Anonymous,
DeleteThank you. Re: your observation, I copied and pasted the quote straight from here:
http://voices.yahoo.com/paul-newman-quotes-his-top-ten-best-quotations-sayings-7572356.html?cat=40
Maybe, he was known to 'fool around' with the wording every so often. I've actually seen it quoted both ways. In any case, we all know what he meant, right? :-D
Hi Poppy - What a beautiful couple you two!!! By the way, you look the same. You are a poet and singer!!! Sweet post, my friend.

What a fun post - and lovely too. It's good to be reminded of passion and soul mates this cold cold winter day.
ReplyDeleteLovely post.
ReplyDeleteHello Poppy! What a lovely post! and you have such a beautiful voice!!!! I enjoyed it very much!
ReplyDeleteVery nice picture of you and your husband!!
Thanks for your visit and kind comments on my blog!
I wish you a lovely Sunday!!!!
What a beautiful post my friend! I love those actors from Classic Hollywood, they were the best, the most gorgeous and great people most of them! You two were and are a beautiful couple. Happy Valentine's ahead, may you both be in love 4/ever!
ReplyDeleteFABBY
Cute post for Valentine's Day, Poppy! Wishing you a Happy Valentine's Day to you and your hubby!
ReplyDeleteThe cutest post ever, Poppy! You and your husband are adorable. You looked so content. Happy Valentine's Day to you and Hubby, Poppy. Christa
ReplyDeleteThis truly is one of the best Valentine's Day posts!!! I am old...or at least old enough to remember all of these fabulous actors in their heyday. It was all so romantic...just like many of the movies they made! I can remember wishing Paul Newman would propose to me! SO handsome, so charismatic, and just an all-round good guy!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you included the photo of you and your husband. Such a neat photo of 2 people in love!
Happy Valentine's Day to you! Thank you for sharing this fun and romantic walk down memory lane!
My mom used to make us watch all the old movies and she would tell us the backstory of the stars' love lives. I used to love hearing the glamorous stories ~ they just don't make stars the way they used to! I know that there were tawdry scandals back in the day, but somehow, they still managed to seem classier than the stars of today!
ReplyDeleteUwielbiam Liz Taylor i Paul Newman, piękne zdjęcia i złote myśli na Walentynki:))
ReplyDeleteVisiting first time from Return to Loveliness. Loved your song! and all those great Hollywood couples!
ReplyDeleteOh, just look how cute you two are!
ReplyDeletePoppy, Love this post for Valentine's. Loved your song too!! I'll be featuring you this week at Simple & Sweet Fridays. Happy Valentine's Day!
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Jody
Good to see your blog. Have a great day!
ReplyDeleteI love this song and loved your rendition of it, and I love the post and all the wonderful quotes.
ReplyDeleteOh Poppy, look at you and your husband! What a darling picture, my friend :) Thanks for this fun post and for sharing at Roses of Inspiration - you are a sweetie. Hugs!
ReplyDeleteI like the Cole Porter song you used and some great pictures.
ReplyDeleteHave a great week.
