THE MORNING AFTER  Lyricist Dory Previn Langdon was married to Andre Previn who was a great admirer of Harold Arlen's compositions, especially his unique and often unorthodox constructions and exquisite harmonic sense. 
This woman's lament is sung by Eileen Farrell, a noted American opera and concert singer who also had a career singing popular songs on the radio in the 1940's. There was  mutual admiration between Farrel and Arlen which become evident in the very natural and unforced singing of Eileen Farrell. Previn has always provided wonderful piano accompaniment for a number of female singers as he does in this performance.
