"Cry Me a River" is a popular American torch song, written by Arthur Hamilton and first published in 1953. A jazzy blues ballad, "Cry Me a River" was originally written for Ella Fitzgerald to sing in the 1920s-set film, Pete Kelly's Blues (released 1955) but the song was dropped. Fitzgerald first released a recording of the song on Clap Hands, Here Comes Charlie! in 1961.

The classic torch song has been covered by several artists over the years including a recent release by Michael Bublé, but the song's first release and most famous recording was by actress/singer Julie London in 1955. A sultry performance of the song by London in the 1956 film "The Girl Can't Help It" helped to make it a million-selling blockbuster (#9 US/#22 UK).

My rendition of "Cry Me a River" is a transposed version of Dinah Washingtons recording, featured in her 1959 album "What a Difference a Day Makes".
