Adrien Chevalier - Avant de Mourir (Georges Boulanger)

“Avant de mourir“ (Before dying) is a salon music piece composed by romanian violinist Georges Boulanger in 1926. It became a popular standard with the addition in 1939 of lyrics by Carlos Gomez Barrera and Jimmy Kennedy, retitled “My Prayer“. Glenn Miller recorded the song that year for a number two hit and The Ink Spots’ version featuring Bill Kenny reached number three, as well, that year. It has been recorded many times since, but the biggest hit version was a doo-wop rendition in 1956 by The Platters, whose single release reached number one on the Billboard Top 100 in the summer, and ranked four for the year.
