Song of the Day: I Remember You

The song of the day for Wednesday, February 27, 2013 is I Remember You.

About This Song

I Remember You was written in 1941, with music by Victor Schertzinger and lyrics by Johnny Mercer.

It was introduced in the 1942 movie The Fleet’s In, where it was introduced by Dorothy Lamour, along with Bob Eberly and Helen O’Connell with the Jimmy Dorsey Orchestra.

About This Version

As you might have already figured out, I can’t go more than a couple of weeks without featuring a Johnny Mercer song. Tony Bennett has only recorded I Remember You once, for his 2004 The Art of Romance.  This album is one of my favorites as is this song. And the cover photo of Mr. Bennett is wonderful!
