  Baby Mine - Jim Brickman & Kassie DePaiva

It was 66 years ago on this day that Walt Disney released his fourth animated feature film to theatres! Dumbo is one of the most touching and enduring movies from the House of Mouse and it is still a favourite of children and adults today!

The film has a many songs but the obvious favourite is Baby Mine, the lullaby that Dumbo's mother sings to put him to sleep. As far as covers go most artists tend to stick pretty close to the original. Any why shouldn't they? It works so well as a love ballad and to drastically change it would be like eating garlic flavoured ice cream.

JIM BRICKMAN'S version combines his beautiful piano playing with the sweet voice of KASSIE DEPAIVA. DePaiva is a soap opera actress in my mind. I was surprised to hear her singing on this track but upon research I found that she perfomed at the Grand Ole Opery at the age of 18 and has a few albums out. Who knew?
