Thesong was published in 1931, though thesame lyric with different music had beenpublished five years earlier. It wasintroduced in the Broadway musical BillyRose's Crazy Quilt, which opened in May,1931, where it was sung by Fanny Brice.And sure enough, in the 1931 book:I found a million dollar baby, in a five and tencent store; from Billy Rose's crazy quilt, lyricby Billy Rose and Mort Dixon, music byHarry Warren. © May 4, 1931; 2 c. May 7; Epub. 22856; Remick music corp., New York.And according to Wikipedia, the 1931 versionis what took off, primarily from recordings byWaring’s Pennsylvanians and Bing Crosby,and we know that’s the version Gill sang onthis Crosby tribute CD.I Found a Round-a-bout Way toHeaven (Abner Silver–HarryRichman–Harry De Costa)Charleston Chasers 1287Record had “Roundabout” by Silver, Richmanand Leon DeCosta.Not in Rust--who wrote the liner notes for thisCD.

Didn’tfind labels, but good evidence that Weemslabel was the way we show it (Victor Projectshows it that way, saying source is disc label)and likely is the source of our title), butGerunovitch is “I Found You Out When IFound You In (Somebody Else’s Arms).”MTSU omits quotes, 1928, A.

Sunshine Boys 1156Grand Dominion JB 1337Charleston Chasers 1376Here’s a strange one. ASM has three copies.1. credits Klauber & Stoddard; has photo ofJerry Sellers (?);(c) 1928 Forster Music.2. credits w. Klauber/m. Stodard; same coverdesign, but photo now is unnamed group ofmen and there’s a blurb: “Featured by Ford &Glenn.”(c) transferred 1929 to Forster Music(c) 1928 by Harry Stoddard(c) 1928 by Ford and Glenn.3. Same design, but photo now is Ford &Glenn; credits are Maide Weaver and Ford &Glenn.(c) transferred 1929 to Forster Music(c) 1928 by Ford & GlennThe dates are contradictory, but I’m guessingthis all means that Klauber & Stoddard wroteit; Ford & Glenn performed it, then bought it.Our listing can stay the same unless we learnsomething else.I Go So Far with Sophie and SophieGoes So Far with Me (see Sophie)I Got a Misery (Larry Yoell–Herb Scharlin–Al Jacobs)
