Ramona (song)

Ramona (song)

"Ramona" is a song written by L. Wolfe Gilbert (words) and Mabel Wayne (music) and used as the title song in the Ramona (film) based on the novel "Ramona" by Helen Hunt Jackson. The song was used again in the 1936 remake of the movie.

On record, it was a popular hit, usually performed as a romantic ballad and sometimes with a Latin inflection by, among others, "Whispering" Jack Smith and, in an idiosyncratic arrangement recorded on 4 January 1928, the Paul Whiteman Orchestra. It was a German number one hit in 1960 for the Blue Diamonds in an upbeat style similar to the Everly Brothers recordings of that period.

It has been used on the soundtracks of several other films, most recently by Ken Loach in "Land and Freedom" (1995) and in the BAFTA-nominated "Harry un ami qui vous veut du bien" (2000).
