| Video Discription | I'm wild again, beguiled again. A simpering, whimpering child again. Bewitched, bothered, and bewildered am I. Couldn't sleep and wouldn't sleep when love came and told me I shouldn't sleep. Bewitched, bothered and bewildered am I. Lost my heart, but what of it? He is cold--I agree. He can laugh, but I love it although the laugh's on me. I'll sing to him each spring to him and long for the day when I'll cling to him. Bewitched, bothered, and bewildered am I. I like Benny Goodman recordings with Helen Forrest as vocalist very much. The singer Helen Forrest was born on April 12, 1917, in Atlantic City, New Jersey. She was born Helen Fogel and was raised without a father since Louis Fogel died of the Spanish influenza when Helen was an infant. Raised in an abusive household (it become a brothel!), she was eager to move out. When Helen as a teen entered the world of show business, she was encouraged to change her last name since "Fogel" sounded too Jewish. Adopting the name "Forrest," she worked on radio and in clubs, finally spotted by Artie Shaw, who needed a replacement for Billie Holiday. The first Artie Shaw disc to feature Helen Forrest was recorded on September 27, 1938: "You're A Sweet Little Headache." She gained fame singing for Artie Shaw, her best record at that time being "All The Things You Are"--a perfect recording of a perfect song! But Shaw left the business on November 18, 1939, leaving Helen without a job. She next worked for Benny Goodman, who was a difficult employer (he paid her less than Artie Shaw), and in later years Helen Forrest had nothing kind to say about Goodman though she recorded around 54 titles with the Goodman ensemble. She then joined the Harry James band in 1941, and that ensemble enjoyed several wartime hits, the most successful in 1942 being "I Had the Craziest Dream" and "I Don't Want to Walk Without You." Forrest also dated James--her feelings for James were the opposite of her feelings for Benny Goodman! Forrest became more popular than ever, but Harry James made discs that were highly commercial, far from jazz--listeners today may speak of artistic decline for Helen Forrest. By late 1943 she struck out on her own as a featured singer, no longer a singer attached to a big band, but she returned to bands for brief spells during the remainder of her life. Helen Forrest died from congestive heart failure on July 11, 1999, in Woodland Hills, California, at the age of 82. Her final resting place is in Mount Sinai Memorial Park in Los Angeles. pLuW9qjFlyc |
