- Notes: ~ Doris Day, as Ruth Etting, sang this song in the 1955 Hollywood musical
"Love Me of Leave Me"
- but it was a big hit for
Al Jolson in 1913 and became a staple of his Winter
Garden performances and
- generally associated with the
artist ever after. Judy Garland sang it in the musical
"The Broadway Melody of '38"
- in which she sang
it to a photograph of Clark Gable. Her version "Dear
Mr. Gable" was recorded for Decca following
- that.
Harry James had a big hit with it in 1941 and Jolson sang
it on the soundtrack of "The Jolson Story" in
1946
- which was then used in a montage in "Jolson
Sings Again" in 1949. The song was also heard in
"Syncopation"
- in 1942 and "Private
Buckaroo" in 1945.
