This Song Peaked At #3 On US Charts In 1938.
Critics marvel over "You Go to My Head." Praise for its composer, J. Fred Coots, is not as complimentary, most often characterizing him as a one-hit wonder.
"You Go to My Head" is a 1938 popular song composed by J. Fred Coots with lyrics by Haven Gillespie.
The song is a unique conjunction[says who?] of a sophisticated lyric and complex, lush harmonic structure by two songwriters who were not generally known for such elegance; nevertheless the song is highly regarded by jazz musicians and critics alike.
Martha Tilton's version with Benny Goodman is MUCH better.

@andrewssisterfan I love this version very much, too. However, both of Billie Holiday's versions (her version from same year of 1938 and Holiday's remake of 1952, are every bit the equal or better of this version, but I still don't want to take ANYTHING away (if you can believe that) from the sweet and lovely and perfectly rendered version by Ms. Wain (Weinsier) and Larry C.
