Who Sang The Original Remember Me When The Candle Lights Are Gleaming?
Hi there, The original “Remember me When The Candle Lights are Gleaming”, written by Scott Wiseman in 1939, seems to be sung first by his wife LuLu Belle, with accompanement by Scott Wiseman. They recorded it on september, 24 1940 for the Conqueror label, strangely enough it was the B-side to the now forgotten “Did you ever go sailing”. The song itself was copyrighted in 1946. On the site Bobdylanroots.com you can find this clarificantion on the song by Scott Wiseman: This song was written in 1939 when LuLu Belle and I spent a year at radio station WLW, Cincinnati. In our guest room at home when I was a child there was a fancy old cup and saucer which sat on the dresser. The phrase “Remember Me” was on the cup in fancy gold lettering. We children were not allowed to touch this momento [sic] of the sentimental Gay Nineties, somehow connected with the courtship of Mother and Dad. Feeling a bit homesick and sentimental during the bustle of radio shows and road trips, I “made up” the song
