The song of the day for Sunday, March 1, 2026, is “More Than You Know.”
About This Song
“More Than You Know” was composed in 1929 by Vincent Youmans with lyrics by Billy Rose and Edward Eliscu for the Broadway musical Great Day, which ran for only 36 performances. In spite of its poor run on Broadway, the score was considered very good and so it got sold to Hollywood, where it was to be a starring vehicle for Joan Crawford. Eight weeks into production, the film was shut down and was never released. Thankfully, this song remained popular, in many ways thanks to Fanny Brice, who was married to Billy Rose, and sang the song in her performances with the Ziegfeld Follies. It has been widely recorded by jazz and popular artists since it was written.
