Recorded by Bing Crosby who helped write the lyrics with Ned Washington. It was mastered twice on October 14th 1932 and released on Brunswick and Columbia labels. The Brunswick release rose to no 5 on the pop charts in 1933. It has since been recorded countless times and is regarded as a pop and Jazz standard.
Victor Young was born in Chicago, Illanois in 1900 and died 1956. He was a composer, violinist, arranger and conductor. He came from a musical family, his father being a member of a touring Opera company. His musical education commenced in Poland at the Warsaw Imperial Conservatory where he achieved a Diploma of Merit. He went on to Paris where he studied Piano with Isadore Phillip. As a teenager he embarked on a career as a concert violinist with the Warsaw Philharmonic Orchestra. Later he returned to the US and went west to LA where he was employed continuously in bands as an arranger and violinist.
He was commissioned in 1930 by the band leader and radio host, Isham Jones, to re-write Hoagy Charmichael's "Star Dust" which until then had been played as an up-tempo piano solo wihtout words. He produced a reading which catapulted it to become probably the greatest romantic ballad of all time..
He wrote many important ballads incl "When I fall in Love'; Sweet Sue; Love Letters; Street of Dreams; My Foolish Heart; Stella by Starlight to name a few.
My arrangement follows the voicing of Glen Rose using both his major and minor Jazz patterns throughout.
