LEAD VOCAL.
"Ain't She Sweet" is a song composed by Milton Ager (music) and Jack Yellen (lyrics) and published in 1927 by Edwin H. Morris & Co., Inc./Warner Bros., Inc. It became popular in the first half of the twentieth century, one of the smash hit songs that typified the Roaring Twenties. Like "Happy Days Are Here Again" (1929), it became a Tin Pan Alley standard. Both Ager and Yellen were elected to membership in the Songwriters Hall of Fame.
Milton Ager wrote "Ain't She Sweet" for his daughter Shana Ager, who later grew up and became Shana Alexander, a political commentator.
"Ain't She Sweet" was also performed by The Beatles (with Lennon on lead vocals). It was recorded on June 23, 1961 at the Friedrich-Ebert-Halle, Hamburg, Germany with Pete Best on drums, and Bernard Purdie for drum overdubs,produced by Bert Kaempfert, released in 1964, May 29 on Polydor NH 52-317 (UK).. A different rendition, recorded during a jam session in 1969 with Ringo Starr on drums, was released on The Beatles Anthology 3. The song was also included in John Lennon's anthology album.
