LAURA ~ Woody Herman (vocal) & his Orchestra ~ 1945~ Columbia Records.
LAURA was originally recorded as an instrumental and used in the 1944 film classic : "LAURA" , starring: Dana Andrews, Gene Tierney, & Vincent Price. In 1945 lyrics were added by Singer-Composer- Lyricist, Johnny Mercer, and was recorded in February of the same year by Woody Herman on the Columbia Records label. The film was based on a 1942 novel written by Vera Caspary, also titled " LAURA " . It should be noted that when Johnny Mercer wrote the lyrics to David Raksin's melody, he had never watched the film that the melody was used in and yet, his lyrics captured the feeling & tone of the film almost completely. Johnny Mercer was an amazing talent.

This is the record that made Harry James so angry. James recorded the same tune 12 days earlier than this version, with Buddy Di Vito on vocal. But Columbia had just signed Woody Herman's new band, (referred to as the "First Herd"), and was eager to release their material. They canned James version in favor of this one, and it turned out to be a monster hit for Woody in 1945. Columbia did finally issue James version on their budget Harmony label in the late 1960s.
