Swithin Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 ["The Song Is You" originated in the Kern/Hammerstein Broadway musical Music in the Air, but was cut from the movie version.

I had a record of pop singer Linda Scott singing " I told Every Little Star" in the early 60s. But I only heard my favorite version of " The Song Is You " as an adult. It was the last song that Frank Sinatra sang with Tommy Dorsey. I had to search for a reference for the song because I already knew it was cut from the movie "Music in the Air".) *Next: Song from a movie directed by William Wellman 1 Link to post Share on other sites
