| Jo Stafford - Begin the Beguine |
 |
Begin the Beguine is one of the most
BEAUTIFUL songs Jo Stafford ever recorded!
This song was written by Cole Porter in the
mid 30's and has been recorded by many
singers but for me, Jo's version is simply
THE BEST!!!!!

| Jo Stafford - You Belong To Me |
 |
YOU BELONG TO ME
Jo's biggest-selling hit (1952),
over 2 million copies. Stayed
#1 for 12 weeks!
This is the 1963 Capitol Records
stereo version.
--ABOUT THE SONG--
(From Wikipedia)
You Belong To Me is credited to three
writers: Pee Wee King, Redd Stewart, and
Chilton Price. Actually Price wrote most of
the song, and gave rights to the other two in
exchange for publicity. Pee Wee King and Redd
Stewart did rearrange the song because it was
written as a war song during World War II and
changed the title to "You Belong To Me" along
with arranging the music. Price gave them
equal credit because of the success of an
earlier hit which she had written, "Slow Poke
(posted here on bmcneese45a)," which had done
so well with a similar arrangement that she
felt she could do better by ceding partial
credit to King and Stewart, rather than
trying to publicize the song herself.
--LYRICS--
See the pyramids along the Nile
Watch the sun rise on a tropic isle
But just remember, darling, all the while
You belong to me.
See the marketplace in old Algiers
Send me photographs and souvenirs
Just remember when a dream appears
You belong to me.
I'll be so alone without you
Maybe you'll be lonesome too---and blue
Fly the ocean in a silver plane
See the jungle when its wet with rain
Just remember till you're home again
You belong to me
I'll be so alone without you
Maybe you'll be lonesome too---and blue
Fly the ocean in a silver plane
See the jungle when its wet with rain
Bur remember darling till you're home again
That you belong to me
