And, this number made a memorable-reprise couple-years later, as underscoring in Hitchcock's "Rear Window" -- in fact, guessing what movie it was from is a popular trivia-game among my crowd! I love Van Husen's songs (Harry Babcock,I believe) but there are a whole-flock of great talents, the public never heard-of (Robin & Rainger, who wrote "Thanks for the Memory", Gordon & Revel at Fox.etc.) Among that crowd, my grandfather, M.K. Jerome, at Warners, who did "Knock On Wood" "Casablanca"! R.J.
One of the great ballads composed for Bing Crosby...and there were many more for Frank Sinatra...by Jimmy Van Heusen (Edward Babcock)who was probably Hollywood's most under-rated songwriter. He has left an enduring repertoire of movie and jazz standards. His
songs are appreciated by all modern musicians, yet his name is virtually unknown to the general public. Long overdue: a
sheet music songbook of all major Van Heusen
songs composed in collaboration with De Lange, Burke and Cahn.
It's on CD - Sepia Records....THROUGH THE YEARS VOL. 4
He doesn't sing the verse in the commercial recording.
