It Had To Be You

Here's a sweet little song that's always been close to my heart. The clips in this video are all from Random Harvest - (my all time favourite!) And it just HAD TO BE Ronald and Greer ... So yeah... Hope you like it.

"It Had to Be You" was written by Isham Jones with lyrics by Gus Kahn, and was first published in 1924.
The song was performed by Priscilla Lane in the 1939 film The Roaring Twenties and by Danny Thomas in the 1951 film I'll See You in My Dreams. The latter film was based loosely upon the lives of Gus Kahn and his wife Grace LeBoy Kahn. It was also performed by Dooley Wilson in the 1942 film Casablanca, and by Diane Keaton in the 1977 film Annie Hall. It was also performed in the film A League of Their Own by Megan Cavanagh. And then it has of course been sung by all the wonderful singers like Doris Day, Ray Charles, Barbra Streisand, Ella Fitzgerald, Frank Sinatra, Billie Holiday etc etc etc... And now you'll have to listen to my feeble version ...
Anyway - I hope you like it :-)
Hugs

Wait, this is you singing? Gorgeous! Your voice is so calm but with so much emotion, perfect for these lyrics and the song... hehehe. Do you have your own site or something?

I totally forgot what to say, hahaha.
