Anyway, I know Jerry Goldsmith used the instrumental in Caboblanco and the Billie Holiday recording in Forever Young. It obviously must have been dear to his heart. Anyone know of any personal significance of this song to the late Mr. G?
I sincerely doubt he had anything to do with its placement in Forever Young, it would have been something selected by the director, music supervisor etc. It's rare a pre-existing song not composed by them is spotted by the composer.
As for Caboblanco, I surmise he was asked (or more likely the orchestrator) to make an arrangement.

Well here we go again, I just discovered an instrumental placement in another Goldsmith film, Six Degrees Of Separation. That makes three.
Hmmm. Yes, I'd start to think it was more than a coincidence, too.
I wonder if money has something to do with it. Does one of JG's friends get a slice of the royalties for this song, maybe?

The song was composed by English bandleader Ray Noble in 1934. He held the rights throughout his lifetime. After he died in 1978, the rights reverted to his wife Gladys. She assigned them to the publisher Herald Square Music in 1990.
The only connections between Goldsmith and Noble that I could dredge up were:
1. Both men composed music for the CBS Radio Workshop, which was an experimental dramatic radio anthology series that aired on CBS from January 27, 1956, until September 22, 1957. Goldsmith did the music for four episodes of the series; Noble did two.
2, In the 1990 film, THE RUSSIA HOUSE, protagonist "Barley" Blair, played by Sean Connery, is portrayed as having once played in the "great Ray Noble's Band."

As it's been almost a half-hour and no one's bit, is it "As Time Goes By"?
...And what did Eddie Cantor have to do with WB's "Merrie Melodies" theme?
