Notes: ~ The song "You Were Meant for Me" was introduced by Charles King in the

1929 Hollywood musical "The Broadway Melody" and then dubbed his voice on the

soundtrack for "Hollywood Revue of 1929." Frank Morgan performed the song in the

1940 Motion Picture Musical "Hullabaloo" as did Dan Dailey in the 1948 Motion Picture

Musical "You Were Meant For Me" and Gene Kelly with Debbie Reynolds in the 1952

Motion Picture Musical "Singin' in the Rain."
