Noir
Adi Braun invites you to an hour of delicious and dangerous music from the era of the film noir. Let Marlene Dietrich wrap you in the arms of “The Blue Angel” (1931), Doris Day sing of Ruth Etting’s woes in “Love Me or Leave Me” (1955), be seduced by the haunting beauty of David Raksin’s melody “Laura” (1944), and taste the bittersweet reality of life in “Blues in the Night” (1941). Noir is filled with songs and repartee from this truly unique period in film-making where, as Fay Helm said in “Phantom Lady,” there are “no names, no addresses – just companions for the evening.”

Chanel and The Ink Spots

This is the tv commercial that I saw years ago when I was about 14. I asked my Nanny about the song in the ad. I had never heard it before. Nanny had the album and pulled it out. Today I found the ad online. I couldn't remember what it was for. I also re-purchased the Ink Spots Album. Its definitely a classic, and so is this commercial. I know, I know...its hard to beleive I'm gay!
