Thinking of You (1927 song) - Wikipedia

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"Thinking of You" is a popular song, composed by Harry Ruby with lyrics by Bert Kalmar. It was introduced in the Broadway show, The Five O'Clock Girl (1927) when it was sung by Mary Eaton and Oscar Shaw.^[1]

The song had two special periods of popularity: 1928 and 1950, the latter in relation to the release of the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer film, Three Little Words, based on the life of Kalmar and Ruby. In the film, Vera-Ellen (dubbed by Anita Ellis) sings the song which then develops into a major dance routine with Fred Astaire.^[2] Hit versions of the song were recorded by Eddie Fisher and Don Cherry.

The recording by Don Cherry was released by Decca Records as catalog number 27128. It first reached the Billboard Best Seller chart on September 15, 1950, and lasted 21 weeks on the chart, peaking at number four.^[3]

The recording by Eddie Fisher was released by RCA Victor as catalog number 20-3901 (78 r.p.m.) and 47-3901 (45 r.p.m). It first reached the Billboard Best Seller chart on October 6, 1950, and lasted 18 weeks on the chart, peaking at number eight. This was Fisher's first charting hit.^[4]

Cherry re-recorded the song for his album, There Goes My Everything in 1967.^[5]
