Did I Remember - Billy Holiday 1936
Last night we saw the movie Celebrity, a wonderful movie produced by
Woodie Allen in 1998. Woodie has an unbelievable taste to add music tracks to a film to create the right ambiance. In this film he uses the tune Did I Remember sung by Billy Holiday in 1936.
Billies career had just taken off and it was the first time she had the backing of Bunny Berigan on trumpet with the incredible Joe Bushkin on piano, the fine Artie Shaw on clarinet and Cozy Cole on drums.
"Did I Remember" was originally from the movie "Suzy", one of Jean Harlow's last films. She "sung" it in the movie(using someone else's voice). And on the sheet music the writers dedicated this song to Jean.
