Mildred Bailey - All Of Me 1931
Acc.Paul Whiteman and Orchestra
Chicago, Illinois Victor
22879-B
Vaudeville star Belle Baker introduced the public to "All of Me" over the radio in 1931. Detroit songwriters,
Seymour Simons and Gerald Marks, offered Baker the song, and she sang it onstage at the Motor City's famous Fisher Theatre.
As the story goes, the singer had just lost her husband, and, struck by the personal sense of loss conveyed in the lyrics, broke down weeping during a performance.
The national press picked up the story and before long the song was a hit.
December 1, 1931, recording of "All of Me" by Paul Whiteman and His Orchestra, with vocalist Mildred Bailey, was the song's first major hit.
It entered the pop charts in January of 1932 and rose to the number one position where it held for three weeks.
